Leveraging Technology and Trusted Farmer Relationships
for Scaling Scope 3 Programs in Agriculture
Introduction
In the past decade, companies have boldly committed to reducing carbon emissions in their agricultural supply chains, naming regenerative agriculture as a potential solution. In total, across the top 100 CPG companies, 40.5M acres and >$3.2B of investment are committed under a regenerative agriculture target. With only seven chances for farms to adopt regenerative agriculture between now and 2030, the first official checkpoint for many companies is fast approaching. To reach their emissions reductions targets, companies need more farmers to adopt regenerative practices than ever before and at unprecedented rates. Numerous pilot programs that pay farmers to transition to regenerative agriculture are underway to drive adoption, with agricultural companies acting as “program sponsors” who pay farmers in exchange for adopting practices that have potential to reduce agricultural emissions. Yet, with public SBTi commitments looming ahead, program sponsors face a crucial question: How can we scale the adoption of regenerative practices, beyond these pilot programs?
