Adapting to Changes
Adapting to Changes
Change is a constant, and our growers understand this better than anyone. Adapting to these changes is at the heart of their operations. However, the challenges we face today ranging from unpredictable weather to evolving legislation and shifting societal expectations are more intense and frequent than ever before.
Our Future Proof Farming program is designed to support and empower our growers as they transition towards resilient, sustainable farming practices.
A Farmer-Centered Approach
Our Future Proof Farming program is a comprehensive framework developed in collaboration with our growers and agricultural experts, aligned with international standards.
Our Future Proof Farming program is a comprehensive framework developed in collaboration with our growers and agricultural experts, aligned with international standards.
Based on the SAI Regen Ag framework, our program promotes an outcome-based approach to farming that enhances soil health, biodiversity, climate resilience, and water resources while supporting business development. Farmers can choose practices that best suit their needs to achieve prioritized outcomes.
Global Framework, Local Adaptation
While our framework is globally recognized, it is flexible enough to be tailored to the specific needs of farmers in different regions, including the Netherlands, France, Belgium, and Germany. This ensures that our approach is both globally informed and locally relevant.
• Improved Soil Health: By increasing soil organic matter and promoting beneficial organisms, we enhance nutrient availability, water retention, and reduce soil erosion.
• Increased Crop Resilience: Practices like crop diversity and minimal soil disturbance help crops withstand climate change, variable weather, and pest pressures.
• Higher Yield and Quality: Optimizing water use and enhancing biodiversity leads to better crop yields and quality.
• Water Conservation: Precision irrigation and water-saving techniques reduce water consumption, especially in stressed regions.
• Biodiversity Preservation: Protecting and restoring natural habitats supports beneficial organisms and wildlife conservation.
• Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Sustainable practices help lower emissions, contributing to climate change mitigation.
• Enhanced Farm Resilience: Improved soil health, water efficiency, and biodiversity make farms more resilient to climate and regulatory changes.
• Cost Savings: Reducing reliance on synthetic chemicals can lower input costs.
• Environmental Stewardship: Sustainable practices demonstrate a commitment to conserving natural resources.
• Knowledge Sharing and Collaboration: Partnering with third-party experts, we build and share best practices across regions, accelerating the transition to sustainable farming.
Join us in our mission to create a sustainable future. Together, we can make a difference, ensuring that our farms are resilient, productive, and environmentally friendly for generations to come.
Caring for nature, it’s in our DNA
