Shell PANOLIN for Agriculture
Biodegradables for Agriculture and Farming
Sustainable farming in the face of increasing populations
By 2050, a growing global population could result in the need to feed an additional 2 billion people, leading to a 60% surge in overall food demand.1
Increased prosperity also results in increased demand for animal-based products, fruits and vegetables2
Meeting the ever-growing demand requires increased productivity with more efficient and responsible operations
The farming sector can face multiple challenges and need to try
- Optimise yields and reduce ownership costs while reducing environmental impact.
- Decrease carbon footprint and enhance resource efficiency.
- Safeguard sensitive ecosystems, preventing soil, water and air pollution.
- Maintain equipment availability during critical planting and harvesting seasons.
No two clients are the same. But across every sector and every region of the globe, our clients tell us about similar challenges3:
- The need to cut costs wherever possible.
- The need to extend equipment life and cut total cost of ownership.
- The need to reduce downtime.
And there is difficulty in doing all of the above when things are constantly changing, new technologies need to be adopted and in-house expert technical advice is in short supply.
