Cargill has been recognised for its innovation in the agriculture industry with two 2025 BIG Innovation Awards, presented by the Business Intelligence Group in the following categories:

Agriculture Organisation: Awarded to Cargill for its work reimagining what is possible for the future of food and agriculture by driving innovation across the global supply chain. In the past year, Cargill has leaned into innovations that improve gut health, expand protein options, enhance the health and nutrition of consumer favourite foods, and advance crop innovations, all while delivering with sustainable outcomes in mind to further our mission of “Nourishing the world.”

Product: Awarded to Cargill for its Winter Crop Innovation. Cargill is partnering with Forever Green Initiative, at the University of Minnesota, to study winter camelina and domesticated pennycress, including farming techniques adapted to growing conditions in the Upper Midwest. This collaboration and innovation has the potential to improve soil health, increase economic benefits for farmers, produce more protein-rich animal feed, and provide another source of renewable fuels.

“Innovation is the answer to some of the world’s biggest challenges. That is why at Cargill we innovate with purpose and commitment, delivering solutions that are better for our health and environment,” said Florian Schattenmann, Cargill Chief Technology Officer and Vice President of Innovation and R&D. “These awards reflect the creativity, dedication, and vision of our world-class team, as well as our commitment to delivering solutions that help create a more sustainable, accessible and resilient food supply chain.”

This marks the third consecutive year Cargill received recognition from the BIG Innovation Awards, reinforcing the company’s ongoing commitment to transforming the future of the food and agriculture industry.
