It Starts with Healthy Soil
We believe the most promising farming solutions start with healthy soil, so we are piloting a grower partnership approach to equip farmers in our top oat sourcing region with the resources they need to implement regenerative agriculture. General Mills has committed to making regenerative agriculture advances on 1 million acres by 2030.
What is Regenerative Agriculture?
Regenerative agriculture is a holistic, principles-based approach to farming and ranching that seeks to strengthen ecosystems and communities. It can pull carbon from the air and store it underground to fuel life. It protects soil from erosion under an armor of plants and suppresses pests so farmers don’t need as many pesticides.
