What longer-term positive effects can regenerative agriculture have on not only basins that companies work from but communities and wider? 🌾 In this first episode of the season, Will Sarni and Tom Freyberg are joined by Michael Alexander, head of environment for Diageo, the British multinational alcoholic beverage company. 🍻 The organisation has developed a 10-year action plan called Society 2030 – Spirit of Progress. This includes the ambition to replenish more water than is uses across operations in 100% of water-stress areas by 2026. Michael talks about the wider benefits that regenerative agriculture touch like: 💧Water 💧 Biodiversity 💧 Social 💧 Economical 💧 Flooding 💧 Soil health And much more.

𝐁𝐈𝐆 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒 📰! Enviu has earned a spot among Europe's leading companies recognized by the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra for our dedication to applying circular economy principles in the fight against biodiversity loss. We're truly honored, especially for our work in East Africa through FoodFlow (a program by Enviu). The staggering impact of food and agriculture on our planet cannot be overstated – land-intensive processes have taken their toll. Through our circular solutions, we're not just tackling food loss; we're empowering smallholder farmers to embrace regenerative agriculture, forging a path to climate resilience and environmental stewardship. 💪🌿 A big thank you to Sitra, Tim Forslund, and Riku Sinervo for featuring us. We're committed to making a positive difference. Read the article here-https://lnkd.in/eCWp4c9A #CircularEconomy #CircularSolutions

There is no easy way to say that. The salmon you ate today, was fed with fish stolen from undernourished nations. The salmon you percribed as a healthy food today to your patient/client, was fed with fish stolen from undernourished nations. A huge shout out to the work of Feedback and Feedback EU for revealing those astonishing data, in their new report, Blue Empire (https://lnkd.in/etbHMYJv). We need to redesign and rethink the Sustainable Mediterranean Diet, taking into consideration the pollution impact of industrial fish farming, the sustainability of Mediterranean fish stocks, the impact of industrial activities to local communities, and the social justice we own to the most vulnerable. We need to talk to each other. Doctors, nutritionists, dieticians, and Lifestyle Medicine professionals, need to sit at the same table with environmental scientists, marine biologists, sustainability experts, and social scientists. #BlueEmpire #Feedback #FeedbackEU #LifestyleMedicine #SustainableMediterraneanDiet #SocialJustice
Could that salmon fillet effectively be starving West African families of their traditional diet of anchovies and sardinella, and destroying centuries-old livelihoods? Rauch Foundation partner Francesco De Augustinis explores this question and more in his exquisite new documentary, which complements the report we shared yesterday from Feedback Global. Starting with sea bass and sea bream farms in Italy, Greece and Spain, the documentary shows how fish farm pollution is transforming pristine waters into dead zones, not to mention destroying local artisanal economies uncovering an encroaching neocolonialism. Produced over three years with interviews and footage from communities on three continents, the film asks if aquaculture is making food systems more sustainable, or is instead an industry predicated on the grabbing of natural resources. It’s the result of a journalistic research project supported by Journalismfund Europe and Internews Earth. Bravo and well done Francesco!

🌍 Happy Earth Day! 🌱 Today, we celebrate the remarkable strides made in agricultural innovation, thanks to robust systems like the EU's Community Plant Variety Rights (CPVO). 🌻🔒 🌿 The CPVO plays a critical role in promoting sustainable agriculture across Europe by ensuring that new and innovative plant varieties are protected and flourish. By fostering such biodiversity, the CPVO supports the European Green Deal, driving towards a more sustainable and resilient agricultural sector. 👩🌾 European breeders, empowered by a secure system of plant variety protection, continue to bring forward varieties that can withstand changing climates and support food security for all of us. It's a testament to how targeted policies and cooperation can lead to tangible environmental benefits. 🌾 Each protected plant variety helps in building a sustainable agricultural landscape that is resilient to pests, diseases, and climate change—crucial steps toward a sustainable future for all. Every plant variety protected is a step towards a greener future! 💚 #EarthDay2024 #Sustainability #Agriculture #Biodiversity #PlantVarietyProtection #InnovationInFarming #CPVO

🤝 Partnerships are powering our journey towards more sustainable aquaculture. 🌊 In line with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #17, “Partnerships for the Goals,” we embrace the transformative power of collaboration. Trust and respect across our value chain are essential for a thriving and sustainable food system. 🌐 We can only reach our goals with the support of our global partners. Our Sustainable Development Report spotlights several examples of these successful relationships and how each contributes to our broader objectives. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll find in the report. 👇 For more on specific projects, download our Sustainable Development Report 2023: https://lnkd.in/es_V3fES #Sustainability #CarbonReduction #Emissions #ResponsibleProduction #Aquaculture | United Nations Office for Sustainable Development (UNOSD)

💸 How much of our EU public money go into biodiversity harmful subsidies? Between 5% and 12% of the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF), totalling €59–138 million per year, is channelled into biodiversity harmful subsidies. In 2023 alone, the fishing sector avoided paying approximately €597 million in taxes for fuel consumption. 💡 What can be done? Ring fence at least 25% of the EMFAF to support fishers, coastal communities and other stakeholders to protect and restore the marine environment, and phase out any financial support in the EMFAF that risks increasing the EU’s fisheries fleet capacity, worsening overfishing. 🔗 Read the full report on https://bit.ly/3UDQLa1 #votefutureEU
❗ A new WWF report shows that, every year, EU Member States are channelling an astonishing €34-48 billion into activities that harm nature 😲 Shockingly, up to 60% of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) funding —that’s more than €32 billion— is detrimental to nature while failing to support the farmers 🚜💔 The misallocation of taxpayers’ money spans other major sectors: 🐠 Fisheries: between €59 - €138 million 🚛 Transport infrastructures: between €1.7 billion - €14.1 billion 💧 Water infrastructures: between €1.3 billion - €2 billion Redirecting these harmful subsidies is not only urgent but also entirely feasible. Doing so could help bridge the €18 billion annual financing gap required to meet the EU’s 2030 Biodiversity Strategy targets 🐝 It's time for a major policy shift! Let’s prioritise nature for a sustainable transition that leaves no-one behind 💚 🔗 Read the report on https://bit.ly/3UDQLa1 #votefutureEU

potential of aquaculture
With our growing population expected to reach up to 10 billion people by 2050, finding solutions to our food system shortfalls is urgent. We already need half of the world’s habitable land to produce food. But 70% of the planet is water, and aquaculture - both land and ocean-based - can help to meet what humanity needs sustainably. Our mission is to move the aquaculture industry towards healthy, sustainable, affordable production with comparable financial returns.
