This milestone puts KIND on track to meet its goal of sourcing 100% of its almonds from farms using regenerative practices on a mass-balance basis by 2030.🌱    This progress builds on the KIND Almond Acres Initiative, launched in 2023 as a three-year pilot in partnership with ofi North America (Olam Food Ingredients).

    Agriculture is one of the most significant contributors to our value chain emissions. 🌱 Covering approximately 400,000 hectares and involving 70 partners globally, we’re advancing climate-smart agriculture by working collaboratively with farmers, researchers and partners.  Exactly how are we doing it? By supporting the farmers who make it all happen. One example is our Raising Rice Right platform. Through a $20 million investment in the sustainable sourcing of rice from 2020 to 2030, Mars is helping to scale climate-smart agriculture practices, provide additional training and support to rice farmers, build farmer resilience by protecting livelihoods, while continuing to drive industry collaboration. 🌾 🌍 Explore more of the progress in our latest Sustainable in a Generation Report: https://lnkd.in/g_zbhYcH #TomorrowStartsToday #ProudlyMars #ClimateSmartAgriculture
