To restrict world warming to 1.5°C, as per the Paris Settlement, greenhouse gasoline emissions should halve by 2030 and drop to internet zero by 2050. For the meals trade, which is linked to round one-quarter of whole greenhouse gasoline emissions, the stress is on.
How can environmental impacts be lowered throughout meals provide chains and all through product life cycles to make sure private and planetary well being?
At Local weather Good Food 2023, our three-day digital occasion spanning 19-21 September, we’ll be asking how the meals trade will help drive a transition in direction of sustainable meals sourcing, manufacturing, and consumption. Registrations for the free-to-attend digital summit at the moment are open.
Every day the session will run from 2pm CET to 5pm CET and can embrace interactive displays, panel discussions, viewers Q&As, hearth chats and start-up pitches.
19 September: Local weather Good Sourcing
Elements are a significant contributor to FMCGs’ carbon footprints, making sourcing practices essential to assembly carbon discount deadlines. However cultivation isn’t the one consideration: world provide chains are more and more stricken by disruption and have lengthy been linked to human rights violations. How can sustainability be embedded into world provide chains?
On Day 1 of Local weather Good Meals, we’ll be asking how finest to mitigate towards provide chain disruptions linked to droughts, floods or conflict; what sustainability laws means for meals majors; and whether or not regenerative agriculture can really save the day.
Highlights embrace…
- A ‘hearth chat’ with Francesco Tramontin, VP, Group Public Coverage Middle, Ferrero, to debate how the corporate is getting ready for EU sustainability laws on provide chains
Having formally adopted a legislation aimed toward stamping out deforestation in provide chains and trying to undertake new guidelines on environmental and human rights violations, the EU is getting ready for enforcement. What does due diligence imply for meals majors like Ferrero, which is importing cocoa, coconut oil, and hazelnuts for world provide?
- Begin-up pitches: from cocoa-free chocolate to bean-free espresso
A few of customers’ best-loved merchandise (suppose chocolate and low) are linked to environmental and human rights challenges. Local weather change is threatening manufacturing and smallholder farming makes for complicated provide chains. In response, innovators are rethinking manufacturing to buildout a brand new form of ‘free-from’ class. Be a part of these pioneers as they pitch their improvements, from cocoa-free chocolate to bean-free espresso.
20 September: Local weather Good Manufacturing
Feeding rising populations inside planetary boundaries means producing extra, with much less. How can meals and beverage makers improve output with fewer pure assets? From making the change to ‘inexperienced’ power to implementing water saving methods and rethinking packaging design, we analyse the initiatives decarbonising manufacturing.
On Day 2 of Local weather Good Meals, we’ll be asking how meals majors can decarbonise their direct emissions; the place water inefficiencies are most prevalent and the way reliance might be lowered; what the longer term holds for plastic-free packaging; and whether or not we must always improve our concentrate on the blue economic system for sustainable vitamin.
Highlights embrace…
- A ‘hearth chat’ with Jodie Roussell, International Public Affairs Lead, Packaging & Sustainability, Nestlé, to debate the meals main’s rethinking of packaging to assist obtain its plastic discount targets.
Meals and beverage firms are pledging to make sure all plastic packaging might be simply and safely reused, recycled or composted sooner or later. How are meals majors like Nestlé rethinking packaging to realize their targets, and which tie-ups are serving to to hurry up the method? Hear Nestlé unwrap the challenges and alternatives concerned in rolling out sustainable packaging at scale.
- Panel dialogue: Diving into the blue economic system for sustainable vitamin
The ocean covers greater than 70% of the floor of the planet, however gives simply 2% of total calorie consumption for people. Is that this a missed alternative? From algae-based protein to reimagined seafood manufacturing, we discover new alternatives for oceans and lakes to nourish rising populations, sustainably.
21 September: Local weather Good Consumption
Buyers usually say they need ‘greener’ foods and drinks, however don’t at all times act with sustainability front-of-mind. Addressing limitations to local weather good consumption can be key to reaching meals system transformation. Shopper demand can also be an important piece of the meals tech puzzle, with pioneers banking on us innovating our manner out of the local weather disaster. Are Europeans hungry for lab-grown meals?
On Day 3 of Local weather Good Meals, we’ll be asking what impression manufacturers have on discouraging meals waste within the dwelling; how sustainability credentials can finest stand out on the shelf; whether or not European customers are prepared for cultivated meat and precision fermentation dairy; and what the longer term holds for various protein.
Highlights embrace…

Meals waste is dangerous information for the atmosphere, meals safety, and the worldwide economic system. EU policymakers are taking motion, and meals and beverage makers could also be pressured to take heed. Globally meals waste is a large downside, and far of it happens within the dwelling, so what position can meals producers like Danone play in serving to to minimise pointless waste? Can model affect move over the edge to assist shift client behaviour?
- Panel dialogue: Pioneering the protein transition for the longer term
Swapping out standard proteins for local weather friendlier alternate options has the potential to decrease a model’s carbon footprint considerably. How are innovators rethinking ingredient manufacturing for the plenty? Can they really compete with their predecessors on vitamin, performance, and accessibility?
Audio system embrace Romain Chayot, managing director, Standing Ovation, and Gregor Tegl, co-founder and CEO, Arkeon.
Be a part of the dialog dwell between 19-21 September by registering free of charge right here.
