Transforming scientific innovation into industrial impact 🔬

At Boortmalt, process innovation is an important part of how we improve and prepare for the future. Our Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) with the University of Nottingham, part-funded by Innovate UK, brought together expertise from different fields to address real industrial challenges.

At our final KTP meeting, we reflected on successful results and novel developments in both product and process innovation. The relationship has grown beyond the initial project and continues to create opportunities to exchange ideas and explore new approaches.

🤝 Boortmalt’s international footprint helps us connect talented people and ideas across borders. Thank you to the University of Nottingham and Innovate UK for being part of this journey.

🇧🇪 A few weeks ago, Boortmalt brought together six CEOs from leading Belgian breweries and Belgian farmers for an open discussion on the sustainable future of Belgian b**r.

The session began with the EY Four Futures experience, which presented four climate scenarios illustrating how the world could look in 30 years, ranging from limited climate action to meaningful mitigation efforts. The experience was eye-opening for all of us and fed the discussions we had afterwards.

We concluded that Belgian brewers have the tools to mitigate climate change. A major topic we reflected on was the transition from conventionally farmed barley to regeneratively farmed barley. Farmers are ready to accelerate this shift, and the discussion highlighted that close collaboration and mutual trust are essential to building a strong foundation for sustainable Belgian b**rs.

Thank you to the Belgian brewers for their openness and willingness to embrace green solutions through collaboration and to EY for this immersive experience.

🇬🇧 🌾 Boortmalt attended the AB InBev event at Rougham Estate near Bury St Edmunds.

Our Master of Malt, Oliver Rubinstein, delivered an insightful presentation on the importance of soil health, both in preserving moisture during drought and in reducing soil and nutrient runoff during heavy rainfall. He also demonstrated in the field how regenerative farming practices enable soils to retain water for extended periods, supporting the growth of our spring barley.

A convivial lunch provided an excellent opportunity to exchange views on sustainability with some of our team members, fellow maltsters, local politicians, government representatives and farmers.

Many thanks to the farmers, AB InBev and all partners who contributed to this successful event!

🇪🇸 Our Spanish teams visited Buenavista Farm in Valladolid with the Agricultura Regenerativa, hosted by Félix del Villar.

🌱 In total, the Asociación de Agricultura Regenerativa has trained more than 25,000 people in regenerative agriculture since 2010. This initiative aligns with Boortmalt’s ambition to support Spanish farmers in their transition towards regenerative practices.

👩🏻‍🌾👨🏽‍🌾 During the visit, we discussed current challenges and the long‑term commitment of farmers working to protect soil health. To support clarity and avoid greenwashing, CREAF and the Asociación de Agricultura Regenerativa have defined 10 guiding principles, including water care, biodiversity, no‑tillage, crop rotation, reduced chemical inputs (excluding GMOs and gene‑edited crops), and stronger territorial links. In total, over 130 farms are following these criteria across Spain.

Thank you again to our hosts for this visit!

Our team had the pleasure of attending

One clear takeaway: the strong and continued rise of the healthy snacking trend 💪

📈Across the industry, we see growing demand for products that are high in fibre and protein, with reduced salt, improved digestibility, and increasingly cleaner, more natural ingredient lists.

👉 These developments fully confirm the strategic direction of Boortmalt in providing more natural and functional food ingredient solutions. They also reinforce the positioning of Maltchies, our malt-based snack brand, developed in line with these consumer expectations.

🤝 We also met several familiar faces from our brewing industry, including Lallemand Brewing, who are also exploring similar opportunities in food applications.

Overall, SNACKEX confirmed that malt-based ingredients have a strong role to play in the future of healthier snacking, and we are excited about what comes next!
