Nestlé, ofi launch global agroforestry initiative to cut 1.5M tons of CO₂
April 23, 2025 | ESG News |
Nestlé and ofi (olam food ingredients) have launched their largest joint agroforestry initiative, aiming to cut over 1.5 million tons of CO₂ emissions by 2055. The program will train 25,000 farmers in Brazil, Côte d’Ivoire, and Nigeria in climate-smart practices such as agroforestry and crop residue management. It includes planting 2.8 million trees across 72,000 hectares, financial incentives for tree upkeep, and AI tools like the Carbon Stock Monitoring system and AtSource Digital Footprint Calculator to track impact. The initiative also promotes environmental stewardship, emphasizing compliance with the African Regional Sustainability Standard (ARS) and the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). This aligns with Nestlé’s 2050 Net Zero roadmap and ofi’s Cocoa Compass, advancing sustainable cocoa production.
