ADM has issued its third annual report detailing its accelerating global work to support food security and strengthen the food system by advancing regenerative agriculture practices. Throughout 2024, ADM’s regenerative agriculture efforts focused on retaining participating farmers, expanding practice adoption and rolling out projects in additional geographies. ADM’s program engaged more than 5 million acres, surpassing its 2024 goal of 3.5 million acres and achieving its 2025 goal a year early.
Greg Morris, SVP and President at Ag Services & Oilseeds ADM, mentioned: “ADM has been connected to the land and the farmers who care for it for more than 120 years, and we know healthy soil is the foundation of resilient agriculture. Reaching our 2025 goal a year ahead of schedule is a milestone that reflects what’s possible when partners from farm to table work together. This report clarifies our objectives and demonstrates the tangible impact of our dedication to creating shared value for farmers, customers and consumers.”
The report features:
- ADM’s global approach to regenerative agriculture.
- Accomplishments and outcomes from 2024, including reducing ADM’s Scope 3 footprint by more than 1 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions (more than triple the reduction achieved during 2023) and sequestering more than 363,000 tons of CO2 e.
- Examples of ADM’s work to connect the value chain, from thousands of farmers to agronomic conservation and data monitoring partners to downstream partners such as The J.M. Smucker Co., Nestlé, PepsiCo and more.
- Case studies across six continents, including North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
ADM recognizes that no two farms are the same. Its broad and farmer-centric approach to regenerative agriculture offers farmers an array of options, including education, financial incentives and technical innovation, that meet their varied needs and empower them in the ways that work best for their specific situations. Through partnerships across the supply chain, ADM links farmers with technology providers, experts and end customers. Each partner plays a vital role, united by a conservation mindset and understanding that this work benefits everyone involved.
Morris concluded: “We're proud to be supporting farmers, agriculture and food security by accelerating a global shift toward regenerative agriculture and providing growers with tools, expertise and incentives that create economic value and unlock new market opportunities. This rapid expansion showcases our commitment to defining clear practices, setting measurable goals and delivering tangible outcomes for a more resilient agricultural future.”
