On February 7th, a Chipotle Super Bowl ad called 'Can a Burrito Change the World?' will air, marking a first for the Mexican dining chain.
Throughout the ad, the company considers the impact that an improved food system could have on the world, with a young boy telling his sister how sustainable growing processes, transportation, and farming could all be changed to better the lives of many.
Through the short ad spot, Chipotle shows how its Food with Integrity standards support sustainable practices, improve business for local farmers, and reduce carbon emissions. The campaign also follows the company's $5 million commitment to "help remove barriers and enable the next generation of farmers and ranchers to succeed."
