SUSTAINABILITY
Amidst increasing pressure on agricultural production and green spaces, the imperative for sustainable solutions has never been more urgent. As climate extremes become more common, we must not only adapt but make meaningful contributions to reducing our environmental footprint. With a globally integrated value chain, DLF, a quiet giant in the world of turf and forage seed, is championing a sustainable path forward. From reducing global emissions to enhancing biodiversity, we are pioneering new approaches and driving positive change across the agricultural landscape through science.
We believe in harnessing the power of innovation to address global challenges. Through relentless plant breeding, we've developed varieties that are more disease-resistant, drought tolerant and nutrient-efficient, on top of the superior quality that DLF products are known for. These genetic improvements ripple across our value chain, from production fields to the glass of milk on your table. At DLF, we strive to deliver sustainable seed solutions that enhance productivity, promote environmental stewardship, and preserve genetic diversity. With DLF, you're not just investing in seeds; you're investing in a greener, more sustainable future. Together, we can enrich our land and livestock, sequester carbon, reduce emissions in the supply chain, and pave the way for a brighter tomorrow. Join us in seeding a greener future today.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY IS ROOTED IN OUR BUSINESS
We help reduce global emissions by developing grasses and legumes with deeper rooting systems that can absorb and store higher quantities of carbon dioxide.
We help reduce dairy and livestock methane emissions (50% of agriculture’s carbon footprint) by developing forages that are easier to digest.
We help reduce nitrous oxide emissions caused by surplus nitrogen in the soil (33% of agriculture’s carbon footprint) by developing forages with a larger root mass for greater nitrogen uptake, and grass that remains active for longer periods.
We help preserve ecosystems by developing grasses and legumes that require less water, fertilizers and chemicals.
We help advance crop production by developing higher yielding forage and turf varieties that are more tolerant of climate changes and extreme weather.
We help promote biodiversity by developing grasses and legumes that perform well with other species, where each variety contributes unique benefits and does not outcompete the other species.
