What does the mention “Act for Regenerative Agriculture” on our seed bags mean?
You may have noticed the mention “Act for Regenerative Agriculture” displayed on MAS Seeds seed bags of maize.This wording aims to make visible, directly on our products, our commitment in favor of regenerative agriculture.
Why talk about regenerative agriculture today?
For over fifteen years, farmers have faced stagnant and unstable yields in many agricultural regions.
The progressive degradation of soils, combined with the intensifying effects of climate change, is weakening production systems.
Faced with these realities, MAS Seeds has chosen regenerative agriculture, based on a strong conviction: resilient production systems rely on healthy soils.
Regenerative Agriculture at MAS Seeds
At MAS Seeds, regenerative agriculture is a core agronomic framework shared by our teams.
It is based on three complementary levers:
- Maintaining a positive humus balance to improve organic matter content, fertility, water retention, and carbon sequestration.
- Covering the soil year-round to protect it from erosion and promote biological activity,
- Limiting mechanical tillage to preserve its structure and natural function,
👉 For farmers, regenerative agriculture contributes to more fertile and better‑protected soils, greater resilience to water stress, as well as time savings and reduced input use.
A commitment deployed across the entire value chain
The “Act for Regenerative Agriculture” mention on our bags reflects a concrete commitment, implemented at every stage of the MAS Seeds value chain:
