Agriculture may be the world’s oldest industry, but at Syngenta, it is being reshaped by some of the most advanced technologies available today. As Chief Information and Digital Officer, Feroz Sheikh leads efforts to integrate data, artificial intelligence and digital platforms into how food is grown and how farmers make decisions.
“Syngenta is an agriculture inputs provider,” Sheikh explained. “We make the crop protection products that farmers use on their fields, and we develop seeds for crops like corn, soybeans and tomatoes.” Operating in more than 100 countries with roughly 60,000 employees, Syngenta Group reported approximately $28.5 billion in sales in 2025. This scale increases Syngenta’s global reach and influences highly localized farming realities.
