KWS – Vision & Mission

Our passion for plants sustains farming, food and planet

We are convinced that our specialization in plant breeding and seed production makes a difference. We breed and research with passion - and thus makes an important contribution across the entire agricultural production. This impactful work goes beyond increased yields: Through varieties with relevant characteristics such as drought resistance or reduced plant protection requirements, we create solutions and support agriculture in successfully addressing the challenges of the coming years.

KWS seeds are at the very start of the food chain. We bring our expertise and passion forward into the entire farming value chain and beyond. We think in terms of our customers and their customers: Which variety properties are relevant for further processing of the crop and the final product and how can plant breeding already enable this? We think in terms of our planet: With focus on the reduction of inputs such as crop protection products or water, innovations for alternative energies and, of course, the efficient use of available land represent a contribution to sustainable agriculture of the future.

With our services (via consulting and digital tools), we help farmers get the most out of our seeds on healthy soils. Our broad and growing portfolio of crops and vegetables provides a foundation for preserving biodiversity in the fields. Through our daily work, we make an important contribution to the supply of good food to our growing world population. And that is what we are proud of.
