In 2022, we teamed up with eight U.K. farms to pilot climate-friendly regenerative agriculture practices to achieve a 1,000-tonne carbon reduction. In 2023, our goal is to sign up more farmers and avoid over 10,000 tonnes of emissions. • Our work to improve the sustainability of marine ingredients continues by buying certified fishmeal and Cargill Aqua Nutrition releases its Sustainability Report 2022
