"Nature" is a term that has entered the sustainability lexicon in full force, reflecting the push to expand sustainability strategies beyond climate initiatives. But a little less conversation and a little more action would enable the food and beverage industry to harness nature's full sustainability potential. The food and beverage industry contributes to nature degradation more than any other sector, while also relying heavily on its ecosystem services. While there's a lot to lose by ignoring nature, there's even more to gain by halting and reversing nature loss.

Though #carbon (or other GHGs) / #climate is a pressing concern, it's not the full picture of what environmental sustainability is. We're actually dealing with multiple crises on multiple front across #planetaryboundaries -- #biodiversity and #desertification, for example. When we talk about "nature" -- we mean just about everything else beyond the climate emergency. But nature isn't mutually-exclusive, nature factors can exasperate climate change (and vice versa). An environmental sustainability strategy without nature programs such as #waterstewardship or #habitatrestoration is incomplete.

Food & Beverage @ Quantis, a BCG Company I We're building & implementing the "Recipe of Transformation" I Supporting the full Agrifood Value Chain
🌿 Unlocking Resilience in the Food & Beverage Sector through Nature Integration 🌿 In today's world, resilience and sustainability are crucial for the food and beverage industry. Many companies miss a vital piece: integrating nature into their sustainability strategies. There are strategies which improve nature such as certain agriculture practices that improve soil health, reduce emissions, and boost productivity (anyone for conservation tillage or cover cropping?). This isn't just about ticking boxes—it's about creating strong supply chains and resilient business models ready to face climate change and prevent ecosystem collapse. 📊 Fact: The food and beverage industry could lose $150 billion by 2030 if it neglects nature preservation. Traditional agricultural models are becoming unsustainable due to a changing climate, land use changes and nutrient losses, leading to physical risks like extreme weather, soil degradation, and water scarcity disrupting supply chains and causing hits to the bottom line. ☀️ Good news: Integrating nature and climate strategies doesn’t mean starting from scratch and doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Many companies are already deploying agriculture programs and are making progress. Aligning these efforts under a unified framework streamlines sustainability initiatives, making them more effective and focused. A nature-positive strategy isn't just compliance—it's a strategic imperative for survival. Ignoring the shift towards a nature-positive economy can lead to increased costs and loss of market share. Those who embrace this change can unlock new opportunities and lead in sustainability, achieving tangible progress on key environmental metrics. 🚀 Ready to future-proof your business and make a real impact? Let’s explore how to integrate nature into your sustainability strategy. Reach out to me, and let's turn insights into action together.

🌍🍽️ This #SustainableGastronomyDay, let's take bold action for our planet! The hospitality industry's impact on our environment is significant, contributing to climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation, water pollution and more. Did you know 931 million tonnes of food are wasted annually, with 26% coming from foodservice alone? To meet our climate targets, we need to rethink how we approach food – from how it's grown to how we consume it. The hospitality sector plays a crucial role in connecting the food system with consumers, influencing choices and behaviours. Restaurant kitchens shape our future by guiding how customers think about food and what they order. Urgent action is needed across the entire hospitality industry - throughout supply chains, menus and daily operations.That's why The Sustainable Restaurant Association is dedicated to advancing solutions with the Food Made Good Standard - the world’s only sustainability accreditation tailored for the sector, transforming kitchens worldwide. https://lnkd.in/duiWxmmH Together, let's redefine 'good' in hospitality. Let's fix our food system to ensure that good food—good on every level—is accessible to everyone.

"I discovered with some discomfort that, along the entire coffee supply chain, the step most connected to climate change is the preparation process—this alone emits 45% of a coffee’s total carbon footprint." Brilliant article from our friends Barista Magazine about some of the ways #coffeeshops can work towards becoming more #sustainable businesses. https://ow.ly/Rc0h50Q6LfP #CoffeeIndustry #SustainabilityMatters #CoffeeRevolution #EcoFriendlySolutions #EmbracingSustainable

As you have likely heard me say before, I do not tend to pay a lot of attention to the trends of society and public opinion. This is because such things swing like a pendulum right along with our values. Additionally most of the time I tend to focus my attention on entirely different things than the typical concerns of the average person. That said, there is one societal trend that certainly has my attention. More and more people are making sustainable choices especially when it comes to their food. This is great news of course. But is this a short term cultural change or a foundational shift in perspective. And that is what I want to explore in this episode. So join me for E159 The Rising Demand for Sustainable Food. Always remember to live sustainably because this is how we build a better future. Patrick #sustainable #sustainableliving #ecofriendly #ecofriendlyliving #greenliving
