Net Zero Food System
We will enable the transition to a net zero food system, measuring and quantifying the change through reduced CO2 equivalent emissions.
The food system is responsible for almost a third of greenhouse gas emissions, with connected challenges such as food waste, resource depletion and energy consumption.
