Environmental Stewardship - Indiana Corn and Soy

Environmental Stewardship

Caring for the Land for Future Generations

Since the dawn of farming, farmers have been stewards of the land – protecting it for the good of their crops, the environment and future generations. Through the use of modern technology and regenerative crop practices like planting cover crops, they care about protecting our environment. Learn more about farmer sustainability efforts here. Maybe you can apply some of their practices to your own gardens.

This panel was recorded for SNI Global’s virtual event: From Farm Gate to Dinner Plate – Exploring the Pathway of Soy Foods.

Farmers Take Care of the Land

Indiana farmers are working to protect the environment and sustainability is happening on family farms every day. Like you, they care about keeping the land healthy.

Farmers Recycle Too

Recycling is an easy way to reduce your carbon footprint to help the planet. Sustainability practices like recycling are very important to Indiana farmers.
