Mitigating Climate Change Along Agri-Food Chain

Helping the Agri-Food chain reduce greenhouse gas emissions, employ renewable energy systems, and enhance energy efficiency.

A first step is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to near zero in the very near future!

A second step is to implement low carbon solutions.

A third step is support and report on Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) requirements.

For more information, please refer to Mitigation Actions.

Adopting Circular Economy Principles

Helping the Agri-Food chain move toward circular economy processes and maximize resource efficiency.

A circular economy is an economic system aimed at eliminating waste and designing in the continual use of resources.

The 3 principles of a circular economy are:

Design out waste and pollution
Keep products and materials in use
Regenerate natural systems.

And it is a regenerative system in which resource input and waste, emission, and energy leakage are minimized by slowing, closing, and narrowing energy and material loops.

For more information, please refer to Circular Economy.

Reporting on Sustainability - Climate & ESG

Helping the Agri-Food chain establish sustainable operations through globally adopted Climate, Carbon, and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting structures.

Corporations need to report on and meet various sustainability goals as mandatory requirements for financing and being recommended as climate safe investments by investment advisors. Global food production and consumption generates high carbon, water, and nutrient footprints.

For more information, please refer to Sustainability Reporting.

Cellular Meat and Precision Fermentation

Cellular agriculture is a biotechnology that allows the harvesting agricultural products grown from cell cultures.

The current industrialized agriculture system will soon be impacted by foods being engineered by scientists at a molecular level. The process of precision fermentation allows scientists to program microorganisms to produce various complex organic molecules.

And from the molecules produced during precision fermentation, various recipes will be available in databases for use of food designers.

This process supports the production of healthy foods without the environmental impacts of todays industrialized agriculture.

And more distributed, resilient, and local food systems will evolve, and perhaps unaffected by extreme climate events, diseases, and geographic advantages that form global sources of food production today.
