During the Annual Meat Conference, tackling sustainability was one of the topics we heard a lot about in many sessions

\\n

Each company takes different tactics to accomplish sustainable goals but many take their cues from corporations like Cargill.

\\n

For this episode of the podcast, we wanted to talk with Heather Tansey, Cargill\\u2019s sustainability director for animal protein on what the company is doing to work on its long-term plan of sustainability.

\\n

Tansey discussed how Cargill comes up with its goals and targets for its sector of the industry. She then dives into the focus of sustainability in the industry and what Cargill is doing to set its standard for the future.

\\n

Cargill also continues to work on the BeefUp Sustainability initiative and its efforts to combat food waste.

\\n

Next, Tansey laid out some of the projects the company is working on including the grassland restoration throughout the west part of the United States and Canada.

\\n

Another item touched on is Cargill\\u2019s ability to watch sustainability throughout its supply chain since it\\u2019s a large corporation.
