ADM has added a segregated supply chain option to its regeneratively sourced flour offering.
The flour supplier said this provides greater traceability and transparency from farm to mill, while continuing to deliver the consistent quality and performance customers rely on.
It noted it was working directly with participating growers, physically separated the regenerative wheat and managing its journey through the supply chain.
The transition has been designed to make more sustainable choices easier for independent and craft bakers, many of whom are looking for simple, credible ways to respond to increasing consumer interest in how food is produced and sourced.

It builds on ADM’s successful 2024 launch of its Nature’s Gold Baker’s Bread Flour and expansion of its regenerative agriculture programme into the UK.
“Since launching Nature’s Gold, we’ve seen strong engagement from both growers and customers who want to play a role in supporting regenerative agriculture,” said Ashley Fuller, managing director at ADM Milling UK. “Moving from a mass balance to a segregated supply chain is the natural next step in that journey.”
ADM provides technical and financial support to farmers for regenerative practices that help improve soil health, biodiversity, and crop resilience, as well as cutting down on carbon emissions. It also works with specialist partners to help monitor and measure on-farm emissions data, and organises visits to farms to give customers the opportunity to see regenerative practices first hand and speak directly with the farmers implementing them.
Another sustainability measure from ADM is its use of zero-tailpipe-emission electric heavy goods vehicles to transport wheat between farm and mill, and then the flour to bakery customers. These form parts of its long-term, integrated programme, which has been named a finalist in the Sustainability Initiative of the Year category of the Baking Industry Awards 2026.
