The Solution
In collaboration with Syngenta and our partners Kennedy Rice Mill LLC, Supreme Rice and Regrow Ag LLC, Kellogg Company is conducting a program with Louisiana rice producers to help improve farm return on investment and agronomic outcomes. The program focuses on opportunities for irrigation, fertilizer optimization and soil health management.
While mitigating the risk of adopting new practices, rice growers can demonstrate positive environmental outcomes. This partnership helps growers identify which practices make the most sense on their operation to mitigate greenhouse gases. As a part of the Kellogg Origins™ program, this project is designed to reward farmers in the Kellogg rice supply chain for the environmental outcomes provided through their management decisions.
Over a five-year program, partners will work with qualifying growers to provide technical assistance to adopt an eligible new practice that meets agronomic goals and desired environmental outcomes. Growers may be eligible for an annual financial incentive based on the estimated greenhouse gas emission reductions achieved by adopting that practice.
