Lantmännen is launching the Climate & Nature cultivation programme as a first overall step towards more sustainable grain farming. By connecting Kungsörnen's flour products, contract cultivation of measures such as larch plots, sustainable plant nutrients, precision farming and eco-driving begins, resulting in approximately 20 percent lower climate impact compared to average conventional wheat cultivation in Sweden.

After five years, the programme is developed with additional climate and biodiversity measures. Fossil-free fuel and flowering zones are introduced, and the overall climate impact is further reduced to around 30 per cent compared to the reference year 2015.  

In 2020, the range of Climate & Nature-connected products will be expanded to also include AXA'siconic oatmeal and Kungsörnen's Pannkakor.

The program expands geographically as "Ilmasto & Luonto" introducesit to farmers in Finland through contractcultivation of Finnish rye.  

Commitment to the programme in Sweden is increasing and Paulig is joining as a partner. Cereals grown according to Climate & Nature are now also used in tortillas, which provides the opportunity to reduce the climate impact in new product categories.

Anumber of KRAFFT products are joining the programme, which means that horse feed will also be part of the cultivation programme. 

One of the program's biggest development steps is taken when fossil-free plant nutrients are introduced as a climatemeasure. This makes it possible to achieve up to 45 percent lower climate impact compared to 2015. 

The Vaasan brand connects the first consumer products in Finland to Climate & Nature and enables a broader establishment of the program in the Finnish market.  

The programme in Sweden is being strengthened with new criteria for biodiversity, such as buffer zones, legume-rich grasslands and bird fields.  First fossil-free harvest: a historic step is taken when the first fossil-free harvest is harvested within the framework of the programme.

Klimat & Natur celebrates its 10th anniversary and celebrates a decade of innovation and sustainable development. Coop joins with its product "Coop oatmeal" and  both Korvbrödsbagarn and Hatting are adapting, which means that even more products grown with a lower climate impact are available on the shelf. From vision to reality – together we have taken big steps towards the agriculture of the future!    

McDonald's is the first Finnish partner to join the program, which also marks the start of contracted wheat cultivation in Finland. Wheat that will cover the need for all Big Mac breads for the Finnish market.  

Climate & Nature is certified through a third-party system that ensures that both cultivation measures and climate calculations meet independently audited requirements, which strengthens the transparency and credibility of the program.
