Climate change impacts the global agriculture and food systems in multiple ways-reducing yield and earnings, creating distribution inefficiencies, reducing food quality, safety and degrading nutritional value. Agribusiness and food companies face the additional challenge of making food available for the extra 2 billion people by 2050.

To meet these challenges, companies are increasingly implementing new technologies and sustainability practices to reduce their impact on the planet and protect people. Wipro's integrated sustainability solutions help organizations build equitable and resilient food systems that create a positive impact on farmers, consumers, communities and the planet.
