How sustainability data through Life Cycle Assessments is powering leading agrifood businesses
Revolutionizing animal protein production for a greener planet through strategic supply chain transformations
Climate change, the defining global issue of our time, highlights the environmental impact of our food consumption patterns. The 2015 Paris Agreement resulted in a target to limit global warming to a rise of 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and to ensure a sustainable planet for future generations. To meet that target requires significant effort to drastically reduce humanity’s environmental footprint across all dimensions.
Healthy, high-quality food is a fundamental human necessity and, within that mix, animal protein plays a central role in the diet of billions of people. Despite its nutritional importance, the production of animal protein is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. This dichotomy brings to focus the need for a comprehensive reimagining and restructuring of our food system, with a particular focus on the animal protein sector.
