Global Agribusinesses Unite to Speed up Farmer Adoption of Regenerative Ag

The Sustainable Food Trust and Waitrose have joined 10 global agribusiness companies to form a new task force that will try to help more farmers make a faster transition to regenerative agriculture, according to Farmers Weekly. The coalition says the current rate of farmers adopting regenerative farming is too slow to make a significant difference to climate change and biodiversity loss in the near future.

McCain, PepsiCo, McDonald’s and Bayer are all in the task force, which has been created as part of Prince Charles’s Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) – a global effort to halt climate change and biodiversity loss.

It is hoped that through collaboration the task force can identify and create the right market conditions across the supply chain to make the switch to regenerative agriculture feasible for farmers. In the UK, potatoes will be the first crop examined by the task force, which will produce a report on its findings for policymakers and businesses by the end of 2022.
