We’re trying hard to do our bit to help hospitality operators navigate a challenging path of delivering food on a plate that is more sustainable. This is the first of a series of short videos that attempt to simplify the pathways to deliver successful outcomes ❤️ #farmstudytour #food #sustainablefood #hospitality #restaurants #hotels #dining #qsr

The environmental sector needs to be fully plant based 💚 A plant-based food system would free up land urgently needed for nature restoration. Wise words from Chris Packham 👇 "If we want to restore nature, we have to change our food systems... I’m asking the environmental sector to lead this change by pledging to go 100% plant-based." The demand is simple: ✨ Make a 100% plant-based pledge by 1 January 2025, with a clear and published pathway of how to achieve this transition by January 2026 ✨ #WorldFoodDay #PlantBasedPledge (read more at link in comments)

🌍🌱 Happy World Environment Day 2024! 🌱🌍 Today, we celebrate the incredible importance of our environment and the actions we can take to protect it. This year’s theme is all about land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience under the powerful slogan: “Our Land. Our Future. We are #GenerationRestoration.” We as a company are also committed to land restoration with Ecosia . Because trees are our most effective weapon against climate change. By absorbing thousands of tons of CO2 every day, trees can help limit the rise in global temperature to below 1.5°C. 🌳 We invest 0.25% of sales in ECOSIA tree planting campaigns and invite every customer to participate by making a simple selection during the checkout process, including official certificates. This means that we have already planted 1780 trees. 🥦🍎 Plus, the "Loubier´s Biokiste" with freshly harvested fruit and crunchy vegetables is delivered to us every week directly from the fields of the Dithmarschen region in Schleswig-Holstein. The team can enjoy the best of local organic produce. Let’s take action together for a sustainable future. Happy World Environment Day! 🌍💚 #WorldEnvironmentDay #GenerationRestoration #ClimateAction #SustainableLiving #TreePlanting

From the vineyards of France to the shores of the Mediterranean, we have one planet, Earth. To secure a future we must reconsider our relationship, with the Earth. The pressing issue of climate change demands a shift in our sustainability approach and nature might offer the solutions we seek. Traditional methods, passed down over generations often provide practices, for agriculture, food production and resource conservation. At Relais & Châteaux we value preserving and honoring these customs as a way to build a sustainable future. Our establishments promote sourced ingredients to support food systems while highlighting the distinct flavors and heritage of their respective regions. This is not a challenge but rather a collective endeavor where success or failure is shared as a community. #climate #sustainability #tradition #RelaisChateaux #localflavors #foodsystems

Today, the United Nations decrees it International Day for Biological Diversity. 🌱 This year, the theme is ‘Be Part of the Plan’, which emphasises the role we all play in nurturing biodiversity - our core mission at Ecotone. It’s also a call to action to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity as part of The Biodiversity Plan. This offers governments and organisations measures to support in protecting nature - because everyone has a role to play, and can be part of the plan! 🫱🏽🫲🏽 We recognize this urgent need for change. That's why we're committed to diversifying the ingredients and plant species in our recipes - ensuring a more resilient and sustainable food system for generations to come. Across our portfolio of natural products, we’re guided by a mission to protect and grow biodiversity in all that we do. As a mission-led business, it’s tied into our very own DNA and helps us work towards a stronger and sustainable food system. Together, we can make a difference! 🥕 Find out more about the vital work of the UN here: https://buff.ly/35r7ofG #FoodForBiodiversity #ForNature #UnitedNations

From the Green Revolution to the Sustainability Revolution: Reconnect with the Source of Your Food 🌱 Did you know that our current food system is a major contributor to climate change, biodiversity loss, and soil degradation? While the Green Revolution brought about incredible advancements in food production, it also led us further away from our food's origins. But there's hope! A new revolution is taking place in farming – one focused on sustainability, innovation, and regeneration. Join us on our two-day Farm Study Tour (October 1-2) to: Discover how farmers are pioneering new methods to reduce their carbon footprint, protect biodiversity, and nourish our soils. Learn about the many opportunities available to meet your sustainability goals. Reconnect with the source of your food and gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and solutions facing our food system. This tour is specifically designed for hospitality sector leaders who are ready to take the next step towards a more sustainable future.

Happy World Environment Day! At Marcatus QED, we join the global community in celebrating #WorldEnvironmentDay 2024 under the powerful theme of #GenerationRestoration. This year’s theme focuses on land restoration, combating desertification, and building drought resilience. These efforts are crucial in protecting essential ecosystems, including our precious freshwater sources and vital soil, which sustain all life on Earth. Since 1973, World Environment Day, led by the UN Environment Program (UNEP), has been a beacon for raising awareness and driving action on pressing environmental issues. From tackling climate change to reducing chemical pollution, this day mobilizes millions worldwide to contribute to the protection of our planet. At Marcatus, we celebrate World Environment Day by reaffirming our commitment to SDG #15 – Life on Land. We are dedicated to initiatives that conserve natural resources, restore ecosystems, and promote responsible land use. In Canada, we are taking meaningful action towards building a sustainable future by fighting food insecurity and reducing import-reliance. Across the world, we are focusing on creating more sustainable and regenerative farming practices in our value chain and protecting the environment as we grow our products. Together, we can make a difference and change the way we do business in order to have a positive impact on our environment. #WorldEnvironmentDay #GenerationRestoration #SustainableAgriculture #FoodSecurity #ClimateResilience #InnovativeAgriculture #MarcatusQED #WorldEnvironmentDay2024 #Sustainability #EnvironmentalProtection #EcoFriendly #ClimateAction #MarcatusQED 

On this #WorldOceansDay, I'm excited to share insights from the newly released State of the Ocean Report 2024 by UNESCO. This comprehensive report sheds light on the critical condition of our oceans and underscores the urgent need for action to safeguard their health for future generations. Key highlights from the report include: • Combating Ocean Pollution: Tackling the alarming rise in plastic pollution. • Protecting Marine Ecosystems: Addressing ocean acidification, warming, and deoxygenation to protect marine biodiversity. • Enhancing Marine Protected Areas: Safeguarding over 70% of endangered species within Marine Protected Areas. • Sustainable Food Supply: Emphasising the ocean's role in global food security with record levels of fisheries and aquaculture production. • Adapting to Sea Level Rise: Preparing for the impacts of rising sea levels and exploring Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR) techniques. • Advancing Ocean Data and Innovation: Promoting open access to ocean data and expanding the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS). • Fostering Ocean Literacy: Engaging communities through enhanced ocean literacy and integrating Indigenous and traditional knowledge in ocean conservation. As we celebrate the beauty and importance of our oceans today, let's commit to making a difference. Whether through research, #policy change, or everyday actions, we all have a role to play in creating a sustainable future for our oceans. Dive into the full report to understand how we can collectively contribute to achieving the goals of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. Together, we can ensure #TheOceanWeNeed for the future we want. #ValueMatch
