Adams Group Receives 2026 Climate Leader Award for Regenerative Agriculture from The Climate Collaborative

(WOODLAND, CA) - March 13, 2026 - Adams Group, a fifth-generation, family-owned food ingredients company, has been named the 2026 Climate Leader in Regenerative Agriculture by the Climate Collaborative. The award was presented at the 2026 Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, California.

The Climate Collaborative's Climate Leader Awards recognize companies taking meaningful, measurable action to address climate change across their supply chains. Adams Group was honored in the Regenerative Agriculture category for its multi-year commitments to regenerative and organic farming systems, domestic supply chain development, and deep investment in farmer partnerships across the United States, East Africa, and beyond.

"For us, regenerative agriculture isn't a marketing message - it's a purchasing commitment, a farmer relationship, and a multi-year investment," said Shrene White, Chief Sourcing Officer at Adams Group. "This recognition reflects the work of the farmers we partner with and the long-term vision the Adams family has held for generations. We're proud to be part of a growing movement that puts the health of the land and farmers first."

"Regenerative agriculture is one of the most important opportunities the food industry has to address climate change while strengthening the resilience of our supply chains," said Courtney Pineau, Executive Director of the Climate Collaborative. "Adams Group's deep investment in farmer partnerships and long-term organic and regenerative sourcing demonstrates the kind of leadership and commitment needed to accelerate this transition. We are proud to recognize their commitment and meaningful progress in advancing regenerative agriculture."

Adams Group is the largest domestic manufacturer of organic lecithin in the United States and the only North American producer of organic oils and lecithin suitable for use in infant formula. Across grains and seeds, Adams supplies approximately 21 million pounds of certified organic product annually, including a nearly 2.5x expansion of organic sorghum production to support emerging food categories and help farmers transition more acreage to organic management. In 2025, Adams supplied over 40 million pounds of certified organic oils across North America, including more than 1.08 million pounds of Regenerative Organic Certified® avocado oil from Ethiopia, and sources over 50 percent of the global organic avocado oil supply.

These sourcing commitments reflect years of investment in infrastructure, grower relationships, and organic transitions, supporting farmer livelihoods while building supply chains that prioritize traceability, integrity, and long-term resilience.

The recognition also extends to Marianne's, Adams Group's retail brand, which carries Regenerative Organic Certified® avocado oil and Organic Beef Tallow, bringing the company's agricultural values directly to home kitchens nationwide through Amazon, Sprouts, and other retailers.
