Regenerative agriculture has received significant attention in recent years for its potential to increase the health and resilience of our global food system, and mitigating industrial agriculture’s adverse impacts on soil health, biodiversity, water quality, crop nutrient density, and human health. Major food companies have begun promoting regenerative agriculture practices within their supply chains and supply sheds, but the lack of universal standards and regulations makes it difficult for investors to measure the success of companies’ regenerative programs.
This report benchmarks major food manufacturers and suppliers on their regenerative agriculture programs, policies, and goals, providing a pathway for investors to assess company performance and long-term value. The scorecard grades 20 major food companies on 15 key performance indicators designed to assess the companies’ regenerative agriculture strategies and disclosures, display the industry’s overall performance, distinguish leaders from laggards, and highlight notable practices. Company scores are based on a thorough review of publicly available information, including companies’ published reports, webpages, and press statements.
