Biotechnology innovation
Benefits for farmers, consumers and our environment
Cargill is committed to serving the needs of our food and feed manufacturing customers with the full range of grains and oilseeds on the market today: genetically-enhanced crops, conventionally bred crops and specialty grains.
Agricultural biotechnology is thoroughly researched and regulated and we see it as a powerful tool that may help raise living standards around the world. Modern-day biotechnology practices make it possible to maximize crop yields and grow crops in areas of the world that were never before possible.
Human and environmental safety is critical to the research and application of biotechnology
We are also aware of the reluctance with which some consumers and producers view biotech crops – and the challenges that governments face in regulating them.
We support science-based safety and environmental regulation of biotechnology. We also recognize that consumer preferences and variations in producer use will ultimately determine demand.
