Great opportunity in the team of Jose Manuel Zapata Ruiz! #htp #datascience

As India’s election results are about to hit the news, I am sharing a memorable photo from our recent trip…captured while in traffic in New Delhi. Although likely remnant from past years protests for ag reforms (with so much controversial info online that I will refrain from citing), to my mind “No Farmers No Food” perfectly states a stark reality. Farmers in India have real impact on food security of an exponentially growing population. The economic impact of agriculture is huge with roughly 43% of working population in India working in Ag. Global economy depends on India’s food exports of key agricultural commodities like rice. And besides the farmers, big thanks to all ag business colleagues in India for their critical role in feeding the world!

Besides its amazing landscapes and culture, France is a cornerstone of Europe’s agriculture…1st in cereals and 3rd in vegetable and fruit production, as well as top producer of ag seed in the EU. Coming back home full of energy after visiting our cross-functional teams at the Toulouse Innovation Center. Merci beaucoup for your hospitality and memorable times! #syngentaproud

In celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, it is so encouraging to see how women are now better represented in many scientific fields such as life sciences. However, they still remain a minority in critical fields that will shape our future like engineering, information technology, data science and computer science. Also, not to forget that they are still a minority among inventors (ironically today is the National Invertors’ Day as well). Here is an insightful UN report that is a call for all of us who are interacting and inspiring girls in K-12 either as volunteer or as parent, to promote data and technology literacy from an early age! #womeninscience #womeninstem #womenindatascience #IDWGS https://lnkd.in/exHjGchQ

Happy Lunar New Year to all colleagues in China and from China! Great post by Wedu in relation to the year of the dragon…and great reminder that there is no better way to have an impact in 2024 than volunteering to mentor outstanding aspiring female leaders in Asia!

A common challenge for global teams, especially after the pandemic, is getting together face-to-face...but nothing can stop us ;) This time we organized a "virtual retreat” for the team to unplug from day-to-day, connect the dots and connect with each other…and it was a great success! Among others, we learned about our customers, met leaders in marketing, product management, product supply, germplasm development and market segment teams….and it was truly an outstanding exchange! Kudos to our exceptional organizers: Julien G., Jialu Wei, Marcela Carvalho Andrade, and Stéphane Grenier who made this happen as well as our exceptional speakers! Thank you all wholeheartedly! Starting 2024 with lots of energy and excitement for how far we can go together…#syngentaproud
