✨It's a great day for the decarbonization of food production in Europe!✨ Today we are launching a long-term partnership with PepsiCo in Europe to provide farmers with best-in-class crop nutrition products and advice as well as precision farming digital tools. 🤝 This partnership will allow PepsiCo's farmers to: 👨🌾 Increase nutrient use efficiency 🌾 Boost yields 👣 Reduce the carbon footprint of their crops The focus will be on potatoes, a key crop for PepsiCo, and then expand to other crops such as oats and corn. Approximately 1,000 farms across Europe and the UK will be included in the partnership. 🥔 This collaboration underlines our shared commitment to build a more sustainable food system in Europe, while supporting farmers through transition costs to ensure their livelihoods are not adversely impacted. 🧑🌾 Learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/dBXj6CJ2

The decarbonization journey started to get speed and scale with this partnership with Pepsico in Europe, where multiple variants on how to reduce the carbon footprint of the food value chain will be used. This partnership is a real commitment from both companies to decarbonize the food value chain. There is no turning point. We need to convey this message along the Agri and Food Industry.

While celebrating World Milk Day and highlighting dairy's nutritional importance, it is crucial to critically assess the environmental impact of Nestlé's large-scale dairy operations. With 15 billion liters of milk produced annually, Nestlé's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are commendable but require transparent and verifiable metrics. The 25% reduction in dairy emissions since 2018 is notable, yet the total impact must be evaluated. Programs like "Nature por NINHO" and innovative on-farm tools are positive steps, but their long-term effectiveness and scalability remain critical. Efforts to reduce emissions through improved cow feed and manure management are vital but must be part of a broader sustainability strategy. In conclusion, Nestlé's initiatives are promising but need comprehensive, transparent, and measurable strategies to ensure genuine sustainability in the dairy industry.

New Year, New Investments 🎉 We’re excited to announce that FiberFoods & PrimeJack, a pioneer of sustainable plant-based meat replacements, recently received backing from our seed fund, FoodSparks®. Led by two inspiring founders - Inez van Oord & Ineke Aquarius – they launched in Uganda in 2020, innovating with dehydrated young jackfruit for meat alternatives like burgers and sausages.   Their unique value: A #sustainable, cost-effective, and fiber-rich filler ingredient that’s not only more efficient but more environmentally friendly than traditional alternatives. It's already being embraced by the meat & fish industry for its natural meaty structure, with significant growth expected in the meat alternative & hybrid meats market.   Our investments are always tied to concrete, measurable #impact, and Fiber Foods is a prime example. Their dedication to sustainability runs deep, with a focus on regenerative agriculture practices and ethical sourcing standards, primarily in East Africa. It’s an approach that has enabled a robust, transparent, and scalable supply chain, positioning them as a significant player in the evolving alternative meat market.     Welcome on board!

Yesterday, we celebrated World Milk Day! With a picture of the main actors from a place I know well since childhood, I’d like to emphasize the vital role of dairy in delivering quality nutrition and share with you how we at Nestlé tackle dairy emissions. Dairy is an essential part of a balanced diet across the world and is used in our products. That’s why we’re putting effort into reducing greenhouse gas emissions from dairy farming. Emissions reductions in dairy ingredients have already contributed to 25% of all the reductions achieved by Nestlé since 2018. And we are scaling up: Through directly supporting farmers such as in Brazil with the “Nature por NINHO” program. Together with our suppliers, we are also supporting innovative on-farm tools that reduce greenhouse gases and plant native trees to sequester carbon and improve soil health. The Nestlé Institute of Agricultural Sciences is dedicated to finding scalable novel approaches to reduce emissions in areas like cow feed and manure management.

Recently, we’ve been covering a range of disruptions in the food industry. 🧩2/3 of the U.S. faces an obesity challenge, and federal subsidies have created an Agri-Business that favors high fructose corn production, processed foods and a broken beef and meat industry. 🧩A number of noteworthy Disruptors are changing the way we produce food across the globe that’s more healthy, sustainably produced and less taxing on our earth’s resources. 🧩In Boston, Rick Vanzura at Freight Farms shared how they are revolutionizing food growing using a fraction of the resources required with their innovative container farming model 🧩In London, Dan Miller at Steward has leveraged fintech to create a financing model for small farms to secure capital to “grow” their businesses 🧩In Israel, Tsipi Shoham, CEO at GreenOnyx will be sharing how a background in oncology equipped her to develop affordable greens that are nutrient dense and critical for maintaining good health. 🧩And, in Helena Montana, Cole Mannix founder of the Old Salt Co-op shares his journey to upend the meat industry to bring it into balance with the earth and create better beef in a healthier food ecosystem. If you can make it to the Old Salt Festival Next Week in Helena, great! If not, listen in and get DisruptED with us.

‘Unsettled, wet and dull’ was how the Met Office described the start of 2024 and the 18 month period ending in March was the fourth wettest on record for the UK 🌧️🌧️🌧️. We’ve heard from farmers about the impact the wet weather is having, washing away crops and preventing new ones from being planted. Climate change is no longer a far away issue, it’s on our doorsteps impacting the food we grow and ultimately the prices we pay in the supermarkets right here. This is why I find regenerative agriculture so fascinating as one of the key ways to help make our food system more resilient over the long term. If you want to find out more about how regenerative agriculture can make a positive impact, and how Nestlé is supporting farmers to transition here in the UK, have a listen to the recent Bidfood UK ‘Talking Food’ Podcast I recorded recently with Kate Edley, Valeria Potsinok and Ashley Hollidge and let us know what you think - https://lnkd.in/emq8HzqF Nestlé Professional #regenerativeagriculture
