Regenerative agriculture: Philanthropic impact Focus area Goal Partners Our approach: We leverage philanthropy to advance regenerative agriculture practices and support the conservation of natural resources and ecosystems around the world. Complementing our company’s broader sustainability and regenerative commitments, we invest in NGO-led initiatives that increase farmers’ economic resilience and advance respect for human rights, improve soil and water health and increase biodiversity through improved pollinator health and habitat. Learn more in the Planet section of this report. We also actively engage in public policy discussions to advance sustainability priorities — see related details in the report’s Introduction section. Regenerating ecosystems Improving the well-being of farming communities The philanthropic support* we provide to NGO partners, including CARE in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana and Positive Planet in Madagascar, is helping smallholder farming communities improve their livelihoods and farming practices, empower female farmers, establish farmer cooperatives, increase food and nutrition security, support youth education and prevent child labor. These efforts collectively reach more than 58,400 smallholder farmers and their family members. r These cocoa farmers in Côte d'Ivoire are diversifying their household income sources through food crops.
