General Mills' Shauna Sadowski on grounding regenerative agriculture at General Mills

Shauna Sadowski is the head of sustainability in naturals and organics at General Mills — and where her passion and her role intersect are through regenerative agriculture. The term might sound about vague, or a bit hippie-dippy, but for Sadowski, it's actually about grounding agricultural practices in the outcomes for the crops and the land. Pursuing regenerative practices for General Mills' agricultural suppliers focuses specifically on soil health, above-ground biodiversity and resilience in the surrounding agricultural communities. 

"Regenerative agriculture is an opportunity, a way to bring everyone into the conversation," she said.
