This means supplying them with succesful varieties, adapted to the specific aspects of each area. And giving them the means to meet food needs and the new requirements from the industry of renewable biomaterials. And it also entails promoting fair regulations for agricultural exchanges, the only way forward to guarantee the right conditions for their development.

This is  why Limagrain actively supports WOAgri, World Organization for Agriculture. The group is also investing in the Foundation for Agriculture and Rurality in the World (FARM).

Agriculture at the service of Mankind

This involves making full use of all the progress achieved in knowledge to meet the food and non-food challenges of future generations.

It also means explaining that in breeding, biotechnology widens the scope of possibilities to provide plants with better protection against disease and pests, and to make better use of water resources and fertilizers, and to tolerate unfavorable conditions more easily. 

Research at the service of controlled and shared progress

This is the mission of the researchers, farmers and agronomists of Limagrain who purse their work with the constant resolve to enrich and share biodiversity, respecting all regulations. Preserving this culture of sharing invilves taking a clear stand in favor of the right balance between the protection of biotechnological inventions and the dissemination of knowledge.

This is why the Group adamantly defends the Plant Variety Certificate and has adopted the approach of: "Protecting without condiscating".

Combining economic development with respect for the environment

For a cooperative group such as Limagrain, by nature a sense of commitment can only be measured in the long-term, far-removed from fleeting fashions, at the heart of sustainable economics, combining economic development, territorial vitality, and respect for the environment. 

In order to meet the major challenge of protecting our environment, biomaterials have an important role to play. Along the numerous projects that illustrate thios commitment, one example is: biolice®, which uses cereals as a raw material to manufacture mulching film, and plastic bags and packing materials which are 100% biodegradable and compostable.
