Steve Presley: Can global food companies make the shift to regenerative agriculture?

Can global food companies make the shift to regenerative agriculture?

Sharing the inside scoop on how the world's largest food company aims to reach net zero by 2050, Nestlé North America CEO Steve Presley joins TED's Lindsay Levin to discuss the progress they've made so far and where they're investing for sustainability. A big focus will be regenerative agriculture -- producing food in a way that helps the planet instead of harming it -- by working with farmers and other partners across the entire food production process.

One of the world’s largest food companies is betting billions to transform how its products are grown, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050. With 95 percent of American households using its brands, the company works with over a million farmers globally to implement practices like crop rotation and low-till farming. Achieving these changes at scale means sharing risk with farmers and investing in renewable energy, packaging, and supply chains. The challenge is immense, but each step is designed to benefit business, communities, and the planet.
