Where the crops of the future are developed

At Lantmännen's Future Farm Svalöv there is a groundbreaking plant for plant breeding where new technology opens up for fast and precise plant breeding. Through the use of new tailor-made cultivation chambers and a wide range of methods in the laboratory, we get unique conditions to develop plant varieties that live up to the requirements and wishes of the future of agriculture and food. The work in the chamber and in the laboratory is then supplemented with testing of the varieties under field conditions. The varieties are then propagated in volumes that can be sold as seed.

Svalöv also has a modern farm where various initiatives within Lantmännen's Future Agriculture programme are being developed and tested in practice.

Plant Breeding for Agriculture of the Future

There are great demands on agriculture in the future, it must be climate neutral, have minimal impact on the environment and at the same time provide good yield and quality. With plant breeding, we can produce varieties with new and improved characteristics. For example, it can be varieties that give higher yields with less inputs. Plants that are more efficient in absorbing nutrients and that have increased disease resistance.
