Navigating Sustainable Agriculture: A Chat with Primient & Truterra

Your two guests:Gregg Allard, Truterra: Can provide overview of Truterra’s work with downstream customersLaura Kowalski, Global Sustainability Manager, Primient: Can provide sustainability specifics across enterprise and on work with TruterraLaura’s Bio:Laura leads sustainability at Primient. She has over 10 years of experience working in corporate sustainability. Laura has a Master’s degree in sustainable management from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Laura lives in Naperville, Illinois with her husband and 2 young boys. Gregg AllardGregg Allard leads the Commercial and Strategic Partnerships team at Truterra where he is responsible for building and implementing regenerative agriculture programs with food, fuel, feed and fiber companies.  These projects include both supply chain insetting and carbon offsetting projects to support the Truterra network of growers across the US. About PrimientPrimient is a leading producer of food and industrial ingredients made from plant-based, renewable sources. We deliver value through deep technical, commercial, and operational excellence that is backed by our long-standing corn wet milling heritage. Wherever we are in the process, from field to customer, our priorities are focused on ensuring we produce the safest, highest quality products through practices that uphold both our responsibility and commitments to our people and our planet.About TruterraTruterra is a leading agricultural sustainability business that offers consultation, tools and solutions for ag, food and CPG industries. Truterra works to advance and connect sustainability efforts throughout the food system at scale – from farmers to ag retailers to value chain collaborators including food and fiber companies. Truterra positions farmers for success by providing them tools and resources to establish a stewardship baseline, track progress on every field they farm, access conservation resources, and prepare for ecosystem services market opportunities.  Truterra was launched in 2016 by Land O'Lakes, Inc.    Primient + Truterra Working TogetherThe goal:advance sustainable agricultural practices on acres equivalent to the global annual corn procurement volume (1.2 million acres). Soil Carbon, Wind Erosion, and Soil Conservation metrics; as well as, Nitrogen Use Efficiency, Conservation Practices How are these items monitored?Deployed and Truterra insights score through the Truterra sustainability tool. Blog post on Primient/Truterra work for reference: https://primient.com/news/article/2023/02/leading-the-way-in-sustainable-agriculture Sustainable Supply Chain Detailscarbon markets/credits, which companies can purchase to offset their emissions, Then there’s what we call Sustainable Supply Chain,which refers to the act of monitoring and evaluating a company’s supply shed to understand the sustainability qualities for something like corn, in Primient’s case. Truterra helps them track and monitor to eventually be able to report for scope 3 purposes. It may oftentimes be the same practices farmers are doing (reducing tillage, cover crops etc) that result in carbon credits, but a company is able to then take credit for this quality within their supply chain.Truterra’s role is to bridge the gap between farmers and companies with sustainability goals who choose agriculture to be a part of their toolkit of solutions.QuestionsWhat is a sustainable supply shed?Why are companies interested in it? Why Primient is choosing to invest so heavily in this space? What crops or products are involved?How did Primient get started in this space?How does Truterra work as an integral part of the solution? How is the sustainability of the supply shed measured?Is this different than how carbon credits are measured?If I’m a farmer, what attributes are you specifically looking for in the corn that you procure? How do you determine the bushel of corn that is different from regular?We saw regenerative ag in action today, and it's clear that it's both an art and a science and no one size fits all.Are you looking to tell the farmer how to raise the crop?can you speak to the importance of a partner that understands farmers' different growing environments?We are Farm4Profit – and it’s our understanding that Truterra thinks profitability and sustainability can go hand in hand – how do you see this coming to life for a farmer like (Corey)? When does the juice become worth the squeeze?What else is important to cover today?SummaryChallengeWhat would you go back and tell yourself at age 18?

Growing with Purpose: What is Climate-Smart Agriculture?

Dylan Vaca | The DeLong Co., Inc                      CSC - Brand and Marketing Manager Who is Dylan?     Who is DeLong Co.?To update our listeners what is a brief explanation of the concept of climate-smart agricultureHow is climate change impacting global agricultural systems?Does policy impact them more than the climate change?What are the key challenges farmers face due to climate change?Climate-Smart Agriculture Practices What are some sustainable farming practices that can mitigate the impact of climate change?What role do cover crops play in enhancing soil health and climate resilience?What is the science between practices?  Is every case different?Policy and Financing for Climate-Smart Agriculture What policies or regulatory frameworks are in place to support climate-smart agriculture?How can governments incentivize farmers to adopt climate-smart practices?Are there any financial mechanisms available for farmers to access funds for climate-smart investments?Success Stories and Future Outlook Can you share any examples of successful climate-smart agriculture initiatives?How can consumers contribute to promoting climate-smart agriculture?What are the key challenges and opportunities for scaling up climate-smart agriculture practices?In your opinion, what does the future of climate-smart agriculture look like?How do you balance the adoption of climate-smart practices with the demands of market access and consumer preferences?How successful has the Grow Climate Smart program been?  Carbon, acres, etc…What is the goal?   How much does it pay?What else did we miss? Conclusion:Recap of key points and takeaways from the interview.ChallengeThanking the guest for their valuable insights & share contact information If you could go back to tell yourself something at age 18, what would you say? ·         The DeLong Company launched the new brand, Grown Climate Smart, which is dedicated to incentivizing and supporting the development of sustainable practices on farms. This brand is developed and managed by The DeLong Company Which was awarded a $40 million Climate-Smart Commodities USDA grant to develop and market a new brand that aims to track greenhouse gas reductions and  resulting from growers implementing climate-smart practices.o   The DeLong Company is a 6th generation family owned business with 38 grain, seed, agronomy and export logistics locations around the country. The DeLong Company is the largest U.S. exporter of containerized agricultural products.·         We have over 200,000 sustainably farmed acres producing grain enrolled in the program for 2023.o   - corn, soybeans, wheat, rye, sorghum, alfalfa·         The four practices we are encouraging farmers to do areo   Cover Cropso   Reduced or No Tillo   Nutrient Management Planso   Windbreak Establishments or Renovations Other Talking points about sustainable farming·         A key issue that the program seeks to address is the lack of a standardized definition of a Climate Smart Commodity. Grown Climate Smart hopes to not only establish a definition but provide clear examples and practices that meet climate-smart requirements.o   A CSC will be defined as a commodity produced on an acre of ground that employs a minimum of one high benefit NRCS practice, follows the general guidelines of the program, and is marketed and labeled as a CSC.o   The adoption of the practice should have a measurable impact on carbon reduction, and the commodity should be traceable in the supply chain. The implementation of this program will better define what a CSC is by identifying and communicating specific practices to be enrolled in a climate smart program, educating producers on CSC implementation practices, communicating and educating producers on how these CSC practices reduce GHG emissions and improve carbon sequestration, and marketing and labeling products as CSCs. Establishing a clear definition will enable CSCs to be effectively marketed to consumers.·         Importance of Soil Health: The significance of soil health in sustainable and regenerative farming practices. Healthy soil supports plant growth, sequesters carbon, improves water retention, and promotes biodiversity.·         Sustainable farming integrates three things: environmental health, economic profitability, and social and economic equity.·         Sustainable practices are becoming more the norm, and less niche but we still have considerable work to do.o   I have some statistics I can provide from the USDA regarding the 4 practice trends over time.
