Future Green 5 Must Reads

Hey there sustainable food advocates — lately, I’ve been thinking about how much of our food system runs on decisions most people never see. The sourcing call made under pressure, the rule interpreted one way instead of another, the supplier relationship quietly maintained over years rather than contracts.

This week’s stories sit right in that invisible middle. From how seafood is treated long before it reaches the kitchen, to how labour standards are upheld across borders, to how regulation either sharpens or blunts progress, they all point to the same truth. Outcomes are shaped far earlier than we often admit.

What gives me hope is that many of these choices are still in our hands. When businesses slow down just enough to ask better questions about people, process, and impact, the ripple effects can be powerful, practical, and lasting.

🌍 INSIGHT: DO RULES IMPROVE NUTRITION?

A World Economic Forum debate asks whether smarter food regulation can drive innovation and healthier diets, or if outdated rules risk slowing progress across complex global food systems.

🔥 REPORT: METHANE’S MISSING SPOTLIGHT

New analysis shows food systems are the world’s largest source of methane emissions, urging businesses to look beyond carbon and address livestock, food waste, and supply-chain decisions driving near-term climate heating.
