Consumers' Research, which just embarked on a six-figure campaign this month, said the ESG efforts will only drive up the cost of operation on farms and will increase food prices.
"A lot has been made of the net zero push on the fossil fuel industry, and people are starting to wake up to the implications it has on the electrical grid. The reason we launched this campaign is we want to make sure people understand it goes farther than that – all the way to the apple that you buy at the grocery store," Consumers' Research Executive Director Will Hild told Just the News.
The campaign would include television ads airing in Washington, D.C., and New York, a billboard in Times Square, a website, a series of mobile billboards in D.C., New York City, and Charlotte, North Carolina, and a digital campaign.
In January, the World Economic Forum (WEF), in collaboration with Bain & Company, released an insight report titled "100 Million Farmers: Breakthrough Models for Financing a Sustainability Transition."
"Global food systems need to shift rapidly to more sustainable forms of production as part of broader food system transformation efforts. Food systems accounted for more than 30 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2020," the report warned.
Modern agriculture has led to massive increases in crop yields for just about every crop across multiple regions of the globe, but according to WEF, it is causing climate change, destroying rainforests and draining global freshwater supplies.

The report proposed a breakthrough model for financing and collaboration to support farmers, with a specific focus on their adoption of regenerative agriculture (defined as a context-dependent system of farming practices that delivers or improves ecosystem services and economic outcomes).
The paper indicated that farmers should be "offered a flexible stack of financial and non-financial services" to get them to switch to regenerative agriculture. Regenerative farming is an organic approach to agriculture that, among other things, uses manure instead of modern fertilizers.
In 2022, Sri Lanka banned modern pesticides and fertilizers as it underwent an organic farming experiment. However, this resulted in a complete collapse of the country's agriculture sector and economy.
According to Hild, the ESG movement will push American agriculture in the same direction as it is now filtering down to the family farm. He said that banks are going to start using their loan portfolios to put net-zero emissions requirements into finance and these would assess the emissions along the entire supply chain. This means that getting a loan or crop insurance, both of which are vital to family farms, would require the operations to hit emission reduction targets, he explained. (Related: ESG investing in “net zero” climate agenda “must be stopped,” say Republican agriculture commissioners, or food inflation and FAMINE will follow.)
"[Blackrock CEO] Larry Fink sitting on Wall Street like a fat cat is going to be dictating what the Johnson family farm can do," Hild said. Blackrock is an American multinational investment company, which has been a key proponent of ESG initiatives in the world of finance.
Net-zero emissions policies lead to higher farming costs and grocery bills
According to the Buckeye Institute, a free-market think tank, American farmers will see farming costs rise at least 34 percent in compliance with net-zero emissions policies and corporate ESG.
The report that Buckeye released earlier this year, also indicated that a family with an annual grocery bill of $8,320 will see it go up by 15 percent to $9,650 when the agricultural costs are already passed onto the consumer. American cheese will spike in price to an estimated 78 percent, beef 70 percent and sugar 43 percent.
Consumer's Research campaign website features a video of Stephanie Nash, who helps run a dairy farm near Nashville, Tennessee. She said her family moved operations from California to Tennessee due to water availability concerns and burdensome regulations. This, of course, drove up the cost of the operation. In California, it is required for farms to have digesters, which reduce the methane given off by animal wastes.
Nash said there's another problem with regulatory compliance. Her family worries if the government asks for more carbon credits, they have none to give. The dairies receive carbon credits for their digesters.
Dairy farms across the U.S. are disappearing, Nash added, due to the high cost of operations. In fact, from approximately 75,000 dairies in the U.S. in 2003, there are approximately only 25,000 today. "ESG has been a big factor in how we can be as producers, how we as farmers and ranchers can produce food for America and the world," she said.
