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.
