Food systems are intricately linked to culture, heritage, and local nuances. Tailoring solutions to specific contexts is crucial for driving positive change for both people and the planet. The Great Food Puzzle offers a fresh approach, categorizing countries into six Food System Types to facilitate the implementation of effective actions. This innovative tool considers socioeconomic and environmental factors like biodiversity, carbon, and freshwater stocks, aiding nations worldwide in co-creating sustainable food solutions.

🌱 Why Sustainability Matters to the Food Industry? 💥 The decline of natural habitats, from farming through to developing land, that is now posing significant risks to the food industry, affecting everything from resource availability and food quality, right the way through to supply chain issues. 🌟 However, it’s this loss of biodiversity and nature degradation which is presenting forward-thinking businesses with a wonderful opportunity to lead the path towards ecological restoration and long-term sustainability.   📍 Many businesses are aware that their operations are causing harm to the environment. 📍 They are looking for ways to offset that impact that aligns with their values.   📍 Implementing nature-based solutions mitigates these challenges while supporting profitability. Nature-based Solutions are just one of the ways that Seeds To Thrive are helping food industry businesses work with nature, not against it. 🌱 Find out more on this month’s blog ➡ https://shorturl.at/mEvIA

Local food can significantly impact sustainability by reducing the carbon footprint associated with transportation, as it requires less fuel and packaging compared to food that is shipped from long distances. It supports local economies and farmers, ensuring that agricultural practices are better aligned with the regional environment and seasonality, promoting biodiversity. Additionally, local food often involves fewer preservatives and chemicals, contributing to healthier ecosystems and communities.

🌱The food industry has the power to help restore nature – and it must make this a priority. ✍️Mark Varney outlines in The Grocer how nature-positive solutions, like regenerative approaches, can strike the right balance between producing food and safeguarding nature: https://lnkd.in/e_RD5mxx 🌾Regen10 is already building a shared understanding of how regenerative approaches can deliver positive outcomes for people, nature and climate. 👉 As part of this, we have launched our Zero Draft Outcomes-Based Framework, which follows an analysis of more than 150 existing frameworks and has been developed through engagement with a wide range of key stakeholders.

Sustainability is not a choice; it's a necessity!" Have you ever thought about the powerful link between food security and environmental health? At the community fridge initiative, I’m deeply passionate about ensuring that everyone has access to nutritious food while promoting sustainable practices. Here are three impactful actions we can take for a sustainable future: 1. Slash Food Waste: Every bit matters! Promote composting and food recovery programs - let’s turn waste into resources! 2. Boost Local Agriculture: Support your local farmers and community gardens. Strengthening our local economy reduces our carbon footprint - win-win! 3. Ignite Awareness: Educate others on sustainable food practices. Knowledge can spark change and inspire a movement! Together, we can create a food system that nourishes both people and the planet!

🌾 At Empower Capital, sustainability starts from the ground up. Our green crops—like green sugar, green wheat, and green potatoes—are cultivated using innovative practices that significantly reduce carbon emissions. 🍃 By choosing our green products, companies can achieve their sustainability goals without compromising on quality. Ready to make the switch?

Regenerative landscape initiatives, whether mature or at the initial stages of their transition journey, can benefit from mutual learning by connecting, collaborating, and sharing experiences. 👩🌾With collective growth crucial to an equitable food systems transition, Regen10 is fostering awareness about how regenerative landscape collaboration can drive transformation. In 2023, we engaged with landscape-level initiatives worldwide, reaching out to organizations representing over 140 initiatives in 50 different countries. Alongside 1000 Landscapes For 1 Billion People, we published our initial research findings in our Landscapes Discussion Brief. We analysed how effective action is currently constrained by a range of factors and that to make food systems work for everyone we need new approaches. 🤔What do you think it takes to catalyze landscape action for regenerative food systems?

Circular Solutions for WEF sustainability In pursuing a more sustainable food production system, adopting closed-loop agricultural practices is paramount. This innovative approach transforms agricultural waste into valuable resources for other processes, creating a circular ecosystem. By implementing closed-loop systems, we reduce waste and foster a more sustainable and interconnected agricultural landscape. This transformative shift holds the potential to revolutionize how we approach food production, promoting environmental stewardship and resource efficiency.

EXCITING NEWS: We just launched our third annual Protein Sustainability Scorecard! 🙌 Large scale factory farming causes billions of animals to suffer every year AND has a massive impact on our environment. We created this report to assess which food companies are taking their sustainability initiatives seriously by offering more plant-based meals and which are lagging behind. 🌱🌎 Check out the full report 👉 https://lnkd.in/e6-ejSHn

Sustainable consumption Sustainable living when it comes to food is not merely a lifestyle choice but a necessity for the well-being of our planet and future generations. By adopting practices such as supporting local and seasonal farming, reducing food waste, embracing plant-based diets, and choosing eco-friendly packaging options, individuals can play a crucial role in promoting environmental conservation, food security, and social equity.
