We believe beef can be a force for good – a valuable resource through which to address the urgency of climate change and build supply chains that support a stronger, more resilient world.

Our goal

Our Purpose and Strategy

Collaborating for change

Cargill is investing in innovations to build a more sustainable supply chain for beef. However, bold action requires strong partnerships – that’s why we are also collaborating on solutions with stakeholders throughout the value chain. By working with the world’s largest conservation organizations and engaging our customers, we can support ranchers and farmers to unlock the potential in beef that will benefit us all.

Partnerships in action

I learned to respect the land on our family farm, and I carry that responsibility forward to protect the Earth’s resources – for my daughter, and for future generations.
