P&G Beauty and Ingredion Indiana Corn Sustainability Project

Improving soil health in the Mississippi River Basin is a critical need in Indiana to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, sequester carbon, and improve water quality. P&G Beauty is partnering with our key suppliers for histidine, Ingredion and Ajinimoto to engage Indiana farmers to enter data into the Fieldprint Platform and encourage continuous improvement on these critical resource concerns. This baseline will guide our future support to farmers throughout Indiana and allow us to demonstrate how Indiana farmers are helping contribute solutions towards our science based targets.

Engagement Targets

Notes: (1) I Minor fluctuations in the number of retained growers is expected from year to year. These fluctuations may be due to year-over-year crop rotation effects or other factors beyond the control of the project. Enrolled acres represent the total number of acres on an individual farm in a specific year. The ability to report enrolled acres is based on the Fieldprint Project Standard requirement that individual growers enrolled in projects enter at least 10% of the acres managed for a specific crop. (2) Entered acres represent the actual number of enrolled acres for which data is entered in the Fieldprint Platform for analysis.

Objectives

Support 100% of participating farmers in understanding the sustainability impacts of their current management decisions through use of the Fieldprint Platform in Year One.
2022
First Party Verified

Year 2 of innovative N usage model piloted by grower on corn fields.  CO2 tracked versus baseline year.  Different field used than year one due to rotation.  In 2023 rotation will be back to original field from the project.  Annual differences in weather and yield mean more years of data needed before conclusions can be drawn.

2022
Third Party Verified

Worked with P&G to pay the grower to adopt new N application technology to reduce GHG footprint of participating fields
