Future Green 5 Must Reads

Hey there sustainable food advocates — with COP30 now in full swing in Belém, the conversations this year are indeed louder, more urgent, and increasingly food‑focused. For the first time, deforestation‑free supply chains, nature‑positive agriculture, and corporate accountability are not just side notes. They’re being placed at the heart of climate negotiations.

What’s striking is how quickly the narrative is shifting: world leaders aren’t only talking about cutting emissions, they’re now debating land use, farming systems, and the real carbon cost of what ends up on our plates.

It’s a welcome move and one that deeply aligns with everything we’ve been championing. As announcements roll in, one message is clear: the food sector has a defining role in whether COP30 becomes a moment of real change, not just in words but in action.

Hi Reader, If you’re in foodservice, you’ve likely been here: A big client — Google, an international school, a hotel group asks about your sustainability strategy. You pause.
