Applegate Boasts Regenerative Agriculture, Animal Welfare & More

Leading natural and organic meat brand Applegate has released its third Mission Report, which details the company's progress in regenerative agriculture, animal welfare, farmer support, and emerging research exploring the relationship between farming practices and the nutritional quality of food. In addition to this, the company has also released two new initiatives — Groundwork and Regenerative Health.

Groundwork is a biodiversity and farmer-investment platform supporting soil health, habitat restoration, and conservation partnerships. Regenerative Health, on the other hand, is a research initiative investigating how regenerative agricultural methods may influence the nutrient composition of meat.

Applegate's report quantifies the organic meat brand's impact through metrics including the conversion of 10.8 million acres to certified regenerative management, support for 13.2 million animals raised under high animal welfare standards, avoidance of an estimated 9.3 tons of antibiotics through its No Antibiotics Ever policy, and prevention of 106,300 tons of soil erosion in 2025 alone.
