Environmental protection and resource management

The management of natural resources is becoming increasingly important in efforts to address issues of global food safety and food quality.

Sustainable production of human food and animal feed requires us to preserve the natural resources on which life depends: the landscape, water, soil and air. Proper stewardship of the world's limited resources is an essential part of ensuring long-term availability and sustainability.

In the field of environmental protection and resource management, our collection places a particular focus on the areas of emissions reduction, environmental planning and sustainability strategies, health-related environmental protection and the protection of ecosystems.
