FOSTERING CONNECTIONS Our connection to the Earth Biodiversity Promoting positive agricultural practices to safeguard biodiversity, protect our planet’s future, and maximise secure food supply. Our goal is to draw up a biodiversity strategy that reduces our impact and manages our dependencies – and as a result, makes our farming systems more resilient to the vagaries of the climate. The scope of this strategy spans our entire value chain, at every level, covering the regions where the Cooperative and its subsidiaries are active, all VIVESCIA Industries sites, and our raw materials supply chains.
