Advocacy
Promoting policies that support sustainable practices
At BASF we champion farmers who practice sustainable agriculture and advocate for policies that support them. We embrace both the role of supporter — partnering with the USDA, Congress, grower organizations and industry influencers — and the role of leader, as we strive to actively educate the public and shape initiatives that help increase public understanding of sustainable agriculture’s benefits.
BASF Center for Sustainable Agriculture
Through the BASF Center for Sustainable Agriculture we foster critical discussion and education around the invaluable role agriculture plays in providing food, fuel, feed and fiber for the growing global population.
The center is a unique way we can support farmers with an interactive facility and education center that engages local, national and international stakeholders. Located in Research Triangle Park, NC, the center is open to the public, allowing visitors to experience sustainable agriculture in action with quiz kiosks and virtual expert interactions.
The interactive experiences highlight BASF’s committed work in:
- Sustainability and biodiversity
- Food, fuel and fiber
- Agriculture technology
- Pest control
