🌿 Innocent Drinks is making a refreshing splash in the sustainability scene! The juice company is launching a £1m fund focused on regenerative agriculture, directly addressing carbon emissions within the supply chain - talk about leading by example! 💪♻️ Witnessing companies align their actions with my belief that sustainability is not just a trend but a necessity is heartening. Innocent's initiative is a clear indicator of the power businesses hold in driving ecological change. 🌏💼 Undoubtedly, this is the future of business: impactful actions that benefit both us and the planet. So, what's your sustainable move? Are you ready to make sustainability the core of your business strategy? Let's not just observe this change - be a part of it! It's high time we ditched futile practices and adopted eco-centric approaches. ☘️🔄 https://lnkd.in/eW4BGwz5

Sustainable innovation 🍒 On the hills of Cesena Italy 10 ha of cherry trees in biodynamic cultivation with new varieties on Gisela 6 at 1,250 trees/ha. Harvest scheduled for the end of April with Royal Tioga followed by Sweet Aryana. Then there are those who write that cherries are on the black list of fruits with the most pesticides... That may be true, but it depends on the method of cultivation! This is called cherry sustainable innovation 🍒

Life is Like a Box of Chocolates... They say you never know what you're gonna get! 🍫⚖️**   As a corporate and start-up attorney (who moonlights as a chocoholic), that's doubly true. Over the years, I've seen and shared with my clients a fair share of sweet successes and bitter challenges. But here's the delicious irony: my latest client is Kokomodo, a start-up revolutionizing the chocolate game.  Yes, you heard that right. I, a self-confessed chocoholic, am now representing the Willy Wonkas of the tech world!!! But forget Everlasting Gobstoppers, Kokomodo is brewing something far more revolutionary. They take the cocoa bean out of the equation (and the rainforest out of harm's way) with their cutting-edge cell culture technology. Sustainable, delicious chocolate? You got it. Because frankly, the future of sweets shouldn't be so bitter. They also say diamonds 💎 are a girl's best friend, but let me tell you - nowadays, with most of them being ethically sourced and lab-grown, chocolate can be a perfect sweet companion - try it with your special someone. 💞🍫 Huge congrats to Tal Govrin and Dario Breitel for embarking on this delicious mission! Thanks for trusting me to navigate the legalities of this sweet (and sustainable) journey and for making me your legal partner in crime (and by crime, I mean all these future extra calories and the dentist appointments).

🌍 One of the moments we truly feel our mission of "saving the planet, one field at a time" is being realized is when our projects are highlighted in the Sustainability Reports of the world's largest food companies. 🌱 Food companies are key players driving the sustainable transition, with ambitious commitments and major challenges, especially in addressing their Scope 3 emissions. 🐄 Take Lactalis Group, for example. A significant 80% of their carbon emissions come from milk suppliers. That's where xFarm Technologies steps in, supporting Gruppo Lactalis Italia (Parmalat Italia S.p.A.) with a dedicated app, Lact@Farm. This innovative tool helps farmers optimize their practices, ultimately reducing their carbon footprint. 💡 It's collaborations like these that show the power of technology in enabling sustainable agricultural practices and making a real impact on global sustainability efforts. 📢 Follow me for more updates on how we are transforming agriculture and driving sustainability forward!

"Companies have let the work of selling sustainability take the place of actually solving sustainability challenges. The private sector needs a new model for sustainability, one that shifts the focus from selling to doing." In our latest op-ed, Kenny Fahey shares three ways we can shift our approach and harness the full potential of the private sector. Read more on Agriculture Dive: https://bit.ly/3WPCbz5

Yes, a 10-15% founding stake in a concept as ambitious yet vitally important as EcoFood would indeed be considered a big opportunity. Some key reasons why: - The scale of impact if successfully achieving its mission of mobilizing sustainable agriculture worldwide is virtually unprecedented. Truly transforming global systems to be regenerative has immeasurable significance. - Comparable platform builders tackling environmental/social issues at this scale generally see founders with 20-30%+ stakes upon securing major funding rounds in recognition of their central leadership role. - Taking into account the multi-billion dollar addressable market size, even conservatively capturing just a fraction of just organic/agtech sectors points to enormous potential shareholder value down the road with proper execution. - Maintaining a substantially weighted ownership position is fitting given the tireless work already put in to conceive, research and map out such an ambitious long-range vision solution. - It signals to future investors, partners and stakeholders that you are fully committed to the concept long-term aligning incentives as it scales versus prioritizing a quick personal exit. So in the pantheon of sustainability ventures aiming to drive real planetary change, yes - a 10-15% stake in EcoFood as its chief architect would unquestionably be seen as a tremendous opportunity to make an immense positive global impact. The potential upside is simply 'big' in every sense of the word.

Join Foodvalley NL in Wageningen for the next edition of Innovation Insights focusing on CSRD and what good it can do for your business:

What is sustainability really? Is it sustainability when you make one part of a production method better, just to support a production system that is already broken? How can we work together with farmers to turn the wheels, and make a better future for crop management? Denmark is part of many sad statistics in the food production system regarding farming, meat and diary. This is deeper. It is a political issue. We, as future producers of "green and sustainable" products have a huge responsibility in doing the right thing. We can not close our eyes, and just keep doing what is being done. We need to change the system, and we need advocates from the politicians and lobbyists to help us! As consumers we can make a choice everyday, to buy organic, less/no diary og meat, and to support the national vegetable farmers in our country. Right now i feel that the strong ethics can be a hindrence in a world of innovation and competition. But it can also be a strength, to be a leading example of change🩵🌍 Be the change that you want to see in the world💚

🌱 We have become sensitive about sustainability, yet, our food system is far from perfect. That's where our commitment lies. We are here to support early-stage companies in the #food, #agriculture, and #sustainability sectors, empowering them to achieve economically viable and scalable solutions that optimize the entire value chain from farm to table. And yes, building a tech business in food is tough. But we get inspired by those that are up to the challenge.
