Nestlé Amps Up Sourcing Ingredients Grown with Regenerative Agriculture for its DiGiorno Pizza Line
Through partnerships with ADM and Ardent Mills, investment will benefit wheat farms across Kansas, North Dakota, Indiana, and Missouri.
Nestlé is investing to help bring regenerative agriculture practices to wheat farms within its DiGiorno supply chain, with the goal of improving soil, using less water, energy and fertilizer, and helping reduce the impacts of climate change. The initiative will bring regenerative agriculture practices to over 100,000 acres of farmland—nearly double the amount of acres needed to grow the amount of wheat used in DiGiorno pizza. The work will help the company accelerate the transition to regenerative agriculture in its supply chain.
Today, nearly two-thirds of Nestlé’s global greenhouse gas emissions come from sourcing ingredients, which is rooted in agriculture. As part of its detailed roadmap to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, the company aims to source 20% of its key ingredients through regenerative agricultural methods by 2025 and 50% of its key ingredients by 2030.
