Zero Hunger Private Sector Pledge’s Post

In the current context of climate change, geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions, FMC’s commitment to support farmers and contribute to food security is of immense value. The private sector needs to show leadership and be at the forefront of initiatives to end hunger. FMC Corporation #foodsecurity #sustainableagriculture #geopolitics

Today I've got my NHS sustainability hat on at GHASPcon 🌱 Just hearing from Jonny Groome with 3 big headlines on what we can all do: 💰 Money - not only moving our own money to banks that don't fund fossil fuels but asking every supplier and rep we come across on their company divestment policy. Signal the demand and vote with your money. ⛽ Renewable energy - switch today and help fund new projects. 🥗 Eat more plants and change menus by behavioural nudges - making plant-based food appealing, not advertising it as vegan or plant based and making meat an optional add-on.

Interesting line up at todays DPTC - Dairy Processing Technology Centre summit. Irelands dairy sector has come a long way in the last 50 years from when whey was a by-product fed to pigs. Now, through innovation, technology, and valorization, whey is processed, extracting value, helping Ireland become the home to some of the world’s best sports and clinical nutrition products. Projects like Circular Bioeconomy Research Group (CIRCBIO)s grass biorefinery at #FarmZeroC represent new technology with significant potential to add value for farmers while also addressing climate issues. Biorefining grass allows value to be extracted from grass while also having a press cake to feed to livestock.

Well done Anne Marie Henihan DPTC - Dairy Processing Technology Centre and Conor Mulvihill on yesterday. The consensus yesterday was clear: it’s time to transition from “vision” to “execution” for the circular bioeconomy - and specifically on biomethane. Everyone agrees that for this opportunity to be fully realised, a collaborative approach to R&D is essential. Universities, dairy producers, biomethane technology providers, and government will need to work closely to develop and add value to the by-products of biomethane production. There was also broad agreement on the need for education and public awareness to demonstrate how biomethane production integrates with dairy and other farm operations in a closed-loop system, extending benefits beyond energy to include biofertiliser and biogenic CO₂.

Last weekend at our local farmer's market, I couldn't help but notice the abundance of signs like "organically grown," "No GMOs," and "Local Farm." It's clear that consumers are increasingly aware of where their food comes from and the environmental impact of its production. This consciousness is a testament to how far we've come in prioritizing sustainability in our daily food choices. Reflecting on this, I see a strong parallel in the decarbonization sector where we strive to increase the "yield" of organically "grown" electricity through sources like solar and wind. Just as we value "locally farmed" produce, the energy sector is moving towards "locally farmed" electricity with the development of microgrids and DERs. And in our quest for purity, just like the demand for "non-GMO" products, we pursue renewable energy sources, our version of "non-GMO" electricity and shift to electrifying all the things. As we continue to make choices about the energy we use, let’s draw inspiration from the farmer's market. Let’s choose sustainable, low-impact energy sources that not only power our homes but also protect our planet. Here's to making informed choices that ensure a healthier, more sustainable world for generations to come.

Reconciling convenience with environmental responsibility is increasingly important, particularly for the food, grocery and etail delivery sectors that have experienced rapid expansion and growing popularity. In their latest report, Electrifying Progress – South Africa, our ESG team explores the solutions and start-ups in South Africa that are creating an ecosystem to future-proof a sustainable mobility sector. Key findings include: 💡 Collaborative efforts between businesses, individuals, and policy-makers are essential for overcoming economic and systemic barriers. 💡 Public-private partnerships can accelerate the deployment of EV solutions, enhancing their reliability and reach. 💡 Innovative financing models and supportive government policies are critical to making the transition economically viable.
