How to Achieve GHG Goals and Millions of Acres in Regenerative Agriculture? Report from the Field and Next Steps: A “Scale Lab”

The Food Lab conducted a study, working with six major food companies, and concluded the most cost-effective way to reach GHG goals is to follow six assumptions and strategic approaches.

The experiences of the participating companies hinted that the impact at scale would increase, and program cost per unity may decrease only when strategic approaches are also adopted.
