Nestlé is partnering with the Centre for No-Till Agriculture (CNTA) at Nkawie-Toase, in the Ashanti Region, to implement regenerative agricultural practices for maize in Ghana.
The company is transitioning to sustainable coffee farming in Côte d’Ivoire through the Nescafé Plan. In addition, it is also pioneering regenerative dairy farming by establishing the first net zero dairy farm in Skimmelkran, South Africa.
Net zero is the commitment to achieve zero carbon emission by 2050.
The Head of Corporate Communications and Public Affairs of Nestlé Central and West Africa, Patricia Ekaba, said climate change is one of the biggest risks to food production, impacting food security and people’s livelihoods. She said for this reason, food systems need to undergo a transformation to be more productive and sustainable to reduce hunger and provide a more stable source of income.
