Big food’s regenerative agriculture pledges mostly just talk

Read the full story from Food Dive.

Major food companies are making “more promises than progress” on regenerative agriculture, according to an analysis from the Farm Animal Investment Risk & Return investor network.

A FAIRR review of 79 global agri-food firms found that 63% refer to regenerative agriculture as an opportunity to reduce corporate emissions. Of the companies with pledges in place, 64% do not have any quantitative company-wide targets to achieve those goals.

Only four companies — Nestlé, PepsiCo, JBS S.A. and Sodexo — have put a significant amount of money behind their pledges to support farmers in the transition to new, more sustainable production practices.
