Tyson Foods Inc. has committed to support improved environmental practices on 2 million acres of corn by the end of 2020. It is the largest-ever land stewardship commitment by a U.S. protein company and supports Tyson's recently announced goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 30% by 2030.
The 2 million-acre commitment, which was announced this week as part of the release of Tyson's newest sustainability report, aims to encourage grain farmers to adopt more efficient fertilizer practices and take additional measures to reduce water runoff and soil loss.
