Responsibility from field to fork

Here at Lantmännen, we live off the land. It is the source of everything we produce and the basis of our entire operation. The land and what happens to it is therefore extremely important to us. Lantmännen is an agricultural cooperative that is owned by Swedish farmers. We use a large proportion of the arable land in Sweden. We also produce a lot of the food we eat and the energy that keeps us warm. As one of the largest groups in the agriculture, bioenergy and food industries in the Nordic region, Lantmännen has a responsibility and an opportunity to influence development.

 Our brief

Lantmännen emerged at the end of the 19th Century when Swedish farmers started to cooperate to organise the combined supply and transport of their produce to growing towns. Today, we are a cooperative enterprise owned and directed by 20,000 farmers. We are also an important business partner of agriculture companies. Our brief is to contribute to the profitability of our owners’ farms and maximise return on their capital in the association. At the same time, we are involved from seed to harvest - through the food on our tables, the feed to our livestock and climate smart biofuel on our roads.

Our vision

Lantmännen's contribution - today and in the future

We husband the earth's resources in a responsible way and are involved throughout the entire value chain from field to fork. Our unique business model ensures customers and consumers have sustainable products and innovative new solutions, and at the same time, it creates value for our owners and contributes to viable agriculture. Everyone who comes in contact with Lantmännen can feel secure in the knowledge that we promote viable agriculture, greener energy and a sustainable food chain on a daily basis - both today and in the future.

Via a circular approach, we protect the earth and utilise every part of our enterprise

Closing the circle and contributing to a circular economy is part of our responsibilities from field to fork. Via a circular approach, we protect the earth and utilise every part of our enterprise. For example, we convert old bread crumbs and waste from grain production into energy and biofuel. Our production sites in Järna, Sweden and Moss, Norway are heated by by-products from production.
