If given the opportunity and support, smallholder farmers can be stewards of the environment
Research by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTI) showed 30 of the 84 adjudged high-impact global food, drink and agriculture companies have set net zero carbon targets.
Everyday, more follow their lead. While this is encouraging, activist organisations are concerned the 2050 net zero deadline provides time for laggards to keep their heads in the sand.
Yet if concrete net zero actions aren’t taken, then sand, or unfertile earth, may be all farmers are left with to plant the crops industry require in their products.
Businesses need a focus on their raw materials, as 70% of the food industry’s emissions are estimated to come from agriculture and land use changes within the supply chain.
