Cargill introduces new starch sustainability programme

Cargill has launched a new waxy corn sustainability programme in Europe to ensure a long-term sustainable crop supply for food starch production.

 

The Waxy Corn Promise will see Cargill source waxy corn 100% sustainably from European farmers, and the programme will aim to address key sustainability challenges in Europe’s waxy corn growing regions.

 

According to Cargill, the programme will achieve this through the protection of biodiversity, soil and water quality preservation and the optimisation of water use on farms, and action plans will be implemented and reviewed every year.
