Have you heard about the EU directive against 'Greenwashing'? If not, check out our blog post where we tell you exactly what it means for food companies and retailers! Over the years, companies have liberally applied terms like 'climate-neutral,' 'green,' 'eco-friendly,' and '100% natural' to their products. 🌿 But that era is drawing to a close with the EU's crackdown on greenwashing and misleading product information through the new directive dubbed 'Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition' (ECGT). 🌍 The purpose of the directive is to protect consumers from deceptive environmental claims and advertising. #greenclaimsdirective #foodfacts #fooddata #foodtech #eudirective #sustainablefood #foodsystemstransformation #foodsystemchange #ecgtdirective #eugreendeal #hållbarmat #hållbarhetskommunikation

Do you work with sustainability or the product portfolio at a food company? 📄 In our 3-part article series, we’ve explored the pros and cons of various carbon footprint methods. Now, it’s time to dive into the third method, FoodFacts automation of CO2 estimates. 🔍🌍 Read about it in our blog post. 📖 Read the previous parts: ✅ Part 1 on LCAs: https://lnkd.in/g5yTR4Gh ✅ Part 2 on Category-level carbon footprints: https://lnkd.in/ggAivXut #foodfacts #co2 #carbonfootprint #foodtech #fooddata #climatetech #sustainabilitydata #climatedata

On Thursday 🌱 FoodFacts joined AGFO talk to find out about the latest in measuring the biodiversity impact of food. 🐝 FoodFacts is proud to be part of the RISE Research Institutes of Sweden Biodiversity database project group alongside Coop Sverige. 🌿🤝 Key Takeaways from the event: - Mattis Bergquist, Chief Sustainability at Coop Sverige, highlighted that while measuring biodiversity is challenging and not exact, the RISE project's second phase aims to enhance measurement accuracy and will include more parts in the calculations. 📊🔍 - With numerous methodologies under development to gauge biodiversity loss, we will see a growing need for a harmonized system, similar to carbon footprints. 🌍 - Robert Dinwiddie Yondt, expert on biodiversity from KRAV, revealed that organic farms have 50% more pollinators and plant species compared to conventional farms. 🐞 Here's an insight from our CEO, Alexandra Ferreira, on this topic: “If we take everyone on the same journey that we have taken with carbon dioxide, in ten years we will all have a better understanding of which methods and substances harm or improve biodiversity and will be able to avert the looming loss of biodiversity.” What do you think about the future of biodiversity measurements? Let us know in the comment section. 💬 #fooddata #foodfacts #foodtech #biodiversity Malin Jonell, Stockholm Resilience Centre, Cecilia Cronwall, Mission anew, Anders Engström
