Field to Market: The Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture has
awarded its 2018 Collaboration of the Year Award to Archer Daniels
Midland Company (NYSE: ADM), General Mills and Agrible for their
work on the Southern Plains Wheat Fieldprint® Project, which helps
farmers in Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri to measure and improve
natural resource management efficiency for winter wheat
production.
“We’re honored to receive this recognition for our work to help
farmers enhance the efficiency and sustainability of their
businesses,” said ADM Chief Sustainability Officer Alison Taylor.
“The Southern Plains Wheat Fieldprint Project is a great fit for
us, helping advance all four of our sustainability pillars:
mitigating climate change, protecting natural resources, creating
business alliances and enhancing employee and community
well-being.”
Field to Market—a group of more than 140 members representing
all facets of the U.S. agricultural supply chain—presents its
Sustainability Leadership Awards annually to farmers and
organizations who demonstrate outstanding leadership through their
efforts to advance continuous improvement in the sustainability of
U.S. agriculture.
The Southern Plains Wheat Fieldprint® Project includes 99
participating growers with 176,000 acres enrolled in its second
year. Participating growers have made great strides over the past
two years in soil improvements and input reduction, resulting in
significant emissions reductions; 140,390 gallons of diesel fuel
saved; and a 10 percent increase in crop yields. Equally as
important, the program has created ongoing dialogue and a platform
for growers to share their stories with consumers, facilitated by
ADM.
“The pressing challenges facing agriculture and the environment
are too big for any organization to solve alone, underscoring the
importance of collaboration to deliver solutions at the scale and
pace needed,” said Rod Snyder, president of Field to Market.
“Together, ADM, General Mills and Agrible are helping contribute to
a more profitable, resilient and transparent agricultural supply
chain by helping farmers quantify and measure continuous
improvement in soil health and water conservation and explore
practices that build resiliency.”
