help Danone FAQ
What does regenerative agriculture mean in Danone's sustainability program?
Danone defines it through three linked aims: protecting soil, water, and biodiversity, empowering farmers, and supporting animal health and welfare. It is broader than simply buying offsets because it changes farming practices in the supply chain.

What are Danone's 2030 regenerative agriculture targets?
Danone says it aims to cut methane emissions from fresh milk by 30% by 2030 and have 45% of key at-risk direct ingredients sourced from farms transitioning to regenerative agriculture by 2030. Those are supply-chain targets, not a claim that every Danone product already meets them. [Danone climate action](https://www.danone.com/group/sustainability/nature/driving-climate-action.html)
How does Danone work with farmers?
Danone uses tools such as its Environment Scorecard and Environment Handbook to assess practices for soil, biodiversity, and water. Its program involves farmers, field technicians, and outside experts, including WWF France in the development work.

Why are soil and water central to Danone's plan?
Danone links healthier soil with biodiversity, water retention, and carbon sequestration, all of which affect farm resilience. The company also says about 90% of its global water footprint is linked to agriculture, which explains why farm practices matter to its wider sustainability plan.
