Feeding the future
Sustainability is more than just a word to us. Barenbrug believes true gain lies in sustainable management and responsible decisions. The key to a prosperous future? Long-term commitment!
'It's my way of contributing to greater sustainability in the dairy and food sectors.'
Reduce energy
How can we reduce energy use, help feed the world, bring out the best in our people and make a difference to the less fortunate of this world? These questions are top of mind for us as we do business. By offering sustainable turf and forage solutions we strive to make the world a better place.
Resources
Imagine the sun beating down on the land, insects ruining the harvest, cold weather preventing the grass from recovering in time for the golf season, ten billion people to feed while fossil fuels are running out. This is where we love to step in. Responsible management of our scarce resources requires
greater efficiency. The good news? Grass offers more solutions than you might think. This is why we invent products that reduce the use of water, fertilisers and energy. Sustainable answers for compelling issues.
Circular use
As a facilitator of sustainable solutions, we cherish the world around us. Even the smallest choices can have an immense impact. This is why we take a circular approach to paper use and invest in sustainable machines to save water. In the US, we are one of the first largest seed companies to generate green energy with our state of the art solar panels.
Future proof
To make responsible decisions for generations to come, we consult our Young Professional Advisory Committee. Our young employees advise the board on important topics like health, safety, innovation, global trends and HR management. Everything that matters to the following generations. Fresh ideas, new perspectives, sustainable goals: together, we develop sustainable strategies for happy employees, happy users and our beautiful world.

Together, we make the world a better place.
