🌾 Yesterday at #COP29, Food, #Agriculture, and Water Day took center stage, highlighting the immense potential of agrifood systems to combat #ClimateChange. As we face global warming, transforming these systems is essential to building resilience, reducing emissions, and ensuring food security for all. The announcements included the launch of the 𝗕𝗮𝗸𝘂 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘆𝗮 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀, a groundbreaking effort to support farmers and fishers—especially women & youth—through climate adaptation, biodiversity promotion & reduced environmental impacts. Meanwhile, global funding for the 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 reached an impressive €27.6 billion, furthering projects that enhance farming resilience. 🌳 At Finboot, we understand that regulations like the 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (#𝗘𝗨𝗗𝗥) play a critical role in promoting sustainable food systems. The EUDR directly impacts industries like food & beverage by addressing #deforestation and #biodiversity loss linked to supply chains. Key commodities such as meat, dairy, coffee, cocoa, soy, and palm oil fall under its scope, creating both challenges & opportunities for businesses committed to #sustainability. To support companies navigating this transformative regulation, we are excited to announce the launch of our updated ebook on the EUDR later today, so stay tuned. 📘

🌍 HAPPY EARTH DAY! As we celebrate Earth Day, the importance of transforming our food system is higher than ever – here are 10 things you should know about the food we eat, and its impact on the planet. 🍴 Food system action is paramount 📈 Meat consumption is on the rise 🥩 Scientists say we need to reach ‘peak meat’ next year 🍛 The UN’s stance on food is tricky 🌱 Plant-based sales have stagnated – but not declined 🛒 Climate change is driving up food prices 💰 Gap remains between plant-based and animal protein prices 💸 Your bank is probably funding the livestock industry 🚮 We waste a billion meals every day ⚖️ Government support for alt-protein is mixed There’ll be lots of talk about sustainability and fossil fuels and plastics and what not this Earth Day. Again, all that is important – but we need to reverse our course with the food system if we have any chance of keeping the planet safe.

🌍 The World Bank’s recent report, "Recipe for a Livable Planet: Achieving Net Zero Emissions in the Agrifood System," spotlights a crucial shift toward plant-based foods for a sustainable future.   At the European Plant-Based Foods Association (ENSA), we wholeheartedly support this call to action. 🌱 Agrifood is a big contributor to climate change generating almost a third of GHG emissions, averaging around 16 gigatons annually!    By embracing plant-based diets, developed countries can significantly cut emissions, with the potential to slash over 300 MtCO2 eq annually! 🌍 Not only does this protect our planet, but it also optimizes land and water use for a more sustainable agri-food system.   Let's champion sustainable diets for a healthier, more livable planet! 🌿   #NetZero #SustainableFuture #PlantBased

Akin to our #coreThree, these 4 considerations when talking about sustainable agriculture, aim to balance and reach true sustainability for every player in the Food Supply Chain - Sustainable Farming - Sustainable Ecology - Sustainable Consumption Are at the core of everything we promote and sewrch for with #Tunjo Folow us to know more

Sustainable food systems are crucial in the fight against #climatechange, as they currently contribute about a third of global greenhouse gas emissions. The concept involves producing nutritious food efficiently, minimizing environmental harm, and ensuring #resilience to #climateshocks. This means reducing #foodwaste (responsible for 8–10% of global emissions), adopting #climatesmart agriculture to protect resources like #water and #soil, and promoting diets that are less resource intensive. The effects of climate change on agriculture are profound: erratic rainfall, prolonged droughts, and extreme heat are decreasing crop yields, stressing livestock, and disrupting fisheries. These changes not only threaten food availability but also drive up costs, deepening inequality in #vulnerable regions. Addressing these issues is critical, as global demand for food is projected to rise with population growth. Efforts like those spotlighted at #COP28 are urging nations to integrate sustainable food systems into their #climatestrategies, recognizing that transitioning to more #sustainable diets, such as #plant-based options, can reduce pressure on land and water while lowering #emissions. How can governments, industries, and individuals collaborate to ensure that food systems become more resilient, equitable, and environmentally friendly? #Sustainability #ClimateAction #FoodSecurity #SustainableAgriculture #ZeroWaste

❓ What is the business case for reducing our food-related emissions? 🌎🌱 According to the United Nations, almost 1 billion tons of food is wasted every year, which not only contributes to hunger issues but also accounts for more than 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. That's more than the total emissions from the aviation sector! According to Our World in Data, aviation accounts for 2.5% of the world’s emissions. 💨 Our agricultural practices play a huge role, responsible for over 30% of methane emissions, a powerful greenhouse gas. Livestock alone is responsible for about 18% of global emissions, making it crucial to explore plant-based and sustainable alternatives. As seen in the chart provided by the United Nations, animal proteins create far more greenhouse gas emissions than plant-based foods do. 💰 We see this as a large investment opportunity! 🌽 Innovations that are shifting food systems toward a flex diet that is plant-rich with more plant protein and less animal-based foods can lead to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. 🌾 Great sources of plant-protein include beans, chickpeas, lentils, nuts and grains. This becomes critical as a growing population in Africa and Asia and a growing middle class in Africa, India and China means that we have to feed MORE people while creating less damage. Addressing food-related emissions is a critical step in the fight against climate change and an opportunity to invest in the growing trend of building a more efficient and less damaging food system. With the right strategies, we can not only feed our planet sustainably but also protect it for future generations while also investing for generations to come. 🌿🌍 Source links in the comments. #Sustainability #ClimateAction #FoodSystemsTransformation #GreenhouseGasEmissions
