Green Chemistry principles are especially impactful in agriculture due to the sheer size of the food value chain. Unlike the relatively small volumes of active pharmaceutical ingredients, typical annual manufacturing volumes for crop protection active ingredients are hundreds to thousands of metric tons. The Green Chemistry principles focused on waste reduction and process safety are highly relevant to the design of agrochemical manufacturing processes. However, the emphasis of green chemistry on product safety and degradation in the environment is even more critical to the design of products that are applied to crops. Corteva Agriscience is committed to the development of sustainable agrochemical products and is a leader in the development of agrochemicals that are derived from fermentation processes. To learn from experts in Green Chemistry, Corteva recently joined the ACS Green Chemistry Institute Pharmaceutical Roundtable as an affiliate. This talk will describe recent products from Corteva that have been awarded the Green Chemistry Challenge award.
