Danone North America expands regenerative agriculture program in the dairy industry
The company furthers its commitment to farming practices that help mitigate climate change.
Danone North America, a White Plains, N.Y.- and Broomfield, Colo.-based maker of dairy and plant-based products, said it continues to expand its regenerative farming program, which is currently the most comprehensive regenerative agriculture dairy program in the United States. On Dec. 21, the company unveiled its year-three results from its multi-year, multi-million-dollar soil health research program.
Launched in 2017, the soil health initiative brings together experts and academics to build best-in-class soil health programs to benefit farms and communities across the Danone North America portfolio. Now completing its third year, the research program has nearly tripled to more than 82,000 acres, inclusive of 28,000 organic acres, across the United States and Canada, and recently expanded into almond orchards in the central valley of California, Danone North America said.
