Sustainability by the Numbers (U.S. - 2024)

The use of sustainable practices in agriculture currently covers 44% of the total agricultural area. Implementing crop rotation alongside no-till methods has led to an average productivity increase of 12%. Regenerative agriculture has the potential to reduce emissions by up to 40% of CO2 equivalents per hectare. The sustainable food market is expected to grow to $264 billion by 2025, reflecting a significant trend. Additionally, the demand for traceable and certified products is increasing by 18% annually.
