Symrise is driving sustainable solutions with innovative projects for regenerative agriculture. As climate change accelerates and threatens stable agriculture, Symrise wants to make its contribution to resilient food systems. By promoting environmentally friendly cultivation methods, the company supports the regeneration of vital ecosystems. The aim is to improve soil health and help reduce the CO2 footprint of agricultural production.

Climate change is having a noticeable impact on food production and global supply chains. Regenerative agriculture offers an effective approach to reduce risks. Symrise supports the use of regenerative agricultural practices. They should have a positive impact on soil health, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the promotion of biodiversity and much more.

"Regenerative agriculture holds the key to a sustainable future for our supply chains and natural resources," says Nicolas Gribius, Global Head of Agronomy at Symrise Food & Beverage Naturals. "By working directly with farmers and food producers, we build a bridge for both sides. This helps them to advance their sustainability goals." Symrise's global agronomy team works hand in hand with farmers around the world, implementing regenerative farming techniques such as longer crop rotation, cover cropping and soil carbon sequestration. In Ecuador, for example, Symrise is working with banana farmers to improve crop fertility and reduce carbon emissions. In Madagascar, the company's vanilla project uses shade management techniques to protect the crop and takes a holistic approach to sustainability, enabling farmers to adopt more environmentally friendly practices.
