Our Ethos: Growing More, From Less

Today, there are many food security and sustainability challenges facing agriculture and the food production system. These challenges are immense. Take the global population; it currently stands at 8.2 billion but is expected to grow to 10 billion by 2050.

Climate change is undeniably causing adverse and unpredictable growing conditions, as are the increasing limitations on natural resources, such as water. In addition, land available for agriculture is simply becoming scarcer.

At Elsoms, our ethos of ‘grow more from less’ is driven by the power of plants to solve the huge challenges of feeding the world. We’re tackling these challenges through innovative breeding programmes, strong global partnerships, and the expertise of our specialist team.

By developing high-yield, low-chemical input seeds we can support more sustainable farming. We’re minimising chemical and fertiliser dependency by aiding responsible practices. And we offer the UK’s widest choice of high-yield, low-input seeds bred specifically to perform in local growing conditions.

Collectively and individually, ‘grow more from less’ has never been more relevant wherever you farm in the world.
