The food sector and the circular economy in particular, have a big potential regarding sustainability.

    Investing in the future

    The food sector is single-handedly responsible for a third of all man-made greenhouse gas emissions. If we don’t change our production methods or eating habits, we can expect agricultural production zones and land use to account for 70% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.*

  • White Flower Icon

    50% reduction in emissions

    Changing our dietary choices and making smarter use of foodstuffs (e.g. by preventing food waste and choosing a local, sustainable, low-meat diet), can reduce food-related emissions by at least 50%.*
