Global food industry leaders sign joint declaration to scale regenerative agriculture
19th May 2026
- 40 leading food and agriculture organisations, including Carlsberg, Diageo, FrieslandCampina, and Mondelēz have signed a shared declaration of intent to scale regenerative agriculture.
- Signatories commit their support for SAI Platform’s Regenerating Together Programme, designed to help companies transition food supply chains to regenerative agriculture.
- Coalition aims to tackle food system challenges including climate change, biodiversity loss and soil degradation.
40 leading organisations from across the global food and agriculture value chain, including Carlsberg, Diageo, FrieslandCampina, and Mondelēz have signed a shared declaration of intent in support of SAI Platform’s Regenerating Together Programme ahead of its upcoming launch. The declaration marks a significant step towards industry alignment on regenerative agriculture with signatories spanning vast global supply chains and varying production systems.
The declaration recognises that the challenges facing food systems – including climate change, biodiversity loss, soil degradation, water stress and pressure on farmer livelihoods – are deeply interconnected. It acknowledges that systemic change cannot be achieved in isolation, and that only through collaboration will ecosystem functionality, including soil health, biodiversity, water stewardship and climate resilience be achieved across the value chain.
The Regenerating Together Programme (RTP) provides a structured, practical framework designed to help the global food and beverage supply chain transition to regenerative agriculture. Developed with input from farmers, agronomists, NGOs and academia, the programme establishes a set of shared impact areas, outcomes and indicators, while allowing flexibility for local adaptation.
Through participation in the Programme, signatories are committing to working collectively to support the transition towards regenerative agriculture in ways that are credible, scalable, and grounded in real-world farming contexts. SAI Platform will host the public launch of the next phase of the Regenerating Together Programme in June 2026 at its upcoming Annual Event in Saskatoon, Canada.
“Securing this level of support is a pivotal moment in moving regenerative agriculture from ambition to action. The breadth and calibre of signatories is a clear signal that the industry is ready to leave fragmented approaches behind and work together towards meaningful change.
Dionys Forster, Director General, SAI Platform.
The Regenerating Together Programme is designed to bring the industry together on regenerative agriculture but critically also flexible enough to take into account local farming contexts. By aligning on clear outcomes and indicators, this declaration lays the groundwork for progress that is collaborative, measurable and scalable, helping to protect and strengthen agricultural systems for years to come.”
