Upstream product design using diverse ingredients such as small grains and pulse crops will help companies hit carbon, nature, and regenerative acre goals AND create the much needed farm level market pull. Excited to bring together Simone Schenkel Michelle Tulac Julia Stamberger and our sponsor Paul Wolfe to ignite the R&D arm of sustainability!

Our own Elizabeth Reaves will be at #Verge24 in a few short weeks!   There’s an exciting food/ag itinerary shaping up this year, and Elizabeth will be speaking during the session “How Upstream Design Can Generate a Nature-Positive Food System” taking place on Tuesday, 10/29, 3:15 PM. We're excited to join our friends Simone Schenkel of Environmental Defense Fund, Michelle Tulac of Ellen MacArthur Foundation and Julia Stamberger from 10 Billion By 2050, LLC to discuss how retailers and CPG companies are leveraging product and ingredient innovation to drive nature-positive climate solutions in our food system.

Practice adoption is only the first piece of the puzzle: ensuring sustainable agriculture sticks and then scales takes continuous up-skilling and an ecosystem of technical assistance for farmers. The Canadian Prairies Trusted Advisor Partnership does just that. Building off the success of the North Dakota TAP, this new initiative, with support from Bimbo Canada, General Mills, PepsiCo, Nature United, Assiniboine College, and South East Research Farm, will provide a practical, science-based curriculum for agronomists and the producers they engage – bringing the best in soil, water, and nutrient management to more acres and farms across Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

👨🌾 Farmers represent 2/3 of the 740 million people facing extreme poverty today. To tackle inequality in #FoodSystems, businesses must ensure the prosperity of the communities they source from and they can do this by paying farmers a #LivingIncome.     Whilst businesses have been promoting better livelihoods for farmers for decades, the World Benchmarking Alliance recently found that only 4% of 350 agribusinesses are taking action on #LivingIncome.    🚀 To spur business action on this important agenda, we developed a Living Income Business Toolkit, in partnership with the Sustainable Food Lab, which lays out the foundational elements of a successful living income strategy.  👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eA_2qhhQ ISEAL
