Nestl\u00e9 has announced the launch of not one but two major new sustainability projects.<\/p>\n
First up, the world\u2019s biggest CPG is working with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and Goodwall globally. <\/p>\n
The aim? <\/p>\n
To accelerate the transition to regenerative agriculture and encourage young people to enter the world of farming.<\/p>\n
Regenerative agriculture<\/p>\n
\u201cRegenerative agriculture is essential to the long-term resilience of our business and the global food system,\u201d says Stephanie Hart, COO of Nestl\u00e9. \u201cBy combining TNC\u2019s conservation expertise with Goodwall\u2019s ability to mobilise millions of young people, we can accelerate progress and build a more sustainable future for farmers, communities and the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n
The work supports The Nestl\u00e9 Agriculture Framework – a plan to help farmers grow better crops, earn more and protect nature.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delighted to continue collaborating with Nestl\u00e9, a company that shares our commitment for a more resilient food system,\u201d says Jennifer Morris, CEO of The Nature Conservancy. \u201cTogether, we can scale practical, science-based solutions that restore ecosystems, protect biodiversity and strengthen farmer livelihoods.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bringing the next generation into the agriculture industry is essential to building more resilient food systems and securing the future of food. <\/p>\n
To help show that farming can offer a stable, appealing career path, Nestl\u00e9 is partnering with Goodwall, a global youth learning platform. The company will support Goodwall in building out its agriculture curriculum, using gamified learning to boost young people\u2019s understanding of regenerative practices, develop hands\u2011on skills and inspire them to become agripreneurs.<\/p>\n
And, through the Goodwall app, they\u2019ll be able to make friends, exchange ideas, test practical solutions to real\u2011world challenges, and refine their approaches based on what works.<\/p>\n
\u201cYoung people today want to be part of real solutions,\u201d says Taha Bawa, co-founder and CEO of Goodwall. \u201cThis partnership will open new pathways for them to learn, contribute and lead in the shift toward regenerative agriculture.\u201d<\/p>\n
The two initiatives, say Nestl\u00e9, mark a significant step in its broader ambition to make regenerative agriculture the norm across its global sourcing footprint, while building a strong pipeline of next-generation agripreneurs.<\/p>\n

The news follows the announcement that Nestl\u00e9 is working with the World Farmers\u2019 Organisation to help make food systems more resilient to climate change through advocacy for fair policies and practical solutions, such as regenerative agriculture. <\/p>\n
\u201cFarmers are facing the challenges of climate change every day, but they are also driving the solutions,\u201d says Arnold Puech d\u2019Alissac, president at the World\u2019s Farmers Organisation. \u201cReal change demands holistic approaches and collaboration across the value chain. This partnership with Nestl\u00e9 aims to lead by example, showing how farmers and industry can work together, with trust and respect, to build food systems that are fair, resilient, and sustainable for people and the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n
The future of food<\/p>\n
For the wider food and beverage industry, Nestl\u00e9\u2019s move signals a shift that\u2019s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. <\/p>\n
As supply chains face mounting pressure from climate volatility, soil degradation and labour shortages, regenerative agriculture and talent development are no longer niche ambitions \u2013 they\u2019re fast becoming strategic imperatives. <\/p>\n
By mobilising major conservation partners and tapping into youth-led innovation, Nestl\u00e9 is helping to set new expectations for how global brands can support farmers, rebuild ecosystems and future\u2011proof ingredient sourcing.<\/p>\n
The company\u2019s latest initiatives also underscore a growing recognition across the sector \u2013 sustainability goals can\u2019t be achieved through isolated projects but require coordinated efforts, shared standards and cross\u2011industry collaboration. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What Nestl\u00e9\u2019s sustainability initiatives mean for agriculture \u2013 summaryNestl\u00e9 launches two global initiatives supporting regenerative agriculture and young…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11321,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[126],"tags":[8515,8516,8517,8518,8519,8520,8521,8522,8523,8524,8525,8526,8527,8528,626,8529,8530,3824,8531,8532,5946,8533,8534,8535,2118,199,8536,8537,8538,8539,8540,8541,8542,8543,8544,8545,8546,8547,1545,8548,8549,8550,8551],"class_list":["post-11320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nestle","tag-agricultural-machinery","tag-agriculture","tag-agronomy","tag-autumn","tag-cloud-sky","tag-cloudscape","tag-country-geographic-area","tag-crop","tag-dirt","tag-dust","tag-equipment","tag-farm","tag-farmer","tag-field","tag-growth","tag-harrow","tag-harvesting","tag-industry","tag-land","tag-land-vehicle","tag-landscape","tag-landscaped","tag-machinery","tag-meadow","tag-nature","tag-nestle","tag-non-urban-scene","tag-plant","tag-planting","tag-plow","tag-plowed-field","tag-preparation","tag-rural-scene","tag-season","tag-seed","tag-sky","tag-sowing","tag-spraying","tag-summer","tag-sunrise-dawn","tag-sunset","tag-tractor","tag-working"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11320"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11320\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
