“Regenerative agriculture contributes to a regenerative food system, which should be fair and transparent for all participants. Nestlé is committed to supporting improved and diversified farmer incomes through its sustainability programs,” the company said.

In November, Nestlé is launching a new training platform to attract and train the next generation of farmers. The training will focus on regenerative agriculture practices and improving the resilience of farms to climate change for more than 40,000 farmers participating in one of Nestlé’s agripreneurship programs.

 The company made the announcement in the lead up to next week’s UN Food Systems Summit and following the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report that showed the climate crisis was intensifying.

Nestlé is also signatory of the UN Business Ambition for 1.5°C Pledge and was one of the first companies to share its detailed, time-bound climate plan in December 2020. The company is taking measures to halve its emissions by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2050.
