Improving farm economics | Nestlé

Our commitment: Improve farm economics among the farmers who supply us



Our commitment: Roll out the Rural Development Framework to understand the needs of farmers

Building long-term farming futures

If farms do not generate enough income, they will not attract and retain young farmers. Already, the farming population is ageing, and fewer than 5% of farmers in rural areas are under 35. Improving farm economics and ensuring viable futures for farmers are essential if we are to achieve long-term supplies of safe, quality raw materials.

Progress against our objectives
