SALISBURY, NC. — Bartlett, a US-based grain merchandiser and processor, has formed a partnership with grocery retailer Ahold Delhaize USA and global snacking leader Kellanova to reduce Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from wheat farming across the value chain, the companies announced on June 17.
The companies said the pilot program will leverage financial investments to support the adoption of regenerative agricultural practices among wheat farmers in North Carolina. The wheat harvested and milled from these farms will be used alongside conventionally grown wheat to produce Kellanova’s Cheez-It and Club crackers. These products will be sold at the local brand stores of Ahold Delhaize USA in 2025.
