Corteva Agriscience
Corteva Agriscience, a brand of Corteva, Inc., is a global pure-play agriculture company focused on seed, crop protection, and digital agriculture solutions. Formed through the merger and subsequent spin-off of DowDuPont’s agriculture division, it serves farmers worldwide with advanced genetics, crop protection chemistries, and farm management technologies. The company combines R&D in plant science, chemistry, and data science to improve productivity, sustainability, and resilience in food production.
AI Strategy
Corteva Agriscience primarily uses AI and advanced analytics to power digital agriculture platforms that help farmers optimize planting, input use, and yield outcomes. The company integrates satellite imagery, sensor data, and historical field data with machine learning models to deliver field-level recommendations and risk insights. AI is positioned as an enabler of more precise, sustainable, and profitable farming rather than as a standalone product line.
