Food buyers, processors and manufacturers are leading the movement to drive regenerative agriculture adoption through targeted commitments and investments in their value chains. The food industry knows that agriculture is a large part of its carbon footprint, and it can make an impact through its suppliers, farmers and ranchers. CIBO has the technology to link their investment with their supply shed to help food companies achieve their commitments, help the environment and support farmers, ranchers and their communities.
CIBO partners with companies that want to encourage farmers to adopt particular farming practices by configuring and deploying carbon-reducing incentive programs. We also work with companies who want to increase their low-carbon sourcing and aren’t sure where to target initial efforts. With CIBO, food companies can ensure their sustainability investment reduces environmental impact in their supply shed and enables them to source sustainable ingredients.
CIBO’s systems approach provides a clear pathway for companies to enact meaningful change across their supply chains. By offering a technology platform that combines tailored guidance with financial support, CIBO empowers companies to develop robust sustainability plans that drive tangible progress towards carbon emission reduction targets, and track progress against these targets across supply sheds, over time. CIBO Impact helps organizations begin by modeling carbon intensity to create baseline reports, understand the potential GHG impact of different program practices, and provide insight into regions where they will make the biggest impact while setting Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP) and SBTi compliant targets.
Companies often struggle to effectively engage farmers and implement meaningful change at a scale large enough to meet Scope 3 targets. CIBO provides scalable access to farmers by leveraging the trusted relationships and local expertise of Grower Network Partners (GNPs), who are already embedded within key agricultural communities. By partnering with GNPs, companies can deploy their Scope 3 programs through a network of agronomic advisors who understand the unique needs and challenges of farmers. These partnerships enable companies to deploy tailored sustainability programs and incentives that resonate with farmers, driving higher participation rates and accelerating the transition to regenerative agriculture. Through its innovative systems approach, CIBO empowers companies to mobilize their supply chains for positive environmental impact, paving the way for a more sustainable future in agriculture.
In an era where stakeholders increasingly demand transparency and accountability, companies face the daunting task of accurately measuring and reporting their environmental impact. CIBO’s platform utilizes advanced modeling and remote sensing capabilities to generate detailed insights into agricultural practices and their environmental outcomes. CIBO ensures the integrity and reliability of the data collected. This enables companies to develop science-based reporting frameworks that accurately capture the environmental benefits of regenerative agriculture practices. With CIBO’s innovative, evolving approach, companies can confidently demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and drive meaningful progress towards their environmental goals.
