Global food giant Nestl\u00e9 is launching two new collaborations designed to scale regenerative agriculture globally while attracting more young people into farming.<\/p>\n

The initiatives \u2014 one in collaboration with The Nature Conservancy<\/a> and the other with the youth-learning platform Goodwall<\/a> \u2014 were formally unveiled at the recent World Economic Forum<\/a> Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland.<\/p>\n

Stakeholder and Youth Engagement<\/p>\n

According to Nestl\u00e9, the collaboration with The Nature Conservancy builds upon the existing \u201cNestl\u00e9 Agriculture Framework,\u201d a corporate plan designed to help farmers improve crops, earnings and environmental outcomes. Nestl\u00e9 said the partners will now seek to refine and expand that framework and encourage \u201cmore industry stakeholders\u201d to participate.<\/p>\n

Separately, Nestl\u00e9 said it will support Goodwall in building an agriculture curriculum that uses gamification to increase awareness of regenerative agriculture and teach \u201cpractical skills\u201d to young people through the Goodwall app.<\/p>\n

Nestl\u00e9 did not disclose financial terms associated with either partnership.<\/p>\n

Coming from the world\u2019s largest food and beverage company, the announcement signals how \u201cregenerative agriculture\u201d has moved from a niche, often loosely defined idea to a mainstream corporate priority.<\/p>\n

While Nestl\u00e9 framed the Davos partnerships as a step toward making regenerative agriculture \u201cthe norm\u201d across its sourcing footprint, the press release offered few specifics on which crops, origins, farmer groups or verification methods will be involved.<\/p>\n

Regenerative Coffee<\/p>\n

In coffee specifically, \u201cregenerative\u201d has increasingly migrated from broad sustainability rhetoric<\/a> into consumer-facing claims and third-party programs. Rainforest Alliance rolled out a regenerative standard<\/a> for coffee in September 2025, and Nestl\u00e9-owned Nespresso has said it plans to be the first brand to bring Rainforest Alliance Regenerative certified coffee to market<\/a>, with a certification seal expected on select products this year.<\/p>\n

Nestl\u00e9 and Nespresso helped fund a report launched by a separate nonprofit, TechnoServe, last May, that modeled a potential seven-year, $4 billion investment in regenerative agriculture in coffee. Called \u201cThe Regenerative Coffee Investment Case,\u201d<\/a> the report found that transitioning to regenerative agriculture in major growing countries outside of Brazil and Vietnam could increase smallholder coffee farmer income by an average of 62% and boost production and exports by approximately 30%.<\/p>\n

The report called for substantial private-sector investment in regenerative agriculture, as well as collaboration among \u201cinvestors, industry, government and service providers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Notably, Nestl\u00e9 recently signaled it is exploring the sale of California-based Blue Bottle Coffee<\/a>, which in 2025 stated plans to invest in regenerative agriculture<\/a>. Nestl\u00e9 acquired Blue Bottle in 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n
