- Major food companies have begun promoting regenerative agriculture practices within their supply chains and supply sheds, but the lack of universal standards and regulations makes it difficult for investors to measure the success of companies’ regenerative programs.
- assess the companies’ regenerative agriculture strategies and disclosures,
- display the industry’s overall performance,
- distinguish leaders from laggards, and
- highlight notable practices.
- Company scores are based on a thorough review of publicly available information, including companies’ published reports, webpages, and press statements.
RESULTS:
The following 20 companies are included in this review (listed alphabetically): Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Bloch & Guggenheimer (B&G) Food Inc., Campbell Soup Company, Cargill, Conagra Brands Inc., Danone, Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc., General Mills Inc., The Hershey Company, Hormel Foods Corporation, The J. M. Smucker Company, WK Kellogg Company, The Kraft Heinz Company, Lamb Weston Holdings Inc., Mars Inc., McCain Foods Limited, Mondelēz International Inc., Nestlé, PepsiCo Inc., and Post Holdings Inc.
Each company was given the opportunity to review the information compiled in this report and provide additional information or clarification.
Scorecard questions were developed to elicit key information about regenerative agriculture in practice across supply chains. Questions focus on transparency around companies’ regenerative agriculture goals and intended outcomes, measurement and verification systems for tracking outcomes, progress toward goals, and whether companies provide direct support for farmers and the regenerative transition at large.
