Energy

The Energy Sector is Sweden’s largest producer of bioenergy products.

Food

The Food Sector develops, processes and markets products that include flour, breakfast foods, pasta, frozen and fresh bread, crispbread and ready-to-eat meals.

One big family

Lantmännen is an agricultural cooperative founded on the deep knowledge our farmers have aquired over generations. We make farming thrive and work together to take responsibility from field to fork.

From field to fork

From our core farming business, through the value chain, from field to fork, we are involved in every step from sowing to harvesting; to the food on our tables, feed for our livestock and climate –smart biofuels.

Locally and globally

Owned by Swedish farmers, Sweden is our base with the Baltic Sea area as our expanded domestic market. We have a strong international presence, and no matter which country and location we operate in, we always take the same responsibility.

Research for the future

We pursue research and invest in innovation for tomorrow’s agriculture, bioenergy and foods of the future. Innovations are crucial if we are to resolve the challenges of today and tomorrow, which is why Lantmännen also has its own research foundation.

Look for the sprout

You´ll find the Lantmännen sprout on our packaging. The products may be different, but everyone can feel safe that we also minimise impact on climate and people. If you find the sprout on a packet, you can be sure what’s inside is Good Food from Lantmännen.

Producing meat requires a lot of resources. Therefore, we take responsibility by developing new crops rich in plantbased proteins as well as developing feed concepts for a sustainable future livestock production. We drive the development of feed for Swedish animals and soils, with less impact on the environment.

Climate-friendly mushroom

Lantmännen currently offers several alternative sources of protein, such as beans grown on Öland and bean pasta that has a higher protein content than ordinary pasta. We are also developing a mushroom with a high protein content that can act as a good, green alternative. We hope to offer it in the supermarkets soon!

New protein crops

We are further developing more plantbased sources of protein which should primarly replace today’s meat consumption that consists of non-sustainable imported meat. For example the development of new types of crops cultivated in Sweden, bean dishes from GoGreen and research on ”protein mushrooms”.

We drive the development of sustainable feed for Swedish animals, with less impact on the environment.

Climate-smart feed

Lantmännen offers feed products with good composition and low climate impact. Through our extensive efforts to optimise feed, we have succeeded in developing new, climate-smart feed concepts that reduce the climate impact by up to 30%.

Milk from grass and by-products

Through the AquaAgri collaborative project, we are also looking at how we can use other nutrient-rich waste products for feed instead of grain, while maintaining the yield. Something that could contribute to more food for a growing global population.

Our healthy legumes

Right now, Lantmännen is examining the possibility of using seeds from lupins and red clover, one of Sweden’s most-grown legumes, as good, healthy ingredients in food.

Red clover in particular is said to have many health benefits. They are both rich in protein and fibre and low in calories. Seeds are also gluten-free and easy to grow organically, satisfying the increased demand from consumers today for food that meets special dietary requirements.

Skywalker - the rapeseed of the future

Lantmännen’s plant breeders are currently looking into adapted rapeseed oils that have both better functionality and greater added value for health. A rapeseed variety with the working name of Skywalker has a particularly good balance between the essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6, making it easier for the body to absorb omega-3.

As well as improvements to rapeseed oil, research is also underway all over the world, including in Sweden, into the use of rapeseed as food. Rapeseed cake has been shown to have a very high protein content. A new, green addition to your cooking?

Skywalker will be grown in a relatively small area and is clearly of interest for customers who want a vegetable oil with a health profile adapted to e.g. special dietary requirements and children’s food
