Supporting people and communities
We believe in empowering the local communities we’re part of, ranging from helping schools to community development projects and strengthening local industries by developing sustainable sources of feed raw materials. Our policies are designed to create economic value that also benefits society. In many developing regions, smallholder farmers rely on basic agricultural and aquaculture methods. One of the most pressing global challenges is to improve the productivity and sustainability to help feed a growing population. That’s why we collaborate with local governments, NGOs, universities, and other companies, sharing knowledge and expertise to drive meaningful change.
