  Beth Wangari is a farmer in Kenya. She's one of 450 million smallholder (耕种小块农田者) farmers worldwide. Together, they produce over 25% of the world's food supply. But they could do much more. Across Sub-Saharan Africa, the average farm produces only 1.3 tonnes of maize (玉米) per hectare (公顷). In North America, a farm produces 7 times as much.

  What Beth needs is the technology and skills that can help her get more from her land.

  As one of the world's leading agricultural companies, Syngenta helps farmers across the world to raise harvests (收成) while saving water and soil. This is part of what we call The Good Growth Plan.
