Why soil and nutrition are important 

Earth’s resources are limited. And they have to meet the needs of the world’s ever-growing population. A population that relies on a healthy environment and sufficient food. Changes in climate conditions add to the challenge. The agricultural methods used to produce food today may no longer work in the future.

In order to continue providing Swiss consumers with healthy, high-quality food in the future, the agricultural industry must be prepared to adopt broad-based, multifaceted solutions. These include breeding site-appropriate plant varieties, developing alternative plant-protection measures and ensuring that farmers can continue their professional development. Resource-efficiency must be encouraged and biodiversity protected. This is precisely where the fenaco cooperative comes in with its investments in research and technology and its advisory services. And it is just as important to use the food that is produced for its intended purpose and to prevent food waste.
