Our History

Bioscience Legacy

In 2021, IFF brought together the combined biotechnology and agricultural expertise of Genencor, Danisco, DuPont, and IFF to form a biotechnology powerhouse. This merger marked the beginning of a new era, where innovation and collaboration became the cornerstones of our mission:  Working with partners to deliver microbial and enzymatic solutions to protect and nourish crops.

With a long history of using innovative biotech solutions, we have consistently addressed challenges across a range of consumer markets. From human nutrition to animal nutrition, our solutions have made a significant impact, improving lives and promoting health.  We are now bringing that same innovative science and partnering skillset to agriculture.

Our Mission

Biological Breakthroughs

Our expertise doesn’t stop there. We leverage our deep knowledge in improving microbes as actives and production systems to tackle the pressing challenges of sustainable agriculture. By enhancing microbial efficiency and effectiveness, we can help support agricultural systems while exploring alternatives to traditional pesticides.

This is our story, a journey of innovation, collaboration, and a relentless pursuit of solutions that make a difference. Join us as we continue to push the boundaries of biotechnology for a better future.
