Sabarkantha (Gujarat) [India], June 6: Marking a significant milestone in its sustainability journey, McCain Foods India today announced the launch of its first Regenerative Agriculture Demonstration Farm in Hajipur village, Himmatnagar Taluka, in the district of Sabarkantha, Gujarat. The launch coincides with World Environment Day, underscoring McCain’s commitment to climate-smart agriculture and long-term resilience in farming.
This initiative is part of McCain’s global pledge to implement regenerative agricultural practices across 100% of its grower network by 2030. The demonstration farm aims to serve as a living showcase–bringing together innovation, local relevance, and practical implementation to support farmers in transitioning to regenerative practices.

By offering a hands-on, locally contextual model, the farm will act as a learning and innovation hub for farmers, McCain teams, agri-experts, and partners. Sabarkantha was selected as the site due to its prominence as one of McCain’s key growing regions, supported by a strong base of engaged farmers and favorable agro-climatic conditions.
