As climate change accelerates, the way we produce and consume food must evolve. At Danone, we believe that building climate-resilient food systems is not just a necessity—it’s an opportunity to nourish the world more sustainably.
Recent years have brought unprecedented droughts to Central and Eastern Europe, threatening crops and livelihoods. In Romania, for example, over 100,000 hectares have turned to desert, with major losses in maize, sunflower, and soybeans. While local subsidies help stabilize the sector, true resilience demands more than financial support.
Our approach starts with modernized irrigation—precision systems that deliver water efficiently, even during dry spells. Through projects like Chance For All, we help farmers upgrade infrastructure and access state support, making every drop count.
Transitioning to regenerative agriculture is equally vital. By improving soil health, restoring biodiversity, and reducing methane emissions, we empower farmers to become climate leaders. Free training, innovative feed additives, and genomic testing are just some of the tools we provide to drive this transformation.
Education is at the heart of resilience. Our partnerships with local schools and industry offer hands-on training and scholarships, ensuring the next generation is equipped to face tomorrow’s challenges.
