Natural Resources

Natural resources play a critical role in agriculture. Farmers depend on these resources – such as land, water and energy – to grow their crops so they can provide for their families and their communities. However, supplies of these natural resources are limited. Advanced seeds and improved farming techniques that make the most efficient use of these essential resources can help farmers around the world overcome this challenge and sustain our planet.
