Preface Eating is a basic necessity of life. We are faced with major challenges in our food supply. Projections are that by 2050 we will have to supply 9 billion people with
nutritious and varied meals. In addition, food and other agricultural products must be produced in sustainable ways. This includes complying with demands from the local surroundings, such that farmers are given the respect they deserve.
Agrifirm stands ready to make a contribution to this future. Ready to support farmers in producing meat, dairy, eggs, cereals, sugar and countless other agricultural
products. Ready to develop products and services that help the arable farming,
horticulture and livestock sectors in meeting the demands of the future. The merger of Cehave Landbouwbelang and Agrifirm in 2010 created an additional opportunity in this respect. An opportunity to allow knowledge, innovations and expert
employees from both companies to reinforce each other in this domain as well. Sustainability and innovation are important pillars of Agrifirm’s strategy.
In this, the first corporate sustainability report of our new company, we demonstrate, on the basis of five links, how we specifically assume our responsibility and how we
intend to make a contribution to sustainable food production: now and in the future.
