Future Green 5 Must Reads

Hey there sustainable food advocates – people need to know where they’ve come from, to understand where they’re going to. This edition features a look back at key moments of our 2024 work in the global sustainability drive, and how new technology and communication routes are helping to amplify our effort this year and beyond. Exciting, eh?!

🤖 AI – we used ChatGPT to write the headline and summary for our first story below, about how we’re using tech to do more and reach more people. See what you think!

📊 2024 in numbers: 960 minutes in Member Monthly Meetups; 27 students taught via our certified sustainability courses; 8 Strategy Sprint Workshops; 8 invitations as event speaker; 92 Webinar sign ups; 33 companies as partners: there’s more.

🌱 Key for 2025: lab-grown meat, plant-based alternatives, advanced carbon tracking, and regenerative agriculture to reshape the food system.

COP29: NOT A GREAT DEAL, BUT THE COST OF INACTION IS FAR WORSE

Finance pledges to the global south to tackle climate change should be seen as investment in the global economy, rather than a cost.

NEED TO KNOW: 2025 SUSTAINABLE FOOD PRODUCTION TRENDS

Lab-grown meat, plant-based alternatives, advanced carbon tracking, and regenerative agriculture will be 2025 essentials as the climate crisis builds.

IT’S GETTING EASIER TO IDENTIFY CARBON-NEGATIVE FOODS!

We say the work of agriculture powerhouses such as New Zealand on greenhouse gas reporting – and France soon on carbon labelling – needs replicating worldwide.
