Kashi, a Kellogg subsidiary, in 2015 began partnering with
farmers growing wheat, corn, rice, sorghum, dates and almonds to
help them transition from conventional to organic farming. Kashi
provided financial compensation and used transitional grains in

Kellogg partnerships exist in countries such as Spain, Australia
