In Brazil, we implement an innovative water recycling process at our sugar mills and sugarcane plantations that allows us to reduce our overall water intake by up to 15%. This not only conserves precious water resources today but also ensures their availability for the generations to come. “These systems differentiate us on sustainability and our competitors are already looking to follow our lead,” explains Marcelo Cavalli, Engineering Project Manager, COFCO International Brazil. https://lnkd.in/e6aaJ8t9 #eusoucofco #cofcointernational 🎥Jesper Schwartz

At our plantations in São Paulo state in Brazil, we rotate sugarcane with soybeans to improve soil health, increase yields and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the need for synthetic fertilisers. “Soybeans fit well into our sugarcane rotation. They fix nitrogen in the soil and have enabled us to make production gains of up to 10% over the past five years,” says LUIZ GUSTAVO ARES KABBACH, agronomic planning manager at COFCO International Brazil. Leveraging natural ways to fertilise crops is part of our climate strategy. Improved productivity creates value for the business, with farming teams harvesting 60 bags of soy per hectare, compared to the national average of 55 bags. We cultivate 44,350 tonnes of soybeans annually through this initiative. Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/eY8hp_AX #eusoucofco #cofcointernational 🎥Jesper Schwartz

Many thanks to the IFACC Initiative, a collaboration between Tropical Forest Alliance at the World Economic Forum, The Nature Conservancy and UN Environment Programme, for an insightful and inspiring event at The Gherkin as part of the London Climate Action Week this Monday. It was an honour to be among the panelists speaking about "Scaling Innovative Finance Mechanisms for Sustainable Land Use in Latin America", sharing the role COFCO International has to play in the transition to sustainable agriculture, work done to date and opportunities for collaboration with the finance sector. Very pleased to hear the strong alignment amongst all in the room on the importance of farmers being at the centre of this transition, and on the need to finance restoration of degraded lands so that they can be used for agriculture, reducing pressure on natural ecosystems. 🌱
