For sustainable agricultureSustainable agriculture is an area of global and critical importance for consumers, farmers, and the agrochemical industry in order to address the increasing global demand on the food supply. This volume highlights innovations in discovering and developing crop protection products with a focus on environmental impact and sustainability. Chapters focus on design of small molecules, development of biologicals, and environmental characterization of agrochemicals. Researchers in agrochemical as well as those in small molecule discovery and delivery will find this work useful.

Brittany M. Rauzan (Ph.D., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) is a Research Investigator at Corteva Agriscience focusing on formulation product development. Brittany has authored 7 external publications and 8 conference presentations spanning a diverse range of topics from kinetics, 3D/4D printing, and agrochemical formulations. She is actively involved with the Indiana American Chemical Society (ACS) Local Section and serves as a coordinator for Chemists Celebrate EarthWeek (CCEW). In 2019, she was elected as Alternate Councilor for the ACS AGRO Division. Beth A. Lorsbach (Ph.D., University of California, Davis) is the Global Leader Small Molecule Discovery and Development (SMDD) at Corteva Agriscience and is responsible for driving end to end process chemistry and chemical engineering solutions for the development, launch and long-term support of all discovery and development phase pipeline molecules and currently manufactured active ingredients (a.i.s), through both internal and external synthesis and manufacturing. She also provides technical, personnel, and organizational management of the chemistry functional groups within SMDD whose focus is to design building blocks, routes, new hits, actives, and leads with sustainable attributes. Beth has authored over 94 patent applications, 21 external publications, and 28 conference presentations. She was recognized in 2009 as a finalist for Indy's Best and Brightest Award, received the 2015 Rising Star Award from the American Chemical Society (ACS), and recently was named a 2019 ACS Fellow.
