Lesaffre International

9 billion inhabitants in 2050, that's tomorrow. Humanity, that is to say each of us, will face an unprecedented challenge in history: how to manage to feed everyone as healthily as possible, to preserve our health and quality of life, while resources to produce our food become scarcer or of lower quality, polluted or depleted? The challenge is colossal, complex, and urgent. Are we ready to take it on? For centuries, fermentation has been used all over the world: to fight waste, to preserve our food, to give it flavor... And for more than 170 years, at Lesaffre, we have been working with passion and expertise on its amazing properties. We believe that fermentation is one of the most promising answers to feeding 9 billion people in a safer, healthier, and more sustainable way. We have the ambition to be one of the leaders of the fermentation movement. Today, microorganisms and ingredients constitute a new territory to explore, to clear, and exciting frontiers to cross. Faced with such challenges, we cannot move forward alone. It is through the passion and commitment of our teams that we nurture our collaborations. Everywhere in the world, locally, in our factories, application and research centers, our offices... our men and women put their energy and enthusiasm into building solid and trusting partnerships to innovate, develop, train and move forward together. It is together with our clients, partners, researchers, citizens that every day, we reveal the infinite potential of microorganisms. Therein lies the key to success.
