Throughout history, science-based innovation has made significant contributions to addressing these challenges.  Continuing to solve these challenges into the future will required new applications of science and new ways of working collaboratively. This presentation will feature examples of sustainable solutions from DuPont Science & Technology to address those challenges. It will emphasize how science can be applied to feeding the world, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and keeping people and the environment safe.  These examples will demonstrate key success factors, which include market-driven innovation, interaction across traditional boundaries between disciplines and new methods for collaboration.
