Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in agriculture. In collaboration with various user groups, we therefore produce mixtures that create a better balance between production, nature, and the environment for farmers. These mixtures are used for field margins, FAB margins, and CAP greening.

FAB stands for Functional AgroBiodiversity and is an important part of agricultural sustainability. The aim of FAB margins is to stimulate biodiversity around fields, which has a beneficial effect on the main crop. There are different types of FAB margins, each with a different function. Examples of functions include natural pest control and improving water quality. This can increase production in a natural way.
