Future Green 5 Must Reads

Hey there sustainable food advocates – I’ve often spoken about the importance of avoiding ‘silo’ thinking when it comes to sustainability. At Eco Expo Asia 2024 I had a great platform to talk about Hong Kong success stories we help to shape between food-sector tenants and landlords. Read on for more!

🍚 160 grammes: CO2-equivalent emissions from just 100 grammes of Asian rice shipped and eaten overseas, according to some data. It all adds up!

📚 3x3 = 3 secrets (via my online workshop) to creating in just 3 hours of your effort, real change on sustainability practices in your organisation.

🌏 1°C: increase in global temperatures that adds another 7% of moisture to the Earth’s atmosphere, “powering up” the hydrological cycle. Clue: it’s not a good thing.

🌾 4: precariously-narrow number of crops (wheat, rice, maize and potato) providing most of the world’s calories. Will an Arctic seed vault ensure crop diversity in case of global pests?

🗑️ 127 tonnes: plastic packaging avoided annually by an Aldi supermarket initiative. 400 million tonnes: plastic waste annually, says UN. Every journey starts with a single packet.

A ‘BEEF’ WITH RICE: SCALE MAKES IT A CARBON ‘KICKER’

At Eco Expo Asia, we've been guiding landlord developers on helping with food-sector tenant waste challenges, even before precious resources get to the plate.

INNOV-EMBER: WORKSHOP FOR THE SUSTAINABILITY LEADER YOU REALLY ARE!

YOUR WATER STARTS ITS LIFE A CONTINENT AWAY

That’s why there needs to be a global pact on water use, conservation, says a landmark review backed by the OECD.

THE GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL OF REGENERATIVE FARMING

The UK’s ‘Groundswell’ festival: among 10 (good) planet-changing food ideas. Another is B4Plastics, fighting ocean ‘ghost net’ dangers, via biodegradable fishing nets.

ANYONE REMEMBER SUPERMARKETS BEFORE PLASTIC PACKS?

Ever wanted to buy a supermarket food item and been put off by all the plastic packaging? Germany’s Aldi chain has heard you.

Check out Heidi's reel! 🥗 As the world’s population grows, especially in wealthier nations, it’s time to rethink our relationship with food. Reducing meat consumption and focusing on ‘less but better’ is crucial for a sustainable future. But that’s just one part of the equation — we also need stronger regulations and the protection of high-biodiversity areas to maintain ecological balance.
