WHY SUSTAINABLE FOOD MATTERS
The food value chain accounts for c. 25- 30% of total Green House Gas emissions.
According to the IPCC, observed climate change is already affecting food security through increasing temperatures, changing rain patterns, and a greater frequency of extreme events.
Combining supply-side actions such as efficient production, transport, and processing with demand-side interventions such as modification of food choices and reduction of food loss and waste, can reduce Green House Gas emissions and help feed the planet’s projected 9 billion population in 2050.
