Agriculture relies on productive land, adequate water, workers’ labor, and the welfare of animals. However, environmental risks and social injustice threaten these basic needs. Instead of expecting producers to manage these challenges on their own, leading companies are reaching through their supply chains and connecting directly with their raw material suppliers.
This report describes the efforts of five companies—Danone North America, Dr. Bronner’s, Sun World, The North Face, and Wrangler—to engage in their supply chains and help shape the future of sustainable agriculture to a more regenerative and thriving system. They share a common set of best practices to advance sustainable agriculture in their supply chains. These are described in this report along with additional insight to help companies encourage and support sustainable agriculture in their supply chains by connecting to the farm.
