What we offer:
- Better nutrient use efficiency
- More sustainable solutions for crop protection and plant nutrition products
- Bio-based raw materials that do not compete with food production

Documented Low Footprints through Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs)
Independent, third party Life Cycle Assessments, in which some of Borregaard’s products were compared with competing synthetic alternatives, confirm that our products provide better environmental performance than the alternatives in almost all environmental categories.
Supporting the United Nations' Sustainability Development Goals
Borregaard's bio-based solutions for agriculture support the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals numbers 2 and 13; 'Zero hunger' and 'Climate action'. We help farmers produce more food by using efficient, environmentally friendly products and solutions that have a lower carbon footprint than synthetic alternatives. This, in turn, contributes to more sustainable agriculture.
