Future Green 5 Must Reads

Hey there sustainable food advocates – the year may be winding down, but our work is only ramping up!

I recently led a sustainability workshop for International Culinary Institute students. You can check out the reel here.

Special Announcement! ‘Sprint Green’ – our new office in Amsterdam, leading the European race in sustainability work via the Netherlands!

🍲 32 recipes for you to try, brought to HK by refugees from around the world. Learn more at our Members Monthly Meetup, 13th November.

🧑‍🏫 New Year, new you, career-wise! Join me in the first quarter so I can train you, to train your peers, in Carbon Literacy.

🌿 Scope 3: Whether a big or not so big food-sector player, the emissions of others matter more and more! I break things down on radio show ‘Trash Talk’.

🍳 A Finnish product: Solar Foods says it has a high-tech cultured alternative to soy, eggs, milk and meat.

⚡ 720 grammes - CO2-equivalent emissions per kilowatt-hour from burning waste for power, nearly as much as the 730 grammes if burning coal for power: BBC research.

GET INTO VOLUNTEERISM WITHOUT DISRUPTING YOUR OPS!

If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a food sector to nurture as well as feed day-to-day, a whole community.

TAKE THE CARBON LITERACY ‘TRAIN-THE-TRAINER’ TRAIN (WOO WOO)

Charge your career with an entirely sustainable and perpetual super fuel: the means to lead others on Carbon Literacy, via my train-the-trainer course!

I UNTANGLE THE SUSTAINABILITY SPAGHETTI VIA PODCAST!

Weight, provenance, farming methods: key ingredients for restaurateurs to work out carbon labels for their dishes, with a bit of nifty software.

NORDIC KNOW-HOW: MICROBE-PROTEIN ALTERNATIVE TO SOY

Cell-cultured protein = capital-intensive, but doesn’t need much space. Might governments adopt it for food security, creating scale the market hasn’t managed so far?

UPDATE DATA OR SUSTAINABILITY UP IN SMOKE!

Do a theoretically good thing (burning waste for power) without updating data on waste mix (say, food versus plastics). Result? More pollution than coal!


Is our food system truly secure? When we talk about food security, it’s more than just having enough to eat. It’s about ensuring everyone has access to safe, nutritious, and culturally appropriate food that promotes health. Discover the hidden gaps in food security and how it impacts our nutrition and health! 🥗
