Industrial agriculture’s reliance on monocropping and overuse of highly hazardous pesticides and fertilizers contributes to topsoil depletion, biodiversity loss, water pollution, the climate crisis, and human illness. Green Giant's parent company – B&G Foods – is a major food manufacturer, owning other iconic brands such as Cream of Wheat, Ortega, and Spice Islands. As a major food manufacturer, B&G Foods, has the power to drive adoption of regenerative agriculture – a holistic approach that rebuilds soil health, sequesters carbon, increases yields sustainably, reduces pollution, and mitigates climate change. But, unlike many large agricultural companies, B&G is not adopting regenerative practices. The company is failing to act on harmful pesticides that endanger consumers, farmers and farmworkers, agricultural communities, and pollinators. Tell B&G Foods: Clean up your Crops |
