Sustainability leaders on soil quality

“Soil quality is of extreme importance to our business, as the majority of our raw materials are agricultural in nature. While many of our farmer suppliers are very good stewards of the land, there are some sourcing regions that may have opportunity for improvement. It is important that businesses engage with those growers to help identify practice that will provide benefit for the land, the farmer, the broader community, and the company itself.”

Brian Nash, Sustainability Director, Ingredion

“Many businesses are working on specific crop improvements and often in specific regions. Soil quality is already a consideration in these work streams. We need to find a way to scale the delivery and to better share our approach and progress.”
