“Faced with the concern of younger generations and their need for commitment, the objective of this initiative is to reinvent the way in which Nestlé communicates and promotes its many commitments, through video games. With more than 60% of the French population regularly playing video games, and even 80% of the population aged 14 to 34, gaming appears to be an essential medium. It is thus the ideal way to immerse the player in an immersive experience and to confront him with the issues of sustainable development related to agriculture. Farmtopia thus offers a real playful, fun experience, which provides players with the keys to understanding our issues related to regenerative agriculture, and involves them in our sustainable development actions by giving them the power to act directly alongside us. ”explains

The objectives of agroforestry are multiple: improving ecosystems, reducing damage caused by erosion, wind and flooding, helping to retain rainwater, creating an environment favorable to wildlife. This involves reconciling food production, the preservation of biodiversity, the intelligent use of natural resources and the sustainable management of soils and trees. Nestlé and its PURINA® brands with FRISKIES®, NATURNES®, NESQUIK® and CHOCAPIC® are mobilized on the FARMTOPIA™ project, to transform gaming into concrete support in the field, alongside their farmer partners. Regenerative agriculture, a pioneering commitment and priority of Nestlé for a more sustainable supply and respectful of biodiversity As part of its strategy to net zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050, Nestlé is accelerating its efforts and focusing on reducing the carbon impact of its supply chain , which requires the transition to more sustainable agriculture.
