When Cargill entered the stevia market more than a decade ago, standards for sustainable and ethical production did not exist. Hear firsthand how we built rigorous, industry-leading standards from the ground up to protect product, people and planet.
In this Q&A with Stuart Schulz, Cargill North America stevia sustainability lead, and Alyssa Leyva, product line manager for high-intensity sweeteners, you'll discover:
- Agricultural stevia sustainability practices that led to Cargill becoming the first stevia supplier whose entire grower network was benchmarked at FSA 3.0 Silver Level by SAI Platform's Farm Sustainability Assessment.
- A next-gen approach for EverSweet® stevia sweetener from our Avansya partnership with dsm-firmenich, which produces stevia's sweetest compounds (Reb M and D) more sustainably via fermentation.
- Successive Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) validating EverSweet's environmental impact advantages.
