GreenField Incorporated and MKC Expand Existing Partnership to Provide Regeneratively-Farmed Ingredients to Food Manufacturers
Expansion follows GreenField's successful harvest seasons and recent CPG partnerships, onboarding additional farmers to regenerative farming
WICHITA, Kan., Nov. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- GreenField Incorporated, the leader in scaling regenerative farming and offering Robots-as-a-Service to broadacre farmers, has expanded upon its existing partnership with full-service agricultural cooperative MKC to coordinate logistics for its latest consumer packaged goods (CPG) partners: regenerative, plant-based baking mix company Snacktivist Foods and premium pet food brand Canidae™.
Through this partnership expansion, MKC manages the intake, storage, and cleaning of crops – such as corn, soybeans, and sorghum – harvested by GreenField's robots, as well as coordinate delivery to B2B customers across the United States.
"GreenField's ability to foresee and address industry opportunities has contributed to MKC's growth while simultaneously benefitting our customers, partners, and overall industry," said Erik Lange, Chief Operating Officer, MKC. "As our industry continues to evolve, MKC is committed to investing in innovative technologies that are impactful to our agricultural systems."
"Our bots show up, swarm farmers' fields to cut down the weeds and replace some of the chemicals. Farmers take the crops to an MKC facility and MKC handles the process from there," said Clint Brauer, GreenField CEO. "We're pleased to supply healthy ingredients to leading food manufacturers."
GreenField has completed multiple seasons of testing and refining the robotics platform, and delivering the bots to farmers as a service, replacing some of the chemicals they would otherwise spray.
