Our soils are getting saltier. Can we turn this threat into an opportunity? Warmer temperatures, drought, and rising sea levels are a few of the climate change-related phenomenon leading to higher levels of salt in our soils. And while salt can make our food tasty, it’s generally not good news for farming. Salty soils aren’t good for most cash crops. And as Katarzyna (Kate) Negacz of the Saline Agriculture for Adaptation project says, this can lead to food security challenges. But freshwater isn’t our only option… Seawater agriculture could address the growing global demand for food while reducing strain on land and freshwater resources. And these startups are working on the solutions: Agrobiomics ALORA GreenWave Heron Farms Nemo's Garden (OceanReefGroup) OlsAro SaliCrop Ltd Salt Farm Foundation Salty Agricultura Salina Seawater Solutions The Salt Doctors Tamala-تمالا TEKMARA Check out the latest HackTrend Report where we dive into the data, impact potential and opportunities behind salty agriculture: https://lnkd.in/da5xMNBg

With a discussion led by: Angel Veza at ReFED Dyllan Mattea at Siddhi Capital Winson Wong 黃永傳 at Afterlife Ag Lydia Oxley Johnson at Renewal Mill Here's a quick recap from Nathan Paumier: 🗑️ NYC produces 50,000 tons of trash per day ♻️ Awareness of the climate impact of upcycled foods is low but increasing as brands learn to tell their sustainability story 👨🍳 Restaurants in NYC have to separate organics for disposal, but waste collectors do not: there is a valuable side-stream opportunity 🍄 Mushrooms are excellent decomposers and can readily turn restaurant scraps into nutritious foods in low-churn business models 💸 Investments are shifting away from funding CPG companies, and rather towards funding enabling technologies or B2B ingredient plays With food and drinks from Patagonia Provisions MeliBio Bear's Fruit Tony's Chocolonely Pleese Cheese Bored Cow Renewal Mill unClassic Foods Lentiful RIND Snacks Matriark Foods With thanks to CookUnity for hosting us the FoodHack NYC community.

Can our AgriFood supply chains be sustainable? Last week FoodHack Amsterdam brought together a full room of entrepreneurs, investors and supply chain managers to discuss the challenges, developments and opportunities of sustainability practices across the supply chain, with: Laura Nauta @ EY Floris Schiks @ Ecochain Julian Markus @ Jumbo Supermarkten Here's a snapshot of the discussion, covered by to Valentina Suligoj 💡Regulation plays a relevant role in driving sustainability as many companies embrace sustainable initiatives to comply with the European regulations and get the grants/ tax credits. Yet, while these regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, forcing companies to integrate ESG issues in their strategy, many are still relevant to big companies only and limited in its scope (i.e., reporting). 💡Data transparency represents still a huge challenge and undermines the trustworthiness of companies’ green claims: 50% of all green labels, which are more than 230 just in the EU, provide no third-party-verification; simplifying the frameworks and providing easy tools to measure the carbon footprint is the way to go! 💡80% of a product environmental impact is influenced by decisions made during the design stage, calling for an integration of sustainability from the product design 💡Collaboration with suppliers is pivotal in achieving climate targets; Jumbo Supermarkten’s provides its suppliers with the needed knowledge/ trainings to help them assess their emissions, comply to the CSRD mandatory reporting and implement reduction initiatives. 💡Collaboration not only with suppliers but also with competitors: ImpactBuying put together all the major retailers in the Netherlands aligning them on a standardised questionnaire on the Product Carbon Footprint that is shared with suppliers. With thanks to our host Tony's Chocolonely (and Chris Oskam), to matély and SNACKWITHBENEFITS for the drinks and snacks and of course to our brilliant Ambassadors Lara Nuchowicz, Maude Jordan, Valentina Suligoj See you next time 🇳🇱
