Innovation Forum: Reducing climate impacts in agriculture - How are leading food brands taking action?

From: 05.02.2020 To: 05.02.2020 Share

In order to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees, GHG emissions must fall 45% by 2030 and to zero by 2050. This reduction is required at a time of rapidly expanding food production. The FAO estimates that food and feed production will need to increase by 70% by 2050 to meet the world's food needs.

To meet climate targets and avoid the impending climate catastrophe, food companies must radically adapt practices. And with the clock ticking, the next 10 years will be critical.

In this session, we’ll discuss and debate:

What leading food brands are currently doing to reduce climate impacts
The real-world practicalities: Science based targets are fine, but what will make them happen?
How to effectively scale up initiatives that absorb carbon, such as land restoration and increasing biodiversity
Assess how brands can map the route to 2030 for effective implementation.

We’ll be joined by:

Christine McGrath, vice president and chief of global impact, sustainability, and well-being, Mondelēz International

Jon Hixson, vice president of government relations and global citizenship, Yum! Brands

Anna Turrell, head of sustainability, Nestlé
