Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing the wine industry, and it's our goal to be a net zero industry by 2050. The recently launched New Zealand Wine Roadmap to Net Zero 2050 will play a crucial role in presenting tools and opportunities to help winegrowers mitigate those challenges. It outlines milestones and identifies key emission-reduction opportunities applicable across vineyards and wineries to help us reach our net zero goal. Here's some of our sustainability champions on this important project:  Edwin Massey - General Manager Sustainability, New Zealand Winegrowers  Fabian Yukich - Chair, New Zealand Winegrowers Environment Committee Peter Jones - Director, The Landing Josh Barclay - Sustainability Manager, Whitehaven Wine Meagan Littlejohn - Programme Manager, Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ) Read the Roadmap here: https://bit.ly/3T9Dmqa #nzwine #altogetherunique

Today's World Earth Day invites us to think again about our impact on the planet and the actions we can take to help keep our environment clean! 🍃✨️ We believe that we are each responsible for the future of the Earth, and we are committed to following the guidelines of the sustainability programme "Together Towards Zero and Beyond" of Carlsberg, one of the world's largest brewing groups, of which Švyturys-Utenos alus is a part. In line with these guidelines, the Group has made significant progress, achieving indicators such as a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions and a 21% reduction in water consumption per hectolitre of beer. 👏 The programme's overarching environmental, social responsibility and governance objectives for 2030 and 2040 are not only leading to the realisation of its core ambition of zero emissions. The targets are also more ambitious in other priority areas: water conservation, responsible alcohol consumption, promoting diversity, equality and inclusion, human rights, and community empowerment. We are pleased to be part of this programme to promote more sustainable brewing and to be more environmentally friendly. Happy World Earth Day! 🌍 

I'm already a big fan of SUNTORY BEVERAGE & FOOD EUROPE's new CEO Pierre DECROIX. A waffle-cutting straight talker. Why become CEO? "To make an impact." Why pursue sustainability? "Because it's the right thing to do." Pierre also talks about his vision for "sustainable, profitable growth". And he is right: sustainability needs to be seen as a driver of profitability, not an add-on. This week, I interviewed SBFE's CSO Michelle Norman. She was as driven and focussed as the CEO. SBFE is making good progress, too, and I'm guessing that will only accelerate. #SuntoryEurope #sustainability #circularity

🌊 Exploring the Future of Sustainable Seafood 🌊 Curious about other innovative projects working to maximize the potential of seafood side-streams?

Here’s a look at some of these trailblazing projects: 🔹 SEAREFINERY – Improved Valorization of marine sources and processing waste for resource-efficient blue food/feed and environmentally sustainable materials development. 🔹 Bluewayse – Blue WAY to a Sustainable Europe. 🔹 Waste2Taste – From waste to taste: exploring innovative food applications of postharvest fish losses. 🔹 Re-Blue – Resource-efficient blue food production from small underutilized pelagic fish species. To explore more about these exciting projects, visit the FOODIMAR website ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dSCGGQ4m Together, these projects are reshaping the seafood industry by turning waste into high-value resources. 🌍✨ #SustainableBlueFood #BlueEconomyEU #CircularEconomy #SeafoodInnovation #SBEP #SustainableSeafood

Despite multiple challenges , fresh fruit and vegetables are essential not only for their health benefits and their low environmental impacts, they are also part of the solution of key European strategies to address climate change and unhealthy diet. These were the key messages of the Freshfel Annual event in Paris on 16th May in Paris . Balancing the three pillars of sustainability will be driving the sector towards fresh perspectives and growth opportunities in the coming years despite geopolitical turbulence, uncertain economic conditions and far reaching consequences of climate change. Not yet part of Freshfel Europe? Contact us and force with us to further reinforce the role and image of the sector and its quality of fresh fruit and vegetables.

A new program in 2024/25 - VinØ Carbon Action - will progress the Tasmanian wine sector's journey towards a net zero carbon emissions future, helping wine businesses measure, reduce and report on their emissions activities. Working with the ERC Protocol, Wine Tasmania's wine business members can measure their emissions profile, take steps to reduce emissions and communicate their commitments to all stakeholders. We have also jointly developed actions tailored to the wine sector.

Most of the seafood that is consumed in the United States is imported. BUT it doesn't need to be that way. Our new article in Nature's Ocean Sustainability Journal explores the potential to achieve seafood "independence". Check out what we learned: https://lnkd.in/eR7vZEzH

🌱 The FutureFoodS partnership for Sustainable Food Systems has been launched! 🤝 Involving 86 partners from 29 countries, it aims to accelerate the development of sustainable food systems trough the mobilization of local and national governments, civil society organisations, universities and other research organizations🔝 ♻ The partnership will contribute to the EU’s Green Deal objective “Fair, healthy and environmentally friendly food systems, from primary production to consumption”. It will strive to accelerate the change towards safe, sustainable, healthy and resilient food systems while making them trusted and accessible and respecting our planetary boundaries. 📅 Planned actions include open calls for research and innovation, with the first call launching before the end of 2024. This partnership will also develop Living Labs, a new EU food system observatory and also organise several knowledge sharing events.
