We're back to answer some of our most asked sustainability questions! A: Yes! Our nonprofit, The FruitGuys Community Fund, awards annual grants to small farms to support sustainable agriculture projects. Those grants have helped farmers add solar power, support pollinators, reduce their water usage, build soil health, and more. We also source fruit from many small farms that practice sustainable farming methods. A: Yes! Our packaging is reusable at the consumer level, recyclable, and compostable. We use nontoxic inks and 100% recycled cardboard. Our packaging materials meet B Lab’s independent standards for environmental impact. Have a question we didn’t answer?

Great to listen to the discussion about building regenerative into short, medium and long term strategy at the #ReutersResponsibleBusiness event yesterday. The benefits of regenerative are clear, but what is absolutely critical to making regenerative practices a success are people. Without involving farmers as #equal partners and stakeholders, we won’t get anywhere. Michael Gidney, CEO of The Fairtrade Foundation, final points : 1) The importance of paying a fair price to farmers so they have the investment and resources to plan long term and implement regenerative practices 2) We must give power to farmers so they have an equal stake 3) we need to see more businesses willing to work in a pre competitive space to invest in these solutions that will benefits all of us.

It's a good day when you see your work featured on Forbes! Here is how we and our partners Kiss The Ground are working towards a goal of improving soil health through regeneratively grown cotton, ultimately leading to reduced carbon emissions and a healthier planet: https://lnkd.in/gFWpB2tj

A resilient, regenerative supply chain can bring back the connection between the people who grow our food, and the people who eat it. It benefits all of us - from farmers to consumers - and everyone in between. Here's how: 💰 Farmer Prosperity: By building resilience in the face of climate change, we empower farmers to thrive, ensuring stability and raising income. Supporting regenerative practices not only safeguards livelihoods but also secures our food future. 🧩Future-Forward Thinking: Investing in a resilient supply chain means aligning with evolving consumer demands. From farm to fork, we're shaping a system that adapts to market needs while prioritizing a healthy planet. It's a win for both producers and consumers. 🔍 Transparency and Trust: A trusted certification - and the transparency it brings - plays a critical role in our journey towards regeneration. This empowers consumers to make informed choices, supporting practices that nourish the planet and communities. Each step towards regeneration strengthens our global ecosystem, ensuring a resilient and thriving future for all. When we support a regenerative food system, we invest in everyone's well-being. 🌍 📸: Derek Axten, Axten Family Farms #ResilientSupplyChain #RegenerativeFuture

Great to be part of the panel on regenerative agriculture yesterday at The Economist Sustainability Week event in London. I shared the stage with Sarah Compson, Meagan Kaiser, Melanie Bausen-Wiens, Sonia Thimmiah and the Economist’s Dení Pörtl. It was evident that across the board there is real progress being made in many areas of Regen Ag—technological advancements, farmer-centric solutions, and a more holistic understanding of impact on biodiversity, water and soil health—across landscapes. Despite this progress, it was also clear that we have a long way to go, we are not scaling fast enough. If we are to deliver against the planet’s need to limit climate change to 1.5 degrees, the regenerative farming growth rate must triple to make up at least 40% of global cropland by 2030. On stage yesterday, we represented a range of perspectives from across the global food supply chain—grower, industry, and government—and we recognized that we have a shared responsibility to accelerate and fund the transition. At McCain Foods, we see this as critical to tackle the climate and nature crises as well as making good business sense. Building a global regenerative agricultural system is not about securing competitive advantage—it’s a moral imperative for the planet and ensures a resilient food supply chain for generations to come.    #EconSustainability #WeAreMcCain #RegenerativeAgriculture #Sustainability

Join the Center for EcoTechnology on August 30th and September 6th for a two-part online event dedicated to wasted food solutions for businesses and institutions in New York State. The first presentation, on August 30th will focus on two critical strategies on the EPA Food Recovery Hierarchy: food waste prevention and surplus food donation. These strategies offer benefits that go beyond their positive social and environmental impacts. They are practical to implement and can even result in cost savings. Tune in again on September 6th to discover the multitude of environmental and economic benefits associated with repurposing food waste as animal feed, learn about the replenishing wonders of composting for returning nutrients to depleted soils, and explore the potential of anaerobic digestion to generate renewable energy sources. These methods are beneficial for not only reducing unnecessary waste and potentially saving money but also can sequester carbon from the atmosphere. Register now: https://lnkd.in/g9fCep_k
