"Upcycled ingredients appeal to a sizable subset of consumers. About four in 10 agree that a product with upcycled ingredients is more appealing, one-third think that upcycled ingredients are higher quality, and one-quarter look for upcycling claims." Upcycling and regenerative agriculture are becoming key strategies for ingredient suppliers aiming to meet sustainability goals. By transforming byproducts into valuable ingredients and focusing on soil health, these practices not only reduce waste but also contribute to a more sustainable food system. Companies embracing these approaches are leading the way in creating a circular economy within the food industry, ensuring that environmental responsibility is at the forefront of innovation.

If we aim to drive sustainable food production and consumption, understanding consumer perspectives is crucial. 🌍 In our latest #ConsumerObservatory report, we've gathered valuable insights from European consumers on #RegenerativeAgriculture. 🌱 One significant finding is the general lack of understanding about what regenerative agriculture entails and its benefits. 🤔 But why should consumers care? How can we within the #agrifood industry bridge this knowledge gap? 🤝 Download the full report for the latest consumer insights ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/dhJvWBfM #ImprovingFoodTogether #FutureOfFood #SustainableFood #RegenerativeFoodSystems

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

🌾 5 Key Benefits of Sustainable Value Chains in Agriculture 🌾 The future of agriculture is sustainable, and building sustainable value chains is a crucial step in that direction. But what does that actually mean, and why should we care? Here are five key benefits that demonstrate the impact of sustainable value chains in the agricultural sector: 🌱 Environmental Conservation Sustainable practices, such as reduced chemical use, crop rotation, and efficient water management, help preserve natural resources, improve soil health, and protect biodiversity. It’s about growing food without compromising our planet's future. 💧 Resource Efficiency By optimizing processes across the supply chain, from farm to market, sustainable value chains reduce waste, cut water usage, and lower energy consumption. This efficiency translates into less strain on the environment and more savings for producers. 👩🌾 Empowered Farmers Fair trade and ethical sourcing practices ensure that farmers receive fair compensation, improving their livelihoods. Empowering smallholder farmers with sustainable methods also boosts productivity and resilience against climate change. 🍽️ Food Security & Quality Sustainable value chains contribute to the production of high-quality, safe, and nutritious food. By focusing on sustainable practices, we ensure that future generations have reliable access to healthy food. 🏷️ Brand Value & Consumer Trust Today’s consumers are more conscious than ever about where their food comes from. Brands that invest in sustainable agricultural value chains build trust, enhance brand reputation, and appeal to a growing market of eco-conscious consumers. By prioritizing sustainability at every step of the value chain, we can create a more resilient, efficient, and equitable agricultural system. 🌍🌾 What do you think is the biggest benefit of sustainable agricultural value chains? Let’s keep the conversation going! 👇 Curious about the benefits of sustainable value chains? 🌾 Or interested in learning more about sustainable value chains overall? Let's connect! Feel free to send me a DM, and I'd be happy to share insights and resources. 📩 #SustainableAgriculture #ValueChain #FoodSecurity #EcoFriendly #AgriTech #Sustainability

Sustainability is ingrained in our processes. No pun intended. As we celebrate World Environment Day, let's pause and reflect. 🌱 From the food we eat to the products we use, our choices have a profound impact on the health of the planet. That's why, at Benexia, we've made it our mission to prioritize #sustainability in everything we do. From our zero-waste production processes to our reliance on solely rainwater for agriculture, we're committed to reducing our environmental #footprint every step of the way. Regenerative agriculture is a holistic approach that nourishes both the land and the communities that depend on it. We ensure that every #chia seed we source preserves the soil it grows in. 🌎 Take our chia oil, for example. Extracted through cold-pressing and without the use chemicals or solvents, it leaves behind a nutrient-rich residue that we don't let go to waste. Instead, we micro-mill it to obtain fiber and protein, taking advantage of the nutritional value of every seed and minimizing waste in the process! #zerowaste #regenerativeagriculture #chiaoil #Benexia

𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 The term "sustainable development" is increasingly prevalent across various sectors, including food and electronics. But what does it really mean? Sustainable development is defined as "development that meets the present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." In agriculture and food, sustainable growth requires utilizing natural resources in a way that regenerates their productive capacity while minimizing harmful ecosystem impacts. Since WWII, agriculture has seen dramatic changes due to new technologies, mechanization, increased chemical use, and government policies favoring maximum production and lower food prices. However, these advancements have come with significant environmental and social costs. Issues such as topsoil depletion, groundwater contamination, air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, the decline of family farms, new health threats, economic concentration in food industries, and the disintegration of rural communities have emerged as consequences. Today, the movement for sustainable agriculture integrates three main goals: environmental health, economic profitability, and social equity.

𝘌𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴: Support farmers in adopting sustainable practices to alleviate economic pressures and reduce pesticide reliance. 𝘚𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘍𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘈𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴: Ensure food safety and nutritional quality by minimizing or eliminating toxic residues, often through food cooperatives and a comprehensive food systems approach. Conclusion Sustainable development in agriculture and food systems is essential for meeting our current needs without compromising the future. By adopting sustainable practices, we can create a healthier, more equitable, and environmentally friendly food production system. #sustainability #agriculture #food #newchanges
