Last week, our CEO Bobby Miller and Customer Engagement Lead Bill Findlay joined industry leaders at the Impact X Decarb Forum to dive into the future of emissions management in agriculture. It was an inspiring day of roundtable discussions and panel presentations from key players working to create a more sustainable agricultural future 🌱🚜 A standout moment? The conversation on tackling scope 3 emissions, moderated by Mark Rowland from the Climate Action Foundation, with insights from Lion’s Justin Merrell, Inghams Group Limited’s Phil Senn, Nestlé’s Amanda Robertson, and NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development’s Aaron Simmons. The discussion shed light on how corporations are managing emissions under the new reporting laws, tailoring initiatives to suit diverse production systems, and ensuring that solutions reflect the complexity of ag operations. It’s inspiring to see how much action the industry has already taken—and how ready farmers are to showcase their sustainability efforts. Here at Ruminati, we know managing Scope 3 emissions is no small feat, but forums like these prove we’re on the right track. We're committed to keeping farmers at the centre of the conversation, empowering them with tools to track their emissions and share their sustainability stories. Great work is happening across the ag industry, and together, we can ensure those efforts are amplified. #decarbonsiation #agemissions #sustainableag

Inspiring to discuss green urban develoopment on world city day. There is no more fitting place to discuss green city development than Shanghai. It was exciting to attend the Impact X event discussion green city planning, effective public transport, urban forests and parks, clean cities, green buildings and more. Many city developers and planners attended. First time I visited Shanghai (in 1984) there were no skyscrapers, no metro and no private cars. Most people wore the most boring of clothes and basically had noodles and rice for meals. It was a very poor city. 40 years later Shanghai may be the most modern city in the world. Its also a green city with numerous parks and many trees. Shanghai runs the worlds largest metro network and is piloting modern waste management. Pollution is largely defeated and traffic is very silent since buses, taxis, scooters and half of new cars are electric. But Shanghai will not stop here. Ambitions are great for an even greener and more people friendly city. I was pleased to share good practices from other great cities in China, Europe, India and more.
