HOW WE GROW YOUR SOUP

At Campbell Soup Company, we've been practicing sustainable agriculture in making our delicious soups because it's the right thing to do, and it's part of who we are. And we'll continue to do so because it's more important than ever today and in the future.

Why We Care About Farming

At Campbell Soup Company, we choose to support today's and tomorrow's farmers — not just because we care about the future of American farming, but also because we care what goes into the soup that feeds your family. Through ongoing involvement with tomorrow's leaders in agriculture, we help insure that the ingredients in our soup are cultivated with care.

So when you enjoy classic recipes like Vegetable Beef, Chicken with Rice, Minestrone, Chicken Gumbo and New England Clam Chowder, you can enjoy knowing your soup comes from a company that cares about American farming, too.

Our Commitment to Quality

We have an uncompromising commitment to the quality of the ingredients that go into our soups. As Hasan Bolkan, our Director of Vegetable Research & Development says, "We work diligently to ensure quality at every step, and it starts with the seed."

But we at Campbell care not only about the ingredients, but also about their source—the farm. We know that since we want to continue to give our consumers the very best soups, we must act as responsible stewards of farms and farmland. That's why for the last 20 years, we've taken an active role in developing sustainable agriculture practices.

In 20 Years We've Helped to Develop:

  • Better water management practices, which include drip irrigation and holding ponds to reduce runoff and conserve water
  • Conservation tillage to reduce fuel usage and greenhouse gas emissions
  • Disease-resistant varieties to reduce pesticide usage
  • Environmentally friendly, integrated pest-management programs
  • Cover crop and crop rotation programs to improve soil health, prevent erosion and conserve water
