The Impact of Seed-to-Shelf: Local School Adoption

Advantages of Agronomy

Our agronomy program is constantly expanding to new regions, new technologies, and new botanicals.

Today, the range of colour crops that we are working with includes:

colour crops, annatto, beets, gardenia, purple sweet potato, red beets, red radish, safflower, turmeric, natural blue crops

*Although these natural colour sources are not permitted in Europe for food and beverage products, they are popular in other regions of the world. As the world’s largest global colour provider, we seek to optimize botanicals in all regions.

At Sensient, it’s important for us to be engaged across the entire natural colouring value chain.

From seed technology and farming to extraction and eventually final products, the seed-to-shelf strategy we employ allows us to optimize the botanically sourced natural colouring we offer our customers.

The program has several key goals:

Seed Breeding & Genetics Icon
Agricultural R&D Icon
Seed Production Icon
Global Growing Partners Icon, Gratitude
Annatto seed pod, farming
