CropLife International Publishes ‘A Practical Guide to Sustainable Growth’

“Agriculture stands at a crossroads,” says Emily Rees, President and CEO of CropLife International.
On one hand, global farming systems face mounting pressures from climate change, land degradation, and resource scarcity. On the other, agriculture holds untapped potential to raise productivity, restore ecosystems, and drive meaningful climate action. The challenge, Rees says, is not whether transformation can happen, but how to scale what already works.
This dual reality underpins a new report, “A Practical Guide to Sustainable Agricultural Growth: Success Stories from Around the World” (November 2025), co-authored by CropLife International and NTT DATA. The guide offers policymakers and the seed sector a blueprint for aligning productivity, sustainability, and inclusion in agricultural systems worldwide.
“When productivity, resilience, and inclusion move in tandem,” says Rees, “agriculture can evolve into a driver of sustainable growth.”
