Insights from the Forum’s Annual Conference: Interview with Petra Laux

In this edition of the Food Systems Podcast, Alex Turk talks to Petra Laux, Chief Sustainability Officer & Head Sustainability and Corporate Affairs, Syngenta, during an interview at this year's Forum for the Future of Agriculture Annual Conference. Petra explains that she believes that the Forum is still relevant today because we haven’t solved the problems. While farmers have a great history of feeding an increasing population on about the same amount of land, she highlights that new challenges have emerged including climate change and biodiversity decline. She believes that we need to be both sustainable and competitive, because as a farmer, you can’t be green if your bank account is red.
