Our Global Science Outreach

It’s ultimately up to us to show the world what we do, what we’ve done and what we can still do. For science to have the greatest impact in the world and help solve global issues especially hunger, as Corteva we need to engage with the learners and spike that interest in them.

I participate in community outreach activities because it feels good to be able to help others and because I am committed to my country. The most memorable moment doing community outreach was in the Simon Madera elementary school, where I had the opportunity to build and design a scholar garden with the help of coworkers and the students.

Our employees have had the great opportunity of being able to share what we do at a Corteva production location with several elementary and high school students as well as local FFA Chapters.  I love being able to take them through the location to show them how soybeans are brought in, conditioned, packaged, warehoused and shipped.  We are able to share with them our values of Safety and Quality and they get to see firsthand how it all works together.  They are always excited to see the equipment and operations as well as the quality testing that we do.  We get the chance to share with them our commitment to Quality for our customers and the lengths that we go to ensure that our customers get the highest quality product possible.

The future of agriculture greatly depends on helping people understand how scientific innovations will help humans to continue growing more food in a sustainable way, so everyone has access to enough food. When the community understands the science and safety behind agriculture innovations, they can greatly support farmers and contend misleading information.
