Seed Factory 🏗️ Episode 5 – Renewable energies and sustainability Modernization
- 🌿 Reducing environmental impact: an industrial priority : We are moving decisively toward a more efficient and responsible industry.
- 🔋 Measure to manage better: we’ve implemented a supervision system to closely monitor our energy consumption, especially on dryers.
- ♻️ Substitute rather than compensate: we’re working to replace natural gas with biosourced gas from methanization.
- 🌱 Treat differently: our R&D teams are actively exploring natural alternatives to chemical seed treatment, particularly plant-based solutions.
These actions are part of a broader agroecological approach, driven by our industrial sites in close collaboration with local stakeholders.
🎥 In this new episode, hear from Bertrand Despagnet and Anne Marie Tachéé as they explain how we work daily to produce better with less environmental impact.
📢 How can we combine industrial innovation, energy efficiency, and on-the-ground requirements?
📲 Watch the video and see how we’re shaping the future of seed production!

In 2026, the R&D department has structured a network of experimental farms dedicated to regenerative agriculture research. Why set up experimental farms? Regenerative agriculture relies on a holistic, farm-scale approach to crop rotations and long-term planning. However, traditional R&D methods, based on field-scale trials conducted over a single growing season, do not allow for a […]
Can we predict a variety’s performance… before it’s ever been observed in the field? That’s one of the challenges we’re tackling at MAS Seeds. With Industry 4.0 tools, our approach to variety selection is evolving in a meaningful way: 🌱 Our maize and sunflower varieties are now better described and documented through advanced statistical analysis. […]
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 […]
