ADM is partnering with agtech company Klim to expand its re:generations™ program across Germany.
ADM stated that its re:generations program supports agriculture, and helps build and maintain a more resilient food system by providing financial assistance and agronomic support to farmers who are taking steps to implement regenerative agriculture practices. These practices include precise fertilizer application, conservation tillage, cover crops, increasing biodiversity habitats, and companion cropping.
Farmers enrolled in re:generations in Germany receive incentives per hectare for introducing regenerative agriculture practices. With a goal of enrolling 60,000 acres (approximately 24,281 hectares) in Germany by 2025, the program in Germany is currently available for farmers growing wheat, oilseed rape and soy. It follows the launch of re:generations in the United Kingdom and Poland as part of ADM’s goal to support regenerative agriculture practices across five million acres globally this year.
ADM has partnered with agtech company Klim to onboard German farmers and further develop the program by providing monitoring, reporting and verification services. Together, Klim and ADM have defined over 30 key performance indicators that farmers can use to measure impact using comprehensive data and insights from across the entire farm.
