Company has nominated farmers from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Kenya, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States for Climate Positive Leaders Program.
Corteva, Inc. has announced the 19 global and regional recipients of its 2022 Climate Positive Leaders Program, a nomination-based farmer and rancher recognition initiative. The recipients are early adopter producers who are successfully implementing, scaling, and sharing climate positive practices. Representing Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Kenya, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, these farmers have adopted a wide range of innovative systems and approaches that uniquely support their productivity goals while protecting natural resources.
Farmers were nominated by regional third parties including grower groups, nonprofit organizations, universities, or other technology advisers, and were judged by a panel of global agriculture industry leaders based on program criteria. The 10 global leaders will receive lifetime membership, training and other opportunities from Global Farmer Network®, enabling them to share their experiences with other farmers as well as engage broadly about agriculture industry. Nine regional leaders will also work with the Global Farmer Network team to expand their skills to lead conversations to advance the adoption of climate positive farming practices.
“These leaders have proven that sustainability does not have to come at the expense of profit or productivity,” said Ashish Batra, Global Regulatory Affairs and R&D Sustainability Leader, Corteva Agriscience. “We’re providing farmers a global platform to broadly share their successes and challenges to highlight how the agriculture industry can meet the world’s growing food and fuel demands while protecting valuable land and water resources.”
