Through its activities, Limagrain participates in the future of agriculture. Its commitments to sustainable agriculture meet the requirements of economic efficiency, social and territorial viability, and respect for the environment. This vision of sustainable development is based on Limagrain's daily practices. The Group believes that the two levers that will enable it to meet agricultural challenges are innovation and regulation.

For Limagrain, from earth to life implies contributing, through innovation, to agricultural production that is efficient both economically and ecologically. This means producing sustainably, more and better, using knowledge from life sciences to meet food and plant chemistry challenges.

And for Limagrain, from earth to life is synonymous with regulation, in order to defend the future of family agricultural production, a source of viability and territorial diversity.

It means striving to insure that all farmers have access to high-performance seeds and production resources that are suited to their needs.
