In further support of its regenerative agriculture goals, CMI Orchards has added Rose Vejvoda as sustainability manager.
Vejvoda brings a master’s degree in climate science and solutions, along with certification in greenhouse gas accounting. She has a strong background in sustainability programming and reporting through higher education.
Vejvoda will work closely with Royal Family Farming and CMI’s other partners to integrate regenerative agriculture into the company’s broader sustainability strategy. Her role includes leading customer sustainability reporting, managing greenhouse gas inventories and identifying innovative ways to reduce emissions across the value chain, all while supporting grower success and helping retail partners meet their environmental goals.
“I’m incredibly excited to contribute to a company that is already at the forefront of regenerative agriculture and sustainability. Our continued goal is to regenerate the health of our planet while bringing meaningful value to our growers and retail partners,” said Vejvoda in a news release.
Bob Mast, president of CMI, shared the company’s vision for sustainability initiatives.
“At CMI Orchards, our vision is to be the very best stewards of the planet in our industry — not because it’s marketable or financially beneficial, but because it’s the right thing to do,” Mast said. “Our commitment to regenerative agriculture is rooted in our responsibility to care for the land and animals that sustain us, ensuring a healthier planet for generations to come.”
