Farm Gate 112: Nestlé: The great big regen corporation
When we think of regenerative food and farming, we tend to think of small to medium-scale farmers, supplying into small or perhaps independent supply chains. But what about big companies – what about massive corporations – can their supply chains be regenerative too? Nestlé has become the great big regen corporation – but who’s responsible for that decision, what does regen mean for a global food brand, and how do you deliver transition through such an enormous network of suppliers? I spoke to Emma Keller, Head of Sustainability, and Matt Ryan, the Regeneration Lead for Nestlé UK and Ireland.
