Approaching a solemn milestone. August 1, 2024 is the Earth Overshoot Day, the date when humanity's demand for ecological resources surpasses the planet's annual biocapacity. Resource inefficiency in food production and food waste are the 2 key issues for food and nutrition security. Together we can move the date of Earth Overshoot Day by 13 days if we cut the global food waste in half and by 17 days if global meat consumption is halved.

Today's global agrifood system emits one-third of all emissions. With global food demand estimated to increase to feed a projected population of 9.7 billion people by 2050, the increase in food production has been linked to unsustainable use of land and resources. This vicious circle leads to an increase in emissions. It's time to pivot towards more sustainable practices to mitigate the impact of the agrifood system on our planet. #sustainability #foodproduction #climatechange

🌍 Did you know that one-third of food produced globally is never eaten? This massive waste not only strains our planet's resources but also contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. At ADAR, we're tackling this problem head-on with our revolutionary Acoustic Dehydration Solution (ADS). Our technology uses acoustic shockwaves to dry, pulverize, and sanitize food waste without fossil fuels or harmful chemicals, transforming waste into valuable resources. Join us in our mission to create a sustainable future and reduce food waste! 💚♻️ #Sustainability #FoodWaste #CircularEconomy #GreenTechnology

We hold the power to make a difference as custodians of our planet and environment. Let’s embrace actionable steps in 2024 to care for our environment, starting with our daily choices. Here are some impactful ways you and we can contribute: 1. Embrace eco-friendly habits by being mindful of our impact. Avoid single-use plastics, support local businesses to create a greener world.  2. Be energy efficient by turning off lights when not needed, unplug chargers, and choose energy-saving appliances.  3. Choose organic by supporting organic farming. Organic practices promote biodiversity, reduce chemical pollution, nurture land and soil, and safeguard our ecosystems. 4. Reduce food waste by planning meals wisely, storing food properly, and composting leftovers. #AgronicFood #WorldEnvironmentDay #ChooseOrganic #SustainableLiving #EnergyEfficiency #OrganicLiving #EcoFriendly #SustainableAgriculture

Did you know that food waste is a global crisis affecting every level of the food supply chain?  From farms to smarkets, and from restaurants to our own homes, food is wasted in significant quantities, with devastating consequences for our planet. Take a look at these short and long term impact of food being wasted Short-Term Impact: 1. Economic Loss: Food waste costs the global economy billions of dollars annually. 2. Hunger: Millions of people go to bed hungry while edible food goes to waste. 3. Resource Depletion: Precious resources like water, land, and energy are squandered. Long-Term Impact: 1. Climate Change: Decomposing food in landfills releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas. 2. Biodiversity Loss: Deforestation for agriculture contributes to habitat destruction. 3. Soil Degradation: Overproduction and improper disposal harm soil quality. 4. Water Scarcity: Wasting food also wastes the water used in production. The good news? Innovative solutions are emerging to combat this crisis. At Biopols, we've developed a game-changing fungal chitosan-based food coating solution that extends the shelf life of produce, reducing food waste at every step of the supply chain. By choosing our sustainable solution, you not only help businesses save money and reduce their environmental footprint but also contribute to a brighter future for all. Let's work together to protect our planet and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come. 🌱 Keep Smart, Keep Fresh Biopols #reducefoodwaste #sustainable #extendshelflife #ecofriendlysolutions  #foodpreservation #foodwastereduction #sustainablefuture #environmentalresponsibility #efficientsupplychain  #climateaction #greeneconomy #sustainableinnovation #wastereductionefforts #foodwasteawareness #biotechnology

Each year, a staggering 1.3 billion tons of food is lost globally, equivalent to one-third of total annual food production. 🌍 This alarming reality emphasizes the critical need to transform food waste into energy, marking a pivotal step towards 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. ♻️ By harnessing the nutrients and organic acids within food waste, we can initiate biological processes to produce valuable 𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐡𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧. By converting food and processing waste into clean energy, we close the loop, creating a circular system that benefits our planet. 💚Let's turn waste into power and drive a 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫! #Amflind #FoodWaste #EnvironmentalSustainability #Bioenergy #CleanEnergy #GreenFuture #RenewableEnergy

Happy Earth Day! 🌍 🌎 🌏 Our mission is the core of everything we do: To build a healthier society, and a thriving planet, through smarter farming. Tortuga’s robots will help farms be more sustainable and resilient by:   - Improving yield and reducing waste during harvest - addressing our massive global food waste problem - Reducing the dependency on fossil-fuel-based chemicals with tools like sterile, sustainable UV-C light treatment and target spraying - Improving food quality, prolonging shelf life, and reducing post-harvest waste with tools like better data collection and forecasting - Improving plant health through better cultivation methods, such as intelligent trimming

On World Milk Day, let’s commit to transforming our dairy business. By embracing value addition, we not only increase our earnings but also contribute to a healthier, more sustainable future. #worldmiilkday #agricullturefuture #sustainableagriculture

Building resilient #foodsystems goes hand in hand with growing our food sustainably, but there’s more to it. Consumers have the power of the choice. They can choose how they want their food to be produced, including emission-free packaging, decarbonizing the food value chain, and one of the most important choices: food waste 🗑️. Nearly 60 million tons of food is wasted every year in the U.S. In fact, food is the single largest component taking up space inside U.S landfills - an approximate value of nearly $218 billion. The Fast Company shared an article that highlights how our #foodchoices impact the world’s soil, water, and biodiversity💚. Read more in the article below.
