So after a chat with Stephanie Singer, I got over my excuses and decided to grow food in my garden. This weekend I spent some time planting out potatoes, parsnips, onions and herbs with carrot and beetroot to join the fold in a few weeks. If you have any pointers on how to make a good compost, let me know! ---------------------- 🐝 My name is Stephanie. Founder of Farming Carbon 🌾 Working with business to deliver ESG in their business, while developing ways to empower and educate farmers for increased transparency in food supply chains 🗓️ I post about Food Security, Biodiversity & Sustainability - and what it means for business 📈 Follow me for sustainability content #esg #foodwaste #climateanxiety #sustainability

At Johnvents Group, we believe that a sustainable cocoa industry is not just a goal—it's a necessity for the well-being of our planet and its people. Our recent training initiative has empowered our Licensed Buying Agents (LBAs) to become champions of sustainable cocoa farming and supply. By equipping our LBAs with the knowledge and tools to adopt sustainable practices, we're taking significant strides towards creating a deforestation-free future for the cocoa industry. Sustainable practices not only benefit the environment, but also provide a number of advantages for our LBAs. By adopting these practices, LBAs can improve cocoa yields and quality, gain access to new markets that demand sustainably sourced cocoa, and build stronger relationships with cocoa farmers. We're proud to be leading this charge and are committed to driving positive change across the entire supply chain. Together, we can protect our planet and ensure that future generations enjoy the benefits of a thriving and sustainable cocoa industry. #nourishingtheworld #fightagainstdeforestation #ethicalsourcing

Grow more yields with less environmental impact We take the full life cycle responsibility for all our products – from raw materials to finished products - to ensure the safety of our employees, business partners and customers—to improve the soil fertility and crop health, without compromising the climate. Sustainability is integral to our success as we always take into account the social, economic, and environmental dimensions. We continue to promote sales of sustainable products. We have defined a “sustainable product” as one that provides a measurable improvement over existing market solutions – by addressing at least one of the identified global challenges – without retreating in performance against any of the others. At VAN, we see and live sustainability as a concrete solution to transform the agri food system, improve access to healthy food and ultimately, fulfil our ambition of Growing more food with less resources.

What is Land to Market™? The era of greenwashing and shopper doubt is coming to an end. For the first time in history, we can let consumers know a product’s impact on the environment, with empirical data to back it up, then highlight those products that are having a net-positive impact on the land, and thus empower individuals to vote with their food dollar like never before. The Land to MarketTM (L2M) programme is just as it is named. It connects the produce from regenerating land to conscious consumers globally. It creates a new opportunity for consumers to play an active role in healing the environment. This scientifically based verification takes assumption out of the equation and quantifies actual outcomes on the land.

It’s time for change: today, I’m excited to be launching Choices for Change, ofi’s new sustainability strategy, unveiling 2030 social and environmental targets set for our global operations, which span ~50 countries. The strategy provides our customers and their consumers with specific choices to deliver long-term impact across four critical pillars: Prosperous Farmers, Thriving Communities, Climate Action, and Regenerating the Living World. In setting out Choices for Change, we’re clear that the strategy is inextricably linked to our Purpose ‘to be the change for good food and a healthy future’ – benefitting farmers, communities and nature and driving forward our ambition to become the preferred partner for positive change for those we collaborate with. We know our customers are looking to ofi to help them deliver their own sustainability targets – and it’s both our expertise and deep-rooted presence in farming communities that means they can turn to us to help make positive change happen.  Enabling better choices, right across the value chain is the essence of this new strategy. Together with the brands behind your favorite chocolate bar, your go-to chili sauce or your morning cappuccino, and the farmers growing the ingredients that go into them, we’ll make the right choices.   Success relies on supply chain excellence, empowering our partners and customers to create positive change. This means traceability, data and insights, risk mitigation and strong policies to drive regulatory compliance, human rights, and environmental due diligence.
