ADM partners with Klim to expand regenerative agriculture program in Germany

ADM, a global leader in agricultural solutions, has announced a new partnership with AgriTech company Klim to extend its re:generations program into Germany. The program, which already operates in the UK and Poland, promotes regenerative farming practices by offering financial and agronomic support to farmers. This expansion is part of ADM’s broader commitment to supporting sustainable agriculture and reducing carbon emissions across the globe.

Through re:generations, farmers in Germany will receive financial incentives for implementing regenerative practices on their land. These practices include precise fertilizer application, conservation tillage, cover cropping, and enhancing biodiversity. The goal is to enroll 60,000 acres (about 24,281 hectares) by 2025, with a focus on wheat, oil seed rape, and soy crops.

“We’re excited to support farmers in strengthening their businesses and their futures across Europe, including with the expansion of our re:generations program into Germany,” said Candy Siekmann, director of Climate Smart Agriculture Origination at ADM. He emphasized the program’s unique ability to connect every part of the agricultural value chain, from the farm to the consumer, while providing tools that help farmers position their operations for a more sustainable future.

Klim, known for its data-driven approach to regenerative farming, will assist with monitoring, reporting, and verifying the impact of these practices. The partnership will leverage over 30 key performance indicators, allowing farmers to assess their regenerative methods’ effectiveness in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving soil health. These metrics will also contribute to Scope 3 emissions inventories for both ADM and its partners.

Robert Gerlach, CEO of Klim, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting the potential of the combined efforts to drive a large-scale shift toward more sustainable farming.

The initiative also includes expert training from Klim’s agronomists, helping farmers adopt both new and proven regenerative practices. By offering these resources, ADM aims to support a broad range of farmers—both those experienced in regenerative farming and those new to the practice—while helping them meet long-term sustainability goals.

This expansion into Germany aligns with ADM’s global objective of supporting regenerative agriculture on 5 million acres by 2025, underlining its commitment to sustainability in agriculture.
