We’re proud to share our beloved products with shoppers at Ahold Delhaize USA grocery store brands and today, are announcing a joint initiative to help scale sustainability efforts and maximize impact across the industry. General Mills and Ahold Delhaize USA are co-investing to help accelerate regenerative agriculture on 70,000 acres of farmland – the approximate acres General Mills engages to source key ingredients, like wheat and oats, for products sold through grocery stores operated by Ahold Delhaize USA brands. This initiative, with on-the-ground partnership by Ecosystem Services Market Consortium (ESMC), supports farmers as they adopt regenerative farming practices and aims to create positive environmental outcomes across our shared value chain.

Ahold Delhaize USA, owner of Food Lion and Giant Food, is teaming up with General Mills to promote regenerative agriculture for wheat and oats, aiming to reduce emissions. 🌱 They’ll co-invest in farms using practices like cover cropping on over 70,000 acres in Kansas and Saskatchewan by 2025. This follows Ahold Delhaize's earlier project with Kellanova in North Carolina. The Ecosystem Services Market Consortium will oversee impact measurement and verify greenhouse gas reductions. 🌍 General Mills has already invested millions since 2020 to support Kansas wheat growers, benefiting producers, corporations, and consumers alike! 💚 #SustainableFarming #RegenerativeAgriculture #ClimateAction #GreenEnergy

#RegenerativeAgriculture is gaining traction. Having grown up on a farm, I'm all for it. Will this new collaborative endeavour bear significant tangible outcomes? I'm hopeful yet key decisions/steps in the #food #valuechain must be revisited/reimagined to preserve and leverage the full benefits of RA and truly support and recognize the hard work of #farmers and #producers. #foodmarketing #foodretailing

We’re reimagining dairy farming with the Milk Sustainability Center (MSC). We teamed up with DeLaval and Dairy Data Warehouse (DDW) to introduce the MSC to farmers across Europe. The platform helps dairy farmers by bringing their data together, providing valuable insights, and reducing manual data entry. As Alexander Berges, Production System Manager at John Deere, puts it, "The Milk Sustainability Center was developed to help dairy farmers achieve their goals while addressing the increasing expectations of dairies, retailers, policymakers, and consumers." #JohnDeereEurope
