Ellen MacArthur Foundation: “To create an environmentally friendly food production system, we must redesign the supply chain by diversifying ingredients and regenerating crops.” In this way we can reduce emissions by 70%<\/h2>\n

\u201cRather than bending nature to produce food, food can be designed for nature to thrive\u201d according to the latest report<\/a> released by Ellen MacArthur Foundation<\/strong>. Global food is searching for a balance while the production system “is the primary driver of biodiversity loss<\/strong>,” says the study<\/a>. And some consumer products have an abnormal role in this: “40% of agricultural land use is influenced by the top 10 Fast-moving consumer goods companies (FMCGs) and retailers”. In short, we need to change all of this. It’s time “to create a food system that is distributed, diverse<\/strong>, and inclusive.”<\/p>\n

\u2153 of global GHGs and 50% of human-induced #biodiversity<\/a> loss comes from the food industry. <\/p>\n

What if food could help to tackle climate change and build diversity? The big food redesign explains how we can make a nature-positive future: https:\/\/t.co\/BmnounHiZV<\/a>#RegeneratingNature<\/a><\/p>\n
