CARGILL: Destroying the World’s Forests | A Burning Legacy

‪@Cargill‬ is the largest privately owned company in the United States and the largest agribusiness company in the world. The Cargill-MacMillan family, who own 87% of the company, has more billionaires than any other family on Earth.

In August 2023, Cargill announced record revenues of $177 billion dollars on the back of global food price inflation. Approximately $1 billion of these earnings will be distributed among roughly 20 members of the Cargill-MacMillan family.

Cargill presents both the greatest opportunity and the greatest obstacle to removing the destruction of nature from the agricultural supply chain. By consistently dragging its feet and resisting change, making bold commitments, and failing to abide by them, Cargill has become one of the largest parts of the problem. It is time for the Cargill-MacMillan family to step in and eliminate human rights abuses and the destruction of nature from Cargill’s supply chain.
