Global food systems are at a crossroads. There is an urgent need for carbon reduction in agriculture and supply chains, whilst we ensure survival and food security. Key to overcoming this tension is the development and implementation of sustainable food production – led by regenerative agriculture practices – at scale. https://on.bcg.com/3R93gtE #BCGatCOP

By 2050, the global population is set to surge by two billion, this emphasizes the critical need for access to high-quality, nutritious food. In the wake of climate change and evolving pest and disease pressures, a sustainable food system isn't just essential for consumers, but also for farmers. Smallholder farmers form the backbone of food security in many rural regions across the globe. Understanding their vital role in agriculture, #TeamBayer aims to support 100 million smallholder farmers in low and middle-income countries by improving their access to agricultural products and services by 2030. This is all part of our sustainability goals. As of 2023, we've already reached 53 million smallholder farmers! #Healthforall #Hungerfornone #sustainability

Check out my article just published on Food Logistics! Numerous companies are beginning to embrace sustainable agricultural practices as a response to their greenhouse gas emissions. However, the growing acknowledgment of agriculture's environmental impact and the implementation of regulations like the EU deforestation regulation are expected to propel further changes in the industry. Achieving success in the transition to sustainable agriculture involves more than just rhetoric. Leading food and beverage companies are taking practical steps to translate their commitment into tangible outcomes. These steps encompass key elements crucial for ensuring a successful shift toward sustainable agricultural practices. https://lnkd.in/d6jWEckj #sustainabtility #foodsupplychain #cropsupply #eudr

Farmers are committed to sustainable milk production and the Greener Cattle Initiative (GCI) is bringing them options to help mitigate enteric methane emitted by cows by investing in research to secure the future of the industry. “I cannot overstate how important efforts such as GCI are in a time when global demand for food products, such as milk and meat, is expected to increase by more than 60% in the coming decades,” says Dr. Juan Tricarico, Senior Vice President for Environmental Research for the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy.

The FAO´s annual flagship report State of Food and Agriculture 2023 focuses on the true cost of food to transform agrifood systems. It argues that all costs (and benefits) need to be accounted for to make a business case for #agricultural #transformation. True cost accounting for GHG emissions and on the other hand carbon sequestration would reveal that the value to society of agrifood systems is likely well beyond what is measured in gross domestic product (GDP). FAO is an important policy influencer on the intergovernmental scene - we are curious to see how the national policies will shape and if more ETS schemes will emerge covering the agricultural sector soon. https://lnkd.in/dxXdx8PV #regenerativeagriculture #climate #insetting #decarbonisation

Balancing Profitability and Sustainability For Farmers Farmers worldwide are speaking out and protesting as they face challenges such as decreasing incomes, strict environmental regulations, rising bureaucracy, and import competition. Many farmers feel trapped between the public’s demand for low-priced food and the need to adopt environmentally friendly processes, while the increase in input costs greatly affects their profits. Securing affordable access to healthy, nutritious, and safe food for the world’s growing population in the face of climate change and the widespread depletion of resources is a significant global challenge. Furthermore, food demand is expected to rise rapidly until 2050. Europe’s recent wave of protests could be an early warning sign of what’s to come if appropriate measures and policies are not taken to address this global issue.
