Whole Grains Nourish People and the Planet
Thanks for celebrating International Whole Grain Day with us on November 16! Our 2021 celebration was focused on why whole grains are good for people and the planet.

Although roughly one third of global greenhouse gas emissions originate from our food system, whole grains are less resource intensive than nearly any other food group, and can play an important role in environmental sustainability. In the wake of the COP26 meeting earlier this month, we explored climate-friendly whole grains and regenerative agriculture in further detail on our blog.
