Regenerative Agriculture is on a Roll
Our pesticide-laden food system needs an overhaul. We’re holding big consumer- facing food companies — the biggest customers of agricultural commodities — responsible for their suppliers’ farming practices, pushing them to eliminate toxic pesticide use and invest in regenerative practices to improve biodiversity and soil health. We’ve got some great progress for you —
Kellogg’s will phase out glyphosate (aka Roundup) as a pre-harvest desiccant in its wheat and oat supply chains
General Mills is expanding the regenerative faming commitment it made to us last year, and its suppliers already are seeing pollinators and birds returning to farms!
JM Smucker’s conducted a pesticide risk analysis in its supply chains and is working to reduce pesticide use through Integrated Pest Management
Pepsi committed to advancing regenerative agriculture practices on 7 million acres
Campbell’s will reduce pesticides in its key crop supply chains, tomatoes, wheat, and potatoes; pilot a pest management tool; increase its Integrated Pest Management practices; and begin collecting pesticide data
The direct shareholder pressure we practice is an effective way to hold corporations accountable, particularly consumer-facing companies like the ones we target here.
Thank you for standing with us.
