According to the President and CEO of BASF Plant Science Dr. Hans Kast, the future is in the genes for agriculture. Kast gave ag journalists an overview of that future in Germany last week.

“Plant biotechnology will play a crucial role in ensuring that the rapidly growing population continues to have a sufficient supply of high quality food,” said Kast.

BASF Plant Science’s research activities focus on solutions for effective agriculture, healthier nutrition and plants for use as renewable resources. BASF Plant Science is an international Research and Technology “Verbund” with eight sites in Europe and North America.
