AGCO Progresses on its Sustainability Journey, Giving Farmers More Precision Ag and Clean Technology Solutions

DULUTH, GA |  AGCO Corporation (NYSE: AGCO), a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, today released its 2023 Sustainability Report: Farmer First. Future Focused

https://ar2023.agcocorp.com/downloads/AGCO_Sustainability_Report_2023.pdf] From operating more sustainably worldwide and helping farmers do the same, the company continued to make progress on its commitments.

“When farmers win, AGCO wins,” said Eric Hansotia, AGCO Chairman, President & CEO. “Our Farmer-First strategy is about understanding farmers’ pain points so we can better serve them. This year’s Sustainability Report highlights progress on commitments in our own operations and the many solutions at work and in development to help farmers sustainably feed the world.”

The Path to Clean Energy Products

The path toward decarbonization begins in AGCO’s manufacturing plants and extends to farmers’ fields. The company does this by serving farmers with a choice of clean energy solutions, from electrifying lower horsepower products to developing hydrogen- and biomethane-compatible powertrains.

Examples of the company’s purpose-driven innovation in 2023 include the launch of the first battery-electric tractor, the Fendt e107 V Vario, and the award-winning CORE75 AGCO Power engine, which, like all AGCO Power engines, can run on hydrotreated vegetable oil.

Video: Democratizing Gene Editing - Pairwise’s Vision for the Future of Agriculture

Pairwise has built its business around an idea that runs counter to how many companies approach innovation: make transformative technology easier to access.

In this Seed World interview, CEO Tom Adams discusses why broader access to gene editing could speed crop improvement, expand innovation opportunities and help agriculture address emerging challenges. He explains why Pairwise believes no single company can solve all of agriculture's problems alone—and why making advanced breeding technologies available to more organizations could accelerate progress across the industry.

The conversation explores how consumer trust influences technology adoption, why innovations like pitless cherries and seedless blackberries matter beyond convenience, and how future crop improvements could help address labor shortages, automation, harvest efficiency and other production challenges. Adams also shares his perspective on what the industry may be underestimating about the next wave of gene editing innovation.

Watch the full interview to hear why Pairwise believes agriculture is approaching an important inflection point for gene editing, and why the pace of innovation over the next decade could surprise the industry.

Topics Covered:

o Democratizing agricultural innovation

o Consumer trust and technology adoption

o The business case for sharing innovation

o Expanding innovation beyond major crops

o Next-generation breeding technologies
