How is McCain redefining its role as a food processor by embedding sustainability into every stage of the farm-to-fork value chain?

At McCain, sustainability is not an add-on. It is core to how we grow, produce, and deliver food. We are redefining our role by embedding regenerative agriculture at the farm level, improving resource efficiency at our manufacturing facilities, and reducing emissions and waste across the value chain. In India, this means working hand-in-hand with growers to adopt climate-smart practices, investing in water and energy-efficient technologies in our Mehsana plant, and optimising our cold chain distribution. Our farm-to-fork approach is designed to nourish both people and the planet.

Sustainability in agriculture is critical to India's future. How is McCain supporting growers with regenerative practices and climate-smart farming in India?
