As an agricultural cooperative, we take responsibility from field to fork. Climate & Nature is part of Lantmännen's long-term work within Agriculture of the Future – with the goal of contributing to climate-neutral agriculture by 2050. Since its inception in 2015, Climate & Nature has reduced the climate footprint of Swedish grain cultivation by up to 45 percent and continues to develop in line with new research, technology development and increased climate ambitions.

The programme currently covers wheat, durum wheat, barley, rye and oats and meets both market demand for more sustainably produced food and farmers' need for long-term solutions in the transition. Climate & Nature is based on contract cultivation between Lantmännen and affiliated farmers, with clear conditions for implementation on the farm and compensation for the work and additional costs that the transition entails.

Climate & Nature – a Nordic programme

The program started in Sweden in 2015 and has since expanded to Finland and Denmark. Today, the program is used as a common model for sustainable grain cultivation in the Nordic region. 

Concrete actions of the programme

Within Climate & Nature, cereals are grown according to defined criteria that focus on actual emission reductions in the cultivation stage, while at the same time biologisticsare many in the countryside.
