Lantmännen is an agricultural cooperative and Northern Europe’s leader in agriculture, machinery, bioenergy and food products.
About the research foundation
The Lantmännen Research Foundation invests up to SEK 25 million annually in research at colleges, universities and institutes, both nationally and internationally. The Foundation supports research that builds knowledge through the chain from farm to fork within the three focus areas Agriculture and Machinery, Food and Health, and Bioenergy and Green Materials.
We believe that collaboration is a key factor in successfully tackling today's challenges. Therefore, applicants are welcome to contact us to discuss the possibilities of using Lantmännen's products, side streams, trial sites and other resources in the projects that are planned.
Focus areas and strategic objectives
We support research within three focus areas: Agriculture and machinery, Food and health, and Bioenergy and green materials. The objectives are:
- An agricultural sector in top class with increasing productivity and an aim to be climate neutral 2050.
- Wholesome and sustainable foods based on grains and other plant-based commodities.
- A biobased society in which the potentials from the agricultural sector are made use of/utilized.
Project in focus
The projects that are granted funding under the 2025 open call will be presented here.
Our organisation
All applications are assessed by one of three committees, one for each focus area. After the committees’ assessments the Board of Directors decides on funding. Both the Board and assessment committees are composed of farmers, Lantmännen staff and scientific experts. The composition of the groups ensures that the relevance for agriculture, the scientific quality and the business potential of projects are considered when applications are evaluated.
