    This year’s World Soil Day campaign focuses on "Caring for Soils: Measure, Monitor, Manage." As a global agricultural company, we recognize the importance of promoting sustainable soil management. We educate our contracted growers on soil conservation, analysis and improvements, helping them implement best practices that enhance the production of high-quality tobacco. For example, in Brazil we recently completed the latest cycle of our Beyond Agronomy Basics program, training approximately 540 farmers on these essential conservation practices. Since the program’s start in 2021, 1,845 contracted farmers have been trained. #WorldSoilDay #soilconservation #environment

    The United Nations states that “every second, an equivalent of four football fields of healthy land becomes degraded” – that’s 100 million hectares per year. Land restoration initiatives and responsible land stewardship are critical to combating issues linked to land degradation and drought, and support the viability of our contracted growers. In alignment with good agricultural practices, we work with growers to implement methods that reduce water consumption and improve soil health, which promote improved crop quality and yield.  In Thailand, we have a program focused on transitioning farmers away from using costly, water-intensive water pipe and flood irrigation methods to instead adopting drip irrigation practices. Participating growers have achieved up to a 37 percent reduction of water usage. The program has also contributed to the growers’ average cost savings of $0.13 per kilogram of tobacco purchased. Through sustainable land stewardship, we aim to mitigate the impacts of climate change while supporting the livelihoods of our contracted growers.  #UNited4Land #sustainableagriculture #growingabetterworld #combatclimatechange

    On #EarthDay and every day, we strive to be responsible stewards of the environment and minimize our environmental footprint. In Malawi, the local team identified that our factory’s coal-fired boilers were contributing to most of our local CO2 emissions. To meet the Company’s emissions reduction goals and protect the surrounding environment, the team endeavored to transition from coal to more sustainable boiler fuel sources. Watch the video below to learn how their efforts will eliminate the need for coal at our Malawi factory, reducing our CO2 footprint while achieving cost savings and improving local air quality. #growingabetterworld #sustainablefuel
