Brought to you by The ReGen Brands Podcast
This Week’s Episode:
Highlights:
💃 Meet: “Reggaeton In A Bottle”
😂 How Juan & Andres met in LA
🙏 Inspiration from the “Valley of Longevity”
💰 The huge opportunity to serve the Latin consumer
😍 Their 40-acre regenerative organic farm in Ecuador
🏅 The rigor of USDA Organic certification
🤳 Why TikTok is so important
🤤 The competitive advantage of “regenerative flavor”
🤩 How they support indigenous + female farmers
💥 Why retailers are the “gatekeepers” to a regenerative future
"Because with a lot of 'better for you' products that are very sustainable, it's a little boring, it's a little granola, it's a little too nature. Reggaeton is kind of like Spanish hip hop. A lot of times music communicates everything from love, to relationships, to culture. So why don't we make it fun and loud and bold and use these 'languages' to be able to communicate cool things and to make this much more pop culture?"

🚜 ADM Grows North American Regenerative Agriculture Program, Launches Significant Expansion Initiative
After successfully enrolling more than 1 million acres in 2022, ADM is continuing to invest to expand re:generations™ to cover 2 million acres in 2023, on its way to a goal of 4 million acres globally by 2025.
The expansion will offer producers spanning 18 states and three Canadian provinces financial incentives and technical support for implementing practices including cover cropping, improved nutrient management, and conservation tillage.
ADM is incentivizing multiple practices and performance outcomes spanning crops including corn, soybeans, peanuts and wheat. Producers who enroll receive premium payments ranging up to $25 an acre per year, and in some instances also receive an additional per bushel premium for grain delivered to ADM.

🏃♂️ Quick Hits:
🕺 But wait, there’s more!
The investment will bring climate-smart practices to more than 100,000 acres of farmland, nearly double the amount required to make DiGiorno’s pizza dough.
The company, along with suppliers ADM and Ardent Mills, will provide technical and financial support for wheat farmers to improve soil health and biodiversity through practices like planting cover crops or reducing tillage and pesticide use.
