Our purpose: Feeding the future

Our purpose of 'Feeding the Future' is based on the challenge of feeding a global population that is forecast to reach nearly 10 billion people by 2050. The rapidly growing global population, increasing urbanization, a growing middle class, and changing diets will lead to increased  demand for protein, especially in emerging markets. Our ambition is to contribute to meeting growing food needs in a sustainable way. We will do this by constantly looking for innovative ways to increase the efficiency and nutritional value of our products, the productivity of our activities and those of our customers, and reduce the environmental impact of our value chains. Sustainability is not just what we aspire to do, it's what we do.
