Climate change is the #1 concern for U.S. and Canadian beef consumers2
At Cargill, we are advocating for collective action to tackle climate change head on. Working with dedicated partners, we are taking decisive steps, identifying practical, scalable solutions to secure a healthy, sustainable future for us all.
We have set a bold goal for our North American beef supply chain: our four-pillar strategy is the key to sustainably transforming beef to help the world thrive. Explore the purpose that inspires us and the strategy that is guiding our journey.
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.
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.
