Hunger affects around 830 million people worldwide - in other words, one in ten of our fellow human beings. This situation is exacerbated by climate change that is threatening the livelihoods of entire regions. We see sustainable agriculture as being part of the solution to these challenges. Following our corporate purpose "Science for a better life", we develop digital solutions that provide farmers the needed information about the condition and health of their farmland. When combining this information with tangible recommendations, farmers can implement the right actions in their fields. Today, some of these digital solutions are being already successfully used. For example, our solution for assessing the health of crops or their infestation in fields based on individual images. We are looking for bright and creative minds who want to be part of our digital journey. If you are interested in digital product development for crop protection; software engineering, artificial intelligence, hardware engineering, robots and drones challenge you; and if you love working on tangible innovations, then apply now!
