Climate & Nature

Climate & Nature is Lantmännen's program for the agriculture of the future and contains concrete measures that benefit biodiversity and reduce climate impact.

In Lantmännen's Climate & Nature for Future Agriculture cultivation programme, grain is grown according to criteria that reduce climate impact and benefit biodiversity.

With Climate & Nature, we drive development, meet market demand for sustainably produced food and create opportunities for farmers to reduce the climate and environmental impact of farming.

Since 2015, the products from the cultivation program have reduced the climate footprint by up to 45 percent and the cultivation today includes wheat, barley, rye and oats.

Connected products

As the program grows and expands, more and more products can also be connected to Climate & Nature. The labelling on our products means that all the grain volume used in the production has been contracted according to Climate & Nature.

Kungsörnen

In connection with the launch of the program, Kungsörnen's range of flour products was joined with the motto that it should not have to be difficult or expensive to choose sustainable products.

AXA

Since 2020, you can contribute to the transition by choosing AXA's iconic oatmeal.

Golden eagle pancakes

That same year, the family's favorite, pancakes from Kungsörnen, became part of the program and with it they got a reducedCO2 footprint by up to 23% per served portion of pancakes.

Krafft

In the autumn of 2022, KRAFFT made sure that horses can also contribute to the agriculture of the future. KRAFFT's largest products GROOV Original and GROOV Protein are now part of the program.

Korvbrödsbagaren

In 2024, large parts of Korvbrödsbagarn's, Hatting's and Bonjour's product ranges were joined to the cultivation program.

Kungsörnen & AXA

Kungsörnen and AXA are upgrading their Climate & Nature range to include the criterion of fossil-free plant nutrients, which means that we, together with affiliated farmers, can grow wheat and oats with as much as 45% lower climate impact.

There is a desire to change agriculture and I speak for many of my colleagues, but we need help to create economic sustainability as well. There are small margins in agriculture.

Climate & Nature Partnerships

The Climate & Nature cultivation programme is an important initiative for concretising sustainability strategies, achieving ambitious climate goals and benefiting biodiversity. Lantmännen is working with partnerships to develop and scale up the cultivation program.

Polarbröd

In 2015, Lantmännen started growing wheat according to Climate & Nature, and Polarbröd was involved from the start. As the first industrial bakery to join the cultivation program, they showed that sustainability is high on the agenda. For Polarbröd, Climate & Nature means both reduced climate impact and benefited biodiversity; But the cultivation program also serves as a forum for knowledge sharing.
