“ Since the launch of the programme in 2024, the farm group’ s greenhouse gas emissions are already 12 % lower than the rest of the cooperative’ s farms. The action plans aim to reduce emissions by a further 7 % from the original baseline within 5 years.”
Regenerative agriculture and upskilling farmers“ Häagen-Dazs is synonymous with the highest quality ice cream, and therefore it’ s essential that we source our ingredients from where they are best,” adds Benjamin Duché, Regenerative Agriculture Lead, Europe & Australia at General Mills.
“ For dairy – the most important ingredient in our ice cream- our priority is sourcing as much as we can as close to our plant as possible. The milk and cream used in Häagen-Dazs products is overwhelmingly French, mostly coming from 300 dairy farms in the vicinity of our Arras site.”
