Bringing sustainability to the table at the Indian Sugar & Bio-energy Manufacturers Association Conference 💬 Danielle Morley took part in a panel discussion to explore how the sugar sector in India could advance its sustainability practices and achieve its targets, and discuss the role of innovative approaches. With growing demand for fair practices and certified ethanol, we have a key role to play in facilitating the adoption of sustainable practices in the country. Our close partnership with ISMA is helping to accelerate this work. Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Lescop (SUCDEN Groupe Sucres & Denrées), Pankaj Rastogi (Dalmia Bharat Sugar & Industries Limited), narendra mohan, and Subhash Kumar (ISMA) for the valuable discussion. If you're involved in the sugar-energy sector in India and would like to collaborate on sustainability, leave us a DM 💬

Monitoring weather patterns for efficient use of water and pesticides in sugarcane plantations ⛅️🔍 That’s what Raízen and Arable are working towards in Araçatuba, Brazil, as part of an initiative supported by the Bonsucro Impact Fund. Arable has developed a solution that streamlines the collection of large amounts of in-field data. The data is used to improve the productive, financial, and ecological outcomes of sugarcane farming at the local and global level. We recently visited some of the farms that have been testing the monitoring device. Hearing from the farmers about their experience has been valuable. It will inform necessary adjustments for the project, such as stronger technical assistance to ensure farm staff is able to use the devices and the collected data. Thank you to the farm managers for taking the time to have us and to the Raizen and Arable teams for organising the visits 🙏 Learn more about the project: https://lnkd.in/g6dPuPAR 💰 Supported by the Bonsucro Impact Fund, powered by the sale of Bonsucro Credits #Raizen #Arable #ClimateResilience #Sugarcane #Weather #WeatherMonitoring #SustainableAgriculture #WaterManagement #Pesticides

Maritime transports are crucial to global trade. But like every sector, their GHG emissions need to be addressed. 🚢🌏 Alternative fuels have an essential role to play. At Bonsucro, we help producers and buyers decarbonise the sector and meet their sustainability goals with sugarcane based ethanol.

A firsthand look into an inspiring project in Pakistan 👀 The initiative, led by SW Sugar Mills, supports sugarcane smallholders with the implementation of more climate-friendly practices to strengthen climate resilience, enhance resource efficiency and increase productivity. See what it looks like in practice 👇 More about the project: https://lnkd.in/ebEymMgK #Sugarcane #ClimateResilience #Smallholders #Pakistan
Bed nursery completed for trial plot under Bonsucro Impact Fund (BIF) Project. After germination, buds will shifted in the field. This trial is for 1 canal. Aim of this trial plot is to check the germination rate, No. of tillers, pest attack and number of internodes as a comparison of control plot (Normal Sowing). It's aim is also to motivate the Sugarcane farmers for ratoon gap fillings in the field after harvesting. Preparing a bed nursery for sugarcane is a crucial step in ensuring healthy and vigorous plant growth. Some benefits of nursery are given below: -Healthy, vigorous seedlings. -Improved germination rate. -Enhanced sugarcane yields. #sugarcanelovers #nursery #agrarians

Vamos acelerar a agenda ESG no setor sucroenergético do Paraná, no Brasil 🌎 Excelente poder falar com usinas e destilarias nesta sessão organizada pela Alcopar (Associação de Produtores de Bioenergia do Estado do Paraná). Mudança climática e direitos humanos não podem esperar. Na Bonsucro, nós estamos prontos para ajudar o setor da cana-de-açúcar a agir agora, não apenas por meio da certificação, mas também pelo uso de nossas ferramentas, como a ClimateCane Tracker. Muito obrigada, Alcopar, por nos convidar! #canadeaçúcar #sustentabilidade

In the sugarcane supply chain, farming is the biggest GHG contributor. But there are multiple ways companies can identify and reduce their GHG emissions. We're here to support them in this process. In 2020, a study using a sample of Bonsucro-certified mills and farmers in Brazil showed a 31% reduction in GHG emissions in farms and 20% in mills over the first 4 years of certification. The same study showed that certification leads to reductions in water, fertiliser and herbicide use, and pre-harvest sugarcane burning. We look into sources of emissions and how to address them on the blog: https://lnkd.in/euWQpZK6 #Sugarcane #CanaDeAzucar #CanaDeAçucar #GHGemissions #GHGmitigation #ClimateAction #SustainableFarming
