U.S. Soy

U.S. Soy held a panel at Sustainable Brands this week about farmers and brands partnering to unlock measurable change. To scale sustainability and enable widespread adoption, Ohio farmer and United Soybean Board Chair Steve Reinhard shared: “The most valuable partnerships involve collaboration. Farmers are willing to do what you need us to do, and we’ve transitioned on our farm over the years with various commodities and specialty crops. We can help companies meet Scope 3 emission targets or even design a new product to meet your needs. Just like what we did with high oleic soybeans that offer health benefits in the vegetable oil market.” Farmers for Soil Health marketplace is the conduit to make this happen. It directly connects farmers practicing sustainable agriculture with consumer packaged goods companies. Transactions happen in real-time, without an intermediary, and 100% of the payments go to the farmer.

U.S. Soy closed out the #TransformFood conference this week on the topic of how to incentivize farmers to scale up their sustainable practices. In partnering with the food value chain through the Farmers for Soil Health Marketplace or other programs, United Soybean Board farmer-leader Tony Mellenthin shared- “We farm with infinite variables, and we treat each and every field separately. We have our own recipe as far as the varieties that we grow, tillage and cover crop practices, fertilization and crop nutrition. We know that food companies want data, data, data, but a quantifiable reimbursement structure is critical because we’re truly giving up the trade secret of how we farm. But when companies help alleviate our financial risk, it builds trust.” Nancy Kavazanjian, Jack Cornell and Grey Montgomery also provided insights during the panel and sparked many questions from the audience who were interested in how farmers future proof their land and business to stay profitable.
