Reimagine what's possible for food and agriculture

At Cargill, we help bring new possibilities to people and our planet

 

The challenges to our food system are growing more complex, urgent and interconnected. There are no easy answers to solving problems like climate change and food security.

These global issues call for big thinking and bold action. For us to reimagine what’s possible for food and agriculture.

How? From Cargill’s seat at the heart of the food supply chain, we help bring new possibilities for people and our planet.

That means helping farmers make agriculture and food production more sustainable. Helping communities become more resilient. And helping protect our planet for a better tomorrow.

When we come together to reimagine what’s possible for our food system, the possibilities are endless.

Starting in the field

Farmers, ranchers and growers are the heart of agriculture and food production. Solving some of food and agriculture’s biggest challenges — like sustainably feeding a growing world — starts in the field with them.

We’re growing more than cotton here. We’re growing the future. What we do today will make life better for the generations to come.

Creating resilient communities

People power agriculture forward. That is why we partner across agriculture to support farmers’ livelihoods, to build a more equitable food system and to invest in local communities.

I am very happy to become a member of the sanitation committee. It’s not only for the school. I can also use the knowledge I’ve gained at home and in my neighborhood.

I am replanting trees for my children, to keep living from cocoa and provide a livelihood for my family. Trees are our common heritage, that’s why we must take care of them.
