Boosting Food Production and Farm Incomes: Our Partnership with Germinal UK

Reducing Climate Risk

Agriculture is at a crossroads—and change is essential. Food security is one of the greatest global challenges we face, and as the population grows, the pressure on food production systems only intensifies. Climate change is already disrupting agriculture with more frequent droughts, heavy rainfall, and extreme temperatures. Soil degradation and compaction, along with the loss of organic carbon, threaten the health of our soils—and our ability to farm them in the future.

How Do We Build a Sustainable Food System?

To build resilient food production systems, grassland management must evolve. Farmers play a pivotal role in this transformation as stewards of grasslands.

Climate-smart grassland management is an approach that supports the shift to sustainable food production systems. Reducing emissions, protecting soil health and water quality, and improving biodiversity are vital for future generations.

Germinal is helping agriculture respond to these impacts and accelerate access to practical adaptation solutions, and we provide you with unlimited access to this journey. Climate-smart strategies ensure that farms can remain profitable and resilient while contributing to global efforts to combat climate change.

Science Supporting Agriculture

Plant breeding is fundamental because the answers are there in new traits. Enhanced varieties with pest and disease resistance, higher yields, and resilience to climate stress are key to optimising production, with plant genomics paving the way to a more sustainable future.

Germinal’s investment in research continues to focus on developing new climate-smart technologies. Farmers are already adopting innovative practices to grow the right crops in the right places, enhancing efficiencies on their land.

As responsible businesses within the food chain, we can all contribute and take positive steps to ensure agriculture remains a strong natural resource and legacy for future generations.

Closing Thought:

Together with Germinal, we’re committed to building agriculture that’s fit for the future—profitable, sustainable, and resilient.
