Research turned
into reality
Facing climate change, agriculture needs a new vision. HelEx and AGRI4POL are European research projects identifying genetic strategies to adapt sunflower crops to a shifting environment: improving the crop’s environmental footprint and ensuring its long-term resilience.
In collaboration with field and industry partners, we turned that research into something you can hold: three essential products made from our experimental sunflowers, assembled into a single gift box that is the signature of our collective commitment.
Production partners
Three treasures,
one plant
Each product is made from sunflowers grown within HelEx and AGRI4POL experimental plots: traceable, non-GMO, and crafted in partnership with local producers.
Premium Oil
Cold-pressed · Experimental varieties
Pure oil pressed from seeds harvested in HelEx trial plots. Each bottle carries the HelEx label and a note on its scientific origin: a tangible result of four years of breeding research.
Pure Honey
Pollinator health · Field sites
Produced by bees foraging on HelEx experimental plots with ADA Occitanie, this honey embodies the project’s focus on pollinator ecosystem services: research you can taste.
Plant-based Proteins
Full value chain · EU crop diversity
A European alternative to soy: sunflower protein-rich meal, produced with Sunbloom. This small jar carries a big promise: the bioeconomy potential of tomorrow’s sunflower varieties.
A box that
tells the story
The kraft cardboard box announces itself boldly: Made From Sunflower. Open it, and you find the full story: the inner panel displays all the logos of the HelEx and AGRI4POL consortium, over 30 institutions from across Europe.
This is not a commercial product. It is a collective scientific achievement transformed into something tangible: a communication object born from the field, shaped by research, and offered as a shared commitment to the future of sunflowers.
