Breaking down the path to sustainable food systems through #RegenerativeAgriculture Today, our #food system is in crisis. Not only does the food sector contribute to one-third of global #GHGemissions, but it also drives nutrient runoff, synthetic chemical use, and significant #biodiversity loss. These environmental impacts stem largely from agricultural practices, where over 70% of emissions occur “behind the farm gate.” For corporates and consumers, this broken system presents both a challenge and a unique opportunity to rebuild with sustainable solutions. But regenerative agriculture offers a path forward. It is estimated that if just under half of the land that is currently available for regenerative agriculture were to transition, it could result in a total reduction of up to 23 gigatonnes of CO2e by 2050. Supporting regenerative agriculture delivers extensive benefits for both companies and farmers. Companies can achieve measurable sustainability goals, reducing Scope 3 emissions and increasing resilience across their #supplychains. Farmers can benefit financially from #carboncredits and ecosystem service payments while adopting long-term, resilient practices. Together, these benefits drive a shift towards a healthier food system and foster positive environmental change. Agreena https://lnkd.in/dZFTVivw

With global demand for food, fiber, and feed set to rise by 50% by 2050, it's clear that significant changes are needed in how we manage resources. To meet this increased demand, we will require an additional 35% in water resources. Addressing this challenge is crucial for ensuring a sustainable future for our planet.

🚀 Exciting progress in sustainable agriculture! The Algaebrew project is tackling waste from brewing and coffee industries by cultivating Nannochloropsis sp., a microalgae rich in omega-3, to create animal feed and eco-friendly fertilizers. 🌱 AlgaeBrew optimized a new fertilizer made from microalgae and spent coffee grounds, showing no toxicity on key plant species and enhancing soil's water-holding capacity! 💧 Next up: exploring brewer's spent grain in new formulations and testing their impact on soil fauna and plants.

🌍 From Waste to Growth: The Circular Economy in Agriculture 🌱 At Grupo Garay Agro, we're turning waste into value by reusing animal blood from the meat industry to create eco-friendly fertilizers. This sustainable approach aligns perfectly with the circular economy model, where resources are repurposed, reducing waste and environmental impact. 🔄 Why Blood-Based Fertilizers? Natural Nutrients: Blood is rich in nitrogen and amino acids—key for healthy crops. Sustainable Sourcing: We reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers by using an existing by-product. Better Yields: Our products, like Power Blood and Hemoprom, enhance crop quality and productivity. Lower Waste: Less waste going to landfills while improving soil health. By closing the loop between industries, we support sustainable agriculture and help farmers thrive while protecting the planet. 🌱🌾 Join us in driving the future of farming through innovation and sustainability. Together, we can grow better, more responsibly. 💚 #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Agriculture #Innovation #GrupoGarayAgro

We have set the agenda for the North American edition of the Sustainable Foods Summit, hosted in San Francisco on 22-23rd January 2025.   We shall be covering regenerative agriculture, sustainability schemes, environmental and packaging impacts.   An update will be given on regenerative agriculture standards & adoption rates, whilst a dedicated session will discuss the future of eco-labels in the food industry. We shall also feature innovative food ingredients, as well as novel packaging materials that can replace plastics.   For more details, including the summit agenda, visit https://lnkd.in/etBFRVE   #sustainablefoods #foodindustry #foodtrends #sustaianableagriculture #regenerativeagriculture #greenmarketing #foodtrends #foodingredients #organicfood #foodpackaging #sustainablepackaging #SFSNA25

We tackle complex agricultural challenges with a holistic view that benefits crops, people and the environment. By combining our precision technologies with new bioactives, we aim to transform #crophealth and secure a sustainable food ecosystem for all. https://bit.ly/InvaioStory

**Combating climate change, one seed at a time!** At Organic Farmer, a company committed to farmers and nature, we're passionate about organic farming and its role in reducing carbon emissions. Here's how we're innovating agriculture for a sustainable future: * **Healthy soil, healthy planet:** We prioritize building healthy soil through practices like cover cropping and compost application. This captures carbon from the atmosphere and stores it in the ground. * **Reduced emissions:** We minimize tillage and use organic fertilizers, lowering our reliance on fossil fuels and synthetic chemicals. * **Sustainable practices:** We promote crop rotation and biodiversity to create a resilient ecosystem that reduces the need for pesticides. **Cultivating a greener future also means ensuring healthy, sustainable food for all. Organic Farmer is committed to providing Indians with access to high-quality, nutritious crops grown using eco-friendly methods. By choosing organic, you're supporting a healthier planet and a healthier you!** **#organicfarming #climatechange #sustainableagriculture #carbonreduction #innovation #healthy soil #healthy planet**

In honour of World Water Day which falls on 22 March 2024, let us consider stakeholders from the textile value chain further downstream who are involved in sourcing materials, namely, cotton. To meet their respective commitments, sourcing teams of brands are increasingly prioritizing the role that water footprint plays in terms of clothes manufacturing. In this case, many of them focus on techniques that are less water intensive such as the avoidance of dyes, amongst others. While other stakeholders are increasingly focusing on the production practices that are carried out to produce the sourced material. In this regard, let’s consider the role of regenerative agricultural practices in cotton production.   Regenerative agriculture practices aim to optimize water use efficiency and reduce water losses, while also improving the quality and availability of water resources. This is achieved by carrying out practices such as crop rotation, reduced tillage. This benefits the local community as the equilibrium of the local ecosystem is maintained from ensuring water sustainability.   In the context of this year's World Water Day theme, 'Leveraging Water for Peace,' it is even more important that communities work towards managing water as a resource that is essential to their livelihoods. The Alliance of Cotton & Textile Stakeholders on Regenerative Agriculture (ACRE) focuses on mainstreaming the adoption of regenerative agricultural practices in the cotton value chain. The Centre for Responsible Business, Solidaridad Asia and regenagri have joined hands to create a platform to #promoteregenagripractices in #Cotton and to educate and engage with diverse stakeholders.

🌾 Inspired by the Land: Regenerative Farming in Action 🌱 Last week, my son and I took a step further into regenerative practices by making biochar—a natural, soil-enhancing material created by burning organic waste in low oxygen. Shout out to our mentor and friend Dougie Dawson of Feorh for taking us on this journey and for giving us a chance to see firsthand how biochar aligns with the regenerative principles championed by visionaries like Allan Savory and Joel Salatin. Biochar perks: 🔹 Retaining water and nutrients to nourish the soil. 🔹 Supporting microbial life to enhance biodiversity. 🔹 Sequestering carbon, tackling climate change. 🔹 Enhancing the potential for nutrient dense and delicious produce. Hands-on learning is huge for us at Field Food. It deepens our connection to the land and our ability to offer the best regenerative, biodynamic, and organic food experiences to our community. Producers-Retailers-Consumers: Together, we’re cultivating a future where the land heals, and people thrive.
