Sustainable Agriculture

At Kellogg, our vision for our sustainable agriculture work is to identify agricultural practices and strategies that will help meet the world’s growing need for safe, nutritious food; decrease impacts on the environment; and improve the social and economic well-being of agricultural communities.

We take very seriously our responsibility to help ensure a sustainable food supply and encourage sustainable agricultural practices. As part of these efforts, we're participating in several collaborative efforts to promote sustainable practices in production agriculture, including Field to Market, a collaboration of growers, agribusinesses, food companies and conservation organizations. Field to Market is organized and facilitated by the nonprofit Keystone Center and funded in part by Kellogg. In 2009, the participating organizations jointly developed sustainability metrics for corn, wheat, soy and cotton in the United States. They also developed a Fieldprint Calculator – an online tool that enables farmers to evaluate their natural resource use, compare it to industry averages and ultimately increase the efficiency of their operations.
