Applegate

Big news! Applegate is making its biggest commitment yet to regenerative agriculture. By the end of 2025, our goal is that 100 percent of APPLEGATE® beef hot dogs will be sourced from verified regeneratively raised beef.   We believe that regenerative grazing is an essential way to care for animals and the land. After all, holistic grazing has been shown to reduce erosion, boost biodiversity and help to sequester carbon.   Implementing this change across its entire beef hot dog portfolio is expected to contribute to the regeneration of 6 million acres of grasslands. This could increase the regenerative acreage of our suppliers by more than 2,200 percent!   Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eUyJv4UY #regenerativeagriculture #regen #regenerativeleadership #regenerativeag #regenerativefarming #regenerativefuture

Changing The Meat We Eat®. How do we do it? By investing in the health of our communities and the next generation of eaters. To that end, we are proud to share that Applegate is contributing $50,000 to FoodCorps to fund food education and access in New Jersey schools. - Why New Jersey? For one, it’s our home state! But there’s another reason. New Jersey may be rightly called the Garden State, but there remain areas where children struggle to access wholesome food. FoodCorps partners in cities including Camden, where one-third of the population lives below the poverty line, compared to a nationwide average of 12.6%. - Why FoodCorps? FoodCorps has a proven track record – and an ambitious goal that we support: for all kids to have access to food education and nourishing food in school by 2030. As a mission-based company, we believe that we are part of something bigger. By educating young people on the importance of nourishing food, we are investing in the well being of our communities and in the next generation.

At Applegate, we cheered when landmark animal welfare laws, Prop 12 in California and Massachusetts Question 3, went into effect last year. Unfortunately, a challenge to them is afoot.   Last week, the House Agriculture Committee released an outline of the 2024 Farm Bill, which includes a version of the Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (EATS) Act (S.2019 and H.R.4417), which directly challenges these common-sense animal welfare laws.   Applegate is proud to stand alongside ButcherBox and 20 industry partners in opposing the EATS Act and its inclusion in the upcoming Farm Bill.   To learn more about the fight, visit: https://lnkd.in/eHSRXHan

Happy Earth Week! Here at Applegate, we’re doing our part to preserve the planet by investing in regenerative agriculture.

We’re inspired by farmers and ranchers who have a vision for strong, sustainable and competitive food systems. That’s why we’ve teamed up with American Farmland Trust (AFT) and donated $50,000 to its Brighter Future Fund grant program. We’re invested in seeing the next generation of fresh food providers secure a foothold in the industry and, in turn, help us make good on our mission: Changing The Meat We Eat.    AFT’s message is simple and clear: #NoFarmsNoFood. To learn how you can support their effort to help underserved farmers and ranchers build, grow and sustain their operations, please visit: www.farmland.org.
