When we talk about sustainability in the state of Bahía in the northeast of Brazil, we see great progress in recent years. ADM supports the farmer with a range of technical capabilities and we see a sincere commitment from our suppliers: they understand the importance of changing practices and how measures to improve social and environmental care can help their farms continue to grow. For us at ADM, this gives us clear evidence that the transformation has truly taken place. Understanding sustainability is something that goes above and beyond! It’s good for nature, good for those who work on the farm, good for our suppliers, and good for future generations. It is very gratifying to hear farmers telling us about the great impacts that they’re seeing from changing their practices, and to see how positively this reflects on the results of ADM’s work as a company.
