Even Greener - Our traits
We’re defining sustainability by a balanced set of five traits. Our Even Greener varieties score above average on these traits.
Storability
Food waste is a serious problem. Food can be wasted because it is thrown away, but also, for example, during storage. The longer we can store potatoes with high quality, the longer we can offer delicious potatoes, the less food waste there will be.
Even Greener varieties are selected to reduce the use of anti-sprouting inhibitors in cold store. They can be stored for a long period without losing external and internal qualities.
Other traits
-
Even Greener varieties use nutrients efficiently, reducing fertilizer waste and achieving a good yield and quality.
-
Even Greener varieties can tolerate dry periods well and use water more efficiently.
-
Even Greener varieties have a high level of resistances so less crop protection chemicals are needed.
-
Besides a high yield per hectare, there should be a low chance of rejection on quality issues from farm to fork.
