This new report examines how organisations across the hospitality and foodservice sector can help accelerate the transition to regenerative agriculture and deliver meaningful environmental and social impact.
With 2024 recorded as the hottest year on record and extreme weather continuing to disrupt food supply chains, the report highlights the urgent need to rewire farming systems to build resilience and restore nature.
Through detailed analysis and interviews with farmers, manufacturers, and foodservice operators, the report explores how businesses can support the transition to regenerative farming, while ensuring impact is measurable and credible.
It features case studies from organisations including Nestlé, McCain, McDonald’s, Compass Group, Fresh Direct and Wahaca, each demonstrating the power of partnership to deliver systemic change.
For Nestlé Professional, regenerative agriculture is central to its sustainability strategy, with 20% of key ingredients already sourced from farms adopting regenerative agriculture practices, a target met a year ahead of schedule in 2024. The business is now aiming to source 50% regeneratively by 2030.
Julia Jones, head of sustainability and corporate communications at Nestlé Professional UK & Ireland, said: “Regenerative agriculture represents one of the most powerful tools we have to protect the food system.
“But scaling it requires partnership and collaboration between farmers, manufacturers and hospitality operators to share risk, align on measurement, and drive real, lasting change. This report offers the insight and evidence needed to help the industry turn ambition into action.”
