Danone and Ingredion commit to sustainable agriculture and water use

Dive Brief:
Danone North America and Ingredion made new commitments to improve water stewardship and adopt sustainable agriculture practices on more than 1 million total acres of land as part of the Ceres and World Wildlife Fund AgWater Challenge. Launched in 2016, the AgWater Challenge encourages large food and beverage companies to be more conscious about their water usage. 
The AgWater Challenge added the focus on sustainable agriculture in August, which includes soil health and nutrient management through technological advancements and incentive programs. As part of its new commitments, Danone North America — which has participated in a previous round — will focus its efforts on land growing dairy feed and almonds, while Ingredion will center on corn, tapioca, potato, pulses and stevia.
