CEBDS members have been investing more and more in the techniques of this sustainable production concept

Less tractor traffic, reduced use of agrochemicals and increased plant cover help preserve the soil. As a result, they improve environmental quality and reduce production costs. This set of techniques is therefore called “regenerative agriculture”.

Nespresso financed the planting of 1,600 avocado seedlings on the Guima Café farm, located in Patos de Minas (MG). This experience motivated the expansion of the project to 8 new farms in 2021. With this, the company is moving forward with the carbon emission calculation system throughout its production chain. Nestlé plans to plant 20 million trees by 2050, as part of its commitment to zeroing its carbon balance.

Pepsico has a plan to bring regenerative agriculture to 250,000 producers around the world and to have 1,00% of the raw materials acquired by the company with certification of origin. Annually, Pepsico do Brasil purchases around 280,000 tons of raw materials, the vast majority of which are produced by small and medium-sized farmers. For this reason, Brazil is considered one of the main pillars of regenerative agriculture for the company.
