TATE & LYLE PLC
For its part , Tate & Lyle approaches responsible sourcing through its programmes in the US and China . The company has enrolled the equivalent of 100 % of the corn it uses annually in a sustainable agriculture programme developed with Truterra , LLC in 2018 . Through the programme , now led by Primient , Tate & Lyle helps its customers advance the adoption of regenerative farming practices that restore soil health and gain insight into the impact they are helping to drive .
Working with environmental charity Earthwatch Europe and Nanjing Agricultural University in eastern China , the company supports growers of stevia , used to make the leading plant-based sweetener on the market , to reduce their environmental impact while reaping productivity and economic gains . “ Through our farmer partnerships , we use science and technology to demonstrate that more sustainable and regenerative practices that restore soil health are good for the planet AND the farmer .”
This new way of connecting those working on the farm to those creating the food we eat presents a big opportunity : healthier , more productive land , food brands demonstrating positive change , and a chance to capture carbon while reducing emissions .
