Accelerating sustainable progress in beef
Cargill is building on the efficiency of the North American beef industry, which is already 35% more efficient from a GHG perspective than the global average, by establishing programs around grazing management, feed production and food waste reduction.
The BeefUp Sustainability initiative aims to achieve a 30% GHG reduction per pound of product produced by 2030. The company will work hand-in-hand with farmers, ranchers and innovators across the beef supply chain to accelerate adoption of practices known to improve sustainability outcomes, like soil health and carbon storage.
As an early step, it is sponsoring the Yield Lab Institute’s Manure Innovation Challenge. The challenge will guide start-ups with solutions that capture the value from manure-based nutrients, fiber, and energy on an expedited path to market, while creating on-farm profitability.
