Through a new, first-of-its-kind partnership, Nestlé and the World Farmers' Organisation (WFO) will join efforts to help make food systems more resilient to climate change. Nestlé and the WFO will advocate for fair policies and practical solutions, such as regenerative agriculture, that empower farmers and help them adapt to climate change.

Arnold Puech d'Alissac, president at the World's Farmers Organisation commented, "Farmers are facing the challenges of climate change every day, but they are also driving the solutions. Real change demands holistic approaches and collaboration across the value chain. This partnership with Nestlé aims to lead by example, showing how farmers and industry can work together, with trust and respect, to build food systems that are fair, resilient, and sustainable for people and the planet."

The two organizations will collaborate to understand farmers' challenges, to promote awareness of regenerative agriculture, to strengthen farmers' capacities, and to co-develop viable farming models that can also inspire and attract the next generation of farmers.

"Nestlé relies on 600 000 farmers globally to ensure a sustainable supply of its raw materials," said Chris Hogg, global head of Public Affairs at Nestlé. "Farmers, who are deeply aware of today's crop production challenges, are highly proficient at adapting and finding ways to work with the planet's natural resources to produce food. By partnering with the WFO, we want to put farmers at the center and share their insights and concerns to help inform food policies."

The World Farmers' Organisation (WFO) represents over one billion farmers globally from national organizations and agricultural cooperatives in more than 50 countries. Like Nestlé, the WFO prioritizes enabling action on climate change from the ground up, advancing regenerative, climate-resilient agriculture, and strengthening farming communities and rural economies.
