Agri-Pulse Open Mic: Jeff Rowe, CEO, Syngenta

This week's Open Mic guest is Jeff Rowe, CEO of Syngenta Group. He says crop protection companies are looking to improve the health of human beings around the globe and boost agriculture's environmental footprint. In addition to their existing product portfolio, Rowe sees tremendous growth opportunities for artificial intelligence and biological products to enhance crop growth, sustainability, and nutrient efficiencies. However, U.S. regulatory headwinds may slow down access to some new products, especially compared to what's available for South American growers.
