We work with leaders across the agricultural value chain to meet growing demands for food, fuel and fiber in ways that preserve the forests, fresh water, oceans and other natural resources on which all people depend. We help companies in agribusiness, food and consumer products, and retail develop
and apply practical tools that integrate conservation principles into business decisions.

The world faces an enormous challenge in meeting growing demands for food, fiber and biofuels without
eroding the natural resources and healthy ecosystems that sustain humanity. Food production alone
is expected to double from current levels by the year 2050. New technologies and better practices in
farming, ranching, fishing and conservation will be needed to produce more while shrinking the “ecological
footprint” of agriculture.

Corporate leaders can create powerful incentives for sustainability in supply chains for food and agriculture. CI assists companies in creating incentives for widespread adoption of good farming and conservation practices and landscape planning to protect and restore healthy ecosystems.
