Chicago — ADM reports its regenerative agriculture programs engaged more than 56,000 farmers across approximately 4.6 million acres in 2025, according to the company’s fourth annual regenerative agriculture report.
The programs spanned 11 countries and 10 crops and resulted in approximately 946,000 metric tons of CO2e reductions compared with regional benchmarks, the company reports.
“Resilience starts on the farm. By improving and protecting soil health, farmers can be better equipped to adapt to changing conditions and maintain productive operations,” says Greg Morris, senior vice-president and president, Ag Services and Oilseeds at ADM. “That resilience can extend across the value chain, helping strengthen the food system we all depend on.”
ADM says its regenerative agriculture programs are designed to connect farmers with technical assistance, incentives, and downstream customers while supporting practices intended to improve soil health and strengthen agricultural supply chains.
The company also expanded its collaborations across the food supply chain, including initiatives with PepsiCo and Mars, as well as General Mills and Walmart. According to ADM, the partnerships are intended to help scale regenerative agriculture practices while creating value for farmers and other participants across the supply chain.
“ADM views agriculture as a powerful way to meet evolving customer needs, and our work in regenerative agriculture demonstrates ways in which we are uniquely positioned to connect agricultural production with lower-carbon markets at scale,” Morris says.
The report provides updates on ADM programs in North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, along with information about the company’s regenerative agriculture definitions, principles, and practices. It also includes farmer survey results, consumer research, and examples of how ADM is working with farmers and customers.
“For this progress to last, regenerative agriculture has to work on the farm and across the value chain,” Morris says. “That means listening to farmers, using data to understand outcomes and improve our programs, and working with customers and partners to build market demand that can help these practices endure and grow.”
