ADM’s collaboration across the agrifood supply chain to incentivize farmers to shift to regenerative agriculture practices has led to over a 946,000-metric-ton reduction of CO2 emissions in 2025 ─ according to the commodity giant’s fourth annual regenerative agriculture report.
In 2025, ADM supported 4.6 million acres of regenerative farmland across 11 countries, including Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Hungary, India, Serbia, Poland, UK, and the US, through its Re:generations program. Additionally, the company supported a range of crops, including barley, canola, corn, cotton, edible beans, peanuts, sorghum, soybeans, sunflowers, and wheat.
Nearly all (99%) of the farmers involved in the 2025 regenerative program in North America plan to re-enroll again, and 91% said the program was positive from a farm economics standpoint, per an ADM survey of 700 farmers. Additionally, 68% of farmers said that carbon intensity scores were valuable to their operations.
ADM has partnered with agrifood stakeholders and consumer brands, like PepsiCo, Campbell’s, General Mills, Grupo Bimbo, The J M Smucker Co, Mars, Ooni, and Walmart. In July 2026, ADM revealed a partnership with Walmart and General Mills to help Midwest wheat farmers adopt regen ag projects, as AgNavigator reported.
Additionally, ADM highlighted several other initiatives across the globe in the annual regen ag report, including:
- North America: ADM worked with Iowa State University, Purdue University, and University of Nebraska Lincoln scientists to study how to reduce nitrogen loss through a combination of cover crops and in-field conservation practices. Additionally, the commodity company partnered with Earth Optics and Gradable to measure how regen ag practices impacted on carbon in the soil.
- Europe, Middle East, and Africa: ADM worked with Bayer to provide Hungarian sunflower seed farmers with financial support for regen ag practices, including minimum tillage, cover crops, crop rotation, use of organic matter/manure, an integrated pest management practice.
- South America: With ADM’s support, Argentine producer Golden Peanut was recertified as an FSA-SAI Gold farm, the highest ranking in FSA-SAI’s sustainable farming standard.
- Australia: ADM helped five farmers and 12 farms in Queensland and New South Wales with the ADM Regenagri Farm Group license, an international regen ag standard, the company shared.
“Resilience starts on the farm. By improving and protecting soil health, farmers can be better equipped to adapt to changing conditions and maintain productive operations. That resilience can extend across the value chain, helping strengthen the food system we all depend on,” said Greg Morris, SVP and president, ag services and oilseeds at ADM, in a press release.
