The next generation of U.S. growers will have more tools for making informed decisions than any generation before it. Syngenta has led the industry in this area, offering AgriEdge Excelsior®, a whole-farm management program, for nearly two decades. The company is now expanding this capability with a new team, the Digital Agriculture Solutions group. Entirely focused on whole-farm management and sustainability, the group will provide and improve innovative tools that can enhance operations for growers.

“Syngenta is committed to feeding the world,” says Aaron Deardorff, head of digital agriculture solutions at Syngenta. “Our digital ag solutions are important components of that commitment. We will continue to broaden and refine our offerings and integrations, both within and beyond the program.”

The Digital Agriculture Solutions group will collaborate across multiple business areas—including research and development, Syngenta Ventures, commercial, and production and supply functions—through the newly created Digital Agriculture Team, a global arm of Syngenta. The primary goal of this collaboration is to better meet growers’ needs.

“Our team comprises a robust variety of expertise. We want to establish a balance between sustainability, productivity and profitability for growers, as we build the foundation for the future of agriculture.”
