Around the globe, DuPont scientists work in concert with farmers, local businesses, governments, NGOs and others who know the “facts on the ground” in order to find the answers that will increase food protection and production.

The challenges we face in feeding the world will get only more daunting in the decades to come. But DuPont and its collaborators across the food chain are optimistic, as scientific innovations have already significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of food production.

A nutrition bar research study from Solae found that flavor and texture are the most important purchase drivers among consumers. The results can help nutrition bar companies better reach their market.

Although science provides answers that can be applied universally, DuPont experience shows that solutions for local food systems must be developed at a community level.
