Third Annual Report Details Industry Leader's Global Regen Ag Efforts and Progress
ADM (NYSE:ADM), a global leader in innovative solutions from nature, today 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.
"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," said Greg Morris, SVP and President, Ag Services & Oilseeds, ADM. "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 comprehensive report features:
- ADM's global approach to regenerative agriculture, as well as definitions, principles and practices.
- Accomplishments and outcomes from 2024, including reducing ADM's Scope 3 footprint by more than 1M metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions (more than triple the reduction achieved during 2023) and sequestering more than 363,000 metric tons of CO2e.
- Examples of ADM's work to connect the entire 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.
- Details and case studies in countries spanning six continents, including North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
ADM understands that no two farms are the same. Its broad and farmer-centric approach to regenerative agriculture offers famers 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. ADM partners with organizations involved in activities all along the supply chain, linking farmers with technology providers, technical experts and end customers. Each partner plays a vital role, united by a conservation mindset and understanding that this work benefits everyone involved.
"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," said Morris. "This rapid expansion showcases our commitment to defining clear practices, setting measurable goals and delivering tangible outcomes for a more resilient agricultural future."
