   Syngenta will stop spraying the field adjacent to the school until 2009, Cox continued, "in good faith, and to allow for a calming period for science-based discussion to continue."

   "As an agricultural company, we know the importance of strong roots, and ours are here in the Twin Cities area," said Jeff Cox, President, NAFTA Seeds, Syngenta."Syngenta Seeds continues to grow, and this is an important step to improve communication and efficiency so we can build a better future for our company and for the customers we serve."Syngenta plans to lease the space from Opus, which is responsible for both the construction and architecture of the building.It will feature energy-saving and environmentally-friendly elements, plus employee-centered amenities including a cafeteria, fitness facilities and locker rooms. In keeping with the company's agronomic roots, Syngenta required the headquarters be comfortable and open, while still featuring technology and cutting-edge "green" elements.For example, the open design will allow direct access to sunlight."Opus and 20 Below Studio worked with us to ensure the design supports the culture of Syngenta Seeds, and set an example of sustainable architecture," Cox explained.

   Syngenta Seeds President Says Productivity Challenge Solvable
   
   Des Moines, Iowa, October 19, 2007 â€" Syngenta Seeds U.S. president Jeff Cox said today he believes the agriculture industry can adequately feed the world and support biofuel markets by developing new technologies and improving value chain collaboration.Cox addressed a group of international agriculture and food industry experts and policy leaders at the 2007 Norman E. Borlaug International Symposium in Des Moines.
   
   "Some have quickly characterized a ‘food versus fuel' debate for agriculture but I don't see it that way.The agriculture productivity challenge is eminently solvable through technology and collaboration," Cox said.
   
   "Yield increases in corn since the Green Revolution have been mind-boggling.And yet, some experts say corn yields can double over the next 20 years to reach 300 bushels per acre."
   
   Cox cited advanced plant breeding with molecular markers as a reason new higher-yielding seed is coming to market faster than ever."Biotechnology traits are now moving to second generation and stacked products that unleash genetic potential of the seed."
   
   Cox said improved water use is a timely example of how rapid implementation of technology is helping agriculture meet the challenge of producing more while using less."In the U.S. and Latin America, we are extensively testing technology to improve the corn plant's use of water, and yield results are consistently positive."He noted that Syngenta recently introduced a "tropical" sugar beet in India that could efficiently produce sugar for food and biofuel use with one-fifth the water requirements of sugar cane that is currently grown in the equatorial region.
