ADM (NYSE: ADM) and its partners, Keurig Dr Pepper, PepsiCo, and
Practical Farmers of Iowa, have won the Field to Market: Alliance
for Sustainable Agriculture™ 2022 Collaboration of the Year Award
for their regenerative agriculture project supporting Nebraska
farmers. The award, one of Field to Market’s Sustainability
Leadership Awards, recognizes an outstanding collaboration and
cross-sector partnership in advancing continuous improvement in
sustainable agriculture at the field and landscape level.
The project, “Supporting Nebraska Farmers to Boost Resiliency
Via Cover Cropping,” provides farmers with technical assistance,
peer support networks and cost share payments for implementing
cover crops. Since the start of the project in 2021, farmers
participating in the project have planted more than the
partnership’s goal of 15,000 acres of cover crops. This initiative
not only supports the agricultural communities financially, but
also the overall health of the direct and surrounding ecosystems;
cover crops are used to prevent erosion, improve soil and water
quality, maintain high nutrient levels in soil, eliminate weeds,
and serve as livestock nourishment.
“ADM unites the entire supply chain. Through major regenerative
agriculture partnerships and on-the-ground engagement with growers
and suppliers, ADM is committed to building a more sustainable food
system,” said Alison Taylor, Chief Sustainability Officer at ADM.
“ADM is also committed to reducing our Scope 3 emissions as part of
a holistic approach to addressing climate challenges. Because the
majority of our Scope 3 emissions come from the farming that
happens upstream – and from the ingredient processing that occurs
by our customers downstream – it is important to collaborate with
our growers and customers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
In total, ADM has initiated 18 Field to Market projects that
span across 13 U.S. states and 2 Canadian provinces, focused on
corn, soy, and wheat production. These states and provinces include
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Manitoba, Missouri,
Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Saskatchewan,
Tennessee, Texas, and Washington. These projects are part of ADM’s
broader sustainable agriculture initiatives, which have enrolled
over 750,000 total acres of land in the U.S. in the transition to
regenerative agriculture practices and are creating long-term
market opportunities for farmers.
Farmers have always been stewards of the land, and ADM is proud
to partner with them and other companies to do more to advance
regenerative agricultural practices that sequester carbon, promote
biodiversity, support a holistic approach to ecological health, and
increase farm resiliency to feed the world more sustainably.
