Nestlé announced that it is investing in bringing regenerative agriculture to the wheat farms in its DiGiorno supply chain. The investment will cover 100,000 acres of farmland, which is double the amount of wheat needed for DiGiorno products.
Almost two-thirds of Nestlé's greenhouse gas emissions emanate from its sourcing practices. The company’s net zero emissions goal of 2050 begins with using regenerative agriculture for 20% of its sourced ingredients by 2025 and 50% by 2030.
"At Nestlé our aim is to help leave the world better than we found it, and as the world's largest food and beverage company, we have a tremendous opportunity to help create a regenerative, healthy food system...,” said Steve Presley, CEO, Nestlé Zone North America.
DiGiorno is partnering with two of its primary wheat flour suppliers, ADM and Ardent Mills. The investment in regenerative agriculture will benefit farms in Kansas, North Dakota, Indiana and Missouri.
