Food, taste and pleasure

The agrifood industry is undergoing a major shift: what we eat and drink is no longer just about sustenance. These products are taking center stage across a wide range of topics — most notably concerning food taste and pleasure, but also nutrition, wellbeing, environmental impact and energy consumption.

Healthcare

By 2050, our planet will be home to an estimated 9 billion people. With this population boom will come a growing focus on overall health and wellbeing — for the human population but also for the plants and animals that share our planet. And as we plan for the future, it is no longer enough to be healthy today; we need to design future-minded products and solutions that are sustainable, productive and respectful of humankind and the environment.

Industrial biotechnology

We are convinced that offering a more sustainable world to future generations requires organizations around the globe to commit to corporate social responsibility. At Lesaffre, we contribute to this goal every day by tapping into our expertise in fermentation solutions and innovating in the field of biotechnologies.

To nourish 9 billion people, in a healthy way, in 2050 by making the most of our planet’s resources is a major and unprecedented issue. We believe that fermentation is one of the most promising answers to this challenge.
