Community Engagement

Cargill has a long history of supporting partnerships that advance social and environmental priorities in China and around the world.

In China, Cargill empower local farmers with trainings that boost yields, raise incomes, and promote sustainable agriculture practices. Our partnership with the World Food Programme in Songyuan, Jilin, applies insurance and futures products and integrated water-fertilizer management to strengthen corn growers’ resilience against climate and market volatility.
In China, Cargill has collaborated with the China Development Research Foundation to initiate the "Regenerative Agriculture Research and Practice Project". This has led to the establishment of the "China Agricultural University Damingshan Regenerative Agriculture Research Institute" in partnership with the local government of Damingshan County, Hebei Province, to strengthen theoretical research and practice of regenerative agriculture in China, helping contribute to China's green transformation of agriculture and "dual carbon" goals.
In 2015, Cargill officially launched the Nutrition Meal program in China, which provides children in underdeveloped regions with nutritious supplementary meals, scholarships, and improvements to school cafeteria facilities to boost their nutritional levels and support their healthy growth. Since its launch, the program has benefited more than 6,000 children and donated over 340,000 nutritious meal kits.
In FY2025, our employees in 30+ locations across China contributed more than 5,500 volunteer hours – part of the 77,000 hours Cargill employees gave globally to their communities.
