Creating Better Days for Farmers and Our Food Systems

This doesn't just improve Elsie's bottom line, but raises her income and ensures that together, our food system is secure for future generations. 

It's also why I am representing Kellogg Company in Marrakesh, Morocco this week for the UN Climate Summit, also known as COP22. Last year Kellogg leaders traveled to Paris for COP21, where a major agreement was created to try to keep temperatures from continuing to rise.

The Paris Agreement was a pivotal turning point, no doubt. We agreed something needs to be done now, now we must execute. Which is why this year's summit is focused on demonstrating progress against climate commitments and driving urgency behind implementation.

Kellogg has made a number of commitments to support the global effort to address climate change, including our science-based targets to reduce emissions in our own operations and helping direct suppliers do the same.

And we know there's so much more we can and must do, which is why we've expanded our commitments. We are fighting hunger and feeding potential with a goal to help create three billion "Better Days"  for people around the world by 2025.

Kellogg is excited to use our leadership voice and to continue building partnerships to bring attention to these important issues. We know that working together with governments, multilateral organizations and other companies and non-profits, we can achieve our ambitious goals and help families flourish and thrive.
