Agriculture is Changing
…towards a better one that will not degrade our natural resources and compromise future generation’s food production.
At MAS Seeds this principle is in the core of everything we do: We develop and produce high performing corn and sunflower varieties, and provide a diversified crop portfolio, seed applied solutions and digital services that contributes to sustainable agriculture.
Our purpose is to Act Together for a Changing Agriculture
We Act Together
- With our teams in all departments and with our cooperative roots to develop products and solution
- With our partners, distributors and farmers to test and implement these solutions to answer the needs of a changing agriculture
Our Initiatives
We believe there are three key initiatives we feel will help us help future proof agriculture:
- Agroecological transition requires a change of today’s agricultural model to increase production efficiency, substitute inputs or even to redesign an agricultural system towards a less industrialised one.
- Farm sustainability means that we meet the needs of today’s population without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs – environmentally, socially, and economically.
- Agriculture can transition from CO2 emitter to CO2 capturer by changing today’s model towards an agroecological one, starting with simpler measures: using high carbon capturing crops, diversifying crop rotations, integrating cultivation practices like relay cropping, cover crops, conservation tillage, management of nitrogen-based fertilisers and green manures.
We Act Together for
Agroecological transition
- Diversifying crop rotations
- Promoting sustainable water management
- Reducing chemical inputs
- Conserving soil fertility

Using land as carbon sinks
MAS Seeds create genetics and agro-services to help our customers improve their production and to face an increasingly difficult climatic and economic environment:
GREEN+ Silage Maize
The no.1 objective of cattle breeders in Europe – Harvest at the right time to optimize quality and conservation in the silo.
Harvesting between 32-35% of dry matter is the good compromise between yield, feed value and quality of conservation.
