ADM Sets Scope 3 Emissions Target
ADM has announced a new commitment to reduce the company’s Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2035 against a 2019 baseline. Scope 3 refers to emissions associated with the company’s supply chain, such as from purchased goods, upstream transportation, and the processing of sold products.
The target builds on ADM’s ambitious Strive35 sustainability goals to reduce absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 25%, energy intensity by 15%, water intensity by 10%, and achieve a 90% landfill diversion rate by 2035. Read more.

Ruminal acidosis is a metabolic disease related to the digestibility of certain animal feeds. Cereals like corn, barley and wheat are rapidly fermentable carbohydrates that support increased milk production but can also generate excess quantities of volatile fatty acids in a cow’s rumen as feed is digested.
