Goals That Guide Us
Water Scarcity
The Challenge
Use less water at our farms and processing assets, and help others to do the same.
Action in 2020
- Farmer training and guidance on irrigation and water management in our coffee, cotton and juice supply chains, and as part of several projects with the Louis Dreyfus Foundation.
- Agroforestry leading to increased water availability, by preserving natural habitats and planting trees.
- Process improvements for leakage control, water recycling and water re-use led to a 1.2% reduction in water consumption for LDC overall.
