概要

SAN’s efforts to transform agriculture resulted in fieldwork in 16 countries, impacting +10,000 farmers producing 15 crops, from palm oil to spices and vegetables. In Europe and India, through the Nestlé Sustainable Sourcing Programs for Vegetables and Spices, SAN supported and assisted producers in the implementation of best practices for in-farm biodiversity enhancement, contributing to the conservation of natural ecosystems and the services they provide to agricultural landscapes. With the support of Ferrero, SAN coordinated the assembling of an intercontinental multi-disciplinary team of data and agricultural scientists to identify integrated pest management (IPM) and biodiversity-friendly practices in Malaysian oil palm plantations. In a banana and oil palm dominated landscape in Colombia, SAN is developing an innovative landscape tool, a “Blueprint” to assess sustainability in small territories. In Mexico, SAN led a project to support pollinator friendly agricultural practices by planting multi-functional vegetation zones in pilot maize and berry farms. The Intelligence Hub (iHub) was further developed as an information management solution to simplify decision making and implement best practices in livestock production in Brazil.
