53 Cargill 2020 Annual Report
Use of soil
Responsible and sustainable land use for agriculture is a prior-
ity for Cargill. We are committed to develop innovative solutions
that protect the planet and are economically feasible for rural
producers. In this way, communities will have fair conditions for
their development. According to our Forest Protection Action
Plan, we treat these areas as one of our most important action
points. We are committed to ending deforestation in our agri-
cultural chains until 2030. To transform the supply chain so it
is free of deforestation and conversion (DCF or Deforestation
and Conversion Free) means to not convert indigenous veg-
etation for production purposes. We understand that agri-
culture and forests can and must coexist, and that this can
be done in an economically viable manner for farmers and
local communities, as expressed in our global forest policy.
Our actions to eliminate deforestation must be specific for
several contexts and offer proper incentives to engage farmers,
promote best agricultural practices, stimulate the adoption of
laws to protect forests and seek consensus among the many
stakeholders, to allow both forests and agriculture to prosper.
We work together with farmers, governments, environmental
organizations and members of the communities in which we
act in order to find practical and scalable solutions, policies
and commitments for forest protection and are proud of the
progress we have made. However, we know a lot remains to
be done.
