ADM joins General Mills and Walmart on regenerative wheat acres

ADM has joined General Mills and Walmart in a strategic collaboration to accelerate regenerative agriculture across 40,000 US Midwest wheat acres in key growing regions, where General Mills sources wheat from ADM for products sold through Walmart and Sam’s Club.

The companies said the initial projects are designed to produce demonstrable improvements in soil health, water quality and carbon sequestration. They also said American Farmland Trust and Duck Unlimited will provide technical assistance for the effort, according to World Grain.

General Mills and Walmart previously committed to advance regenerative agriculture across 600,000 shared acres by 2030, a pact initiated in 2023 that has led to programs underway across more than 560,000 wheat acres in the United States, the outlet reported.

With ADM now included, the partnership adds a wheat supplier managing nearly 5 million regenerative acres globally, and aims to accelerate progress in Illinois, Indiana and Missouri. The companies said the collaboration puts General Mills on pace to advance regenerative agriculture on 1 million acres by 2030 and supports Walmart’s goal to protect, more sustainably manage or restore at least 50 million acres by 2030.
