A few themes we explore in this session:
- How can investing long-term in producers allow food brands to build a more resilient supply system?
- What does it take to root out culprits of high GHGe in supply systems?
- What role do third-party verifiers play in the transition to regenerative agriculture for large food brands like Danone?

Food & Ag Impact, Danone
Danone’s Cost Plus Model program contracts are typically five years or longer. That allows the farmers to get out of a ‘next quarter, next year’ discussion and get into a ‘next decade, next generation’ discussion. It allows them to look deeper at how their own activities can impact GHGs and move more toward a regenerative model.
