Agrologica
Seeds for the future of organic farming
About us
Agrologica specializes in the development of organic cereals. For decades, we have been focusing our efforts towards the development of cereal varieties and cultivation methods which through organic means can achieve the optimal quality for both farmers, bakers and consumers. Our best cereal varieties are currently being multiplied to enable distribution for the Danish and foreign markets in the upcoming years.
Agrologica participates and various research and development projects, where we deeply investigate key areas within the field of organic agriculture. Several of our projects deal with the development of healthier wheat varieties in relation to parameters like gluten allergy, diabetes, obesity and cancer to name a few. Other projects focus more on the plants' resistances against diseases like common bunt or nematode infections. Furthermore, we have recently been focusing a lot on baking or milling quality of cereals. Our many years of experience in these areas have made us some of the best in Europe
