Cargill has won 2023 Edison Awards for innovations in the food and agriculture and sustainability categories. The Edison Awards recognize some of the most innovative products and business leaders in the world.
This year, the company won the following Edison Awards for:
- GOLD - Cargill RegenConnect, which provides farmers a financial incentive for positive environmental outcomes through the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices. The program connects farmers to emerging environmental markets while enabling end-use customers to meet their sustainability commitments.
- GOLD - Galleon Broiler Microbiome Intelligence, an innovative analysis tool that leverages the power of artificial intelligence. The tool allows poultry farmers to determine the gut microbiome health of their flocks and its correlation to their management practices. Galleon provides insights and actions to help improve flock health and positively influence profitability and performance.
Both innovations demonstrate how Cargill is leveraging more than a century of experience in the food and agriculture industry to create impactful solutions for its global customers. Together, they show Cargill’s ability to innovate across a broad spectrum of challenges facing its customers and consumers.
