Farmer Engagement
Working in partnership with the Louis Dreyfus Foundation, local experts and a wide range of other partners, we leverage our networks and internal expertise to drive the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices as a path to improved livelihoods and greater resilience for farming communities, while protecting the environment.
In addition, we encourage our employees to lever their knowledge and insights to identify and engage with opportunities to participate in various educational, environmental, health, food security and other projects that directly benefit their local communities.
