🌱 How to communicate #biodiversity in the #food sector? Some of the key take aways - the Dos and Don'ts from my talk and the following interactive session at the Food for Biodiversity conference: 👉 Do get very precise on sustainability claims with proof (Green Claims Directive etc., …), no fluffy or general statements, include co-benefits for consumers, include it into your business model 👉 Do bring stakeholders together: Cooperation with farmers, fishermen and other suppliers, NGOs, labels, etc. help you achieving not only your business goals but also your communication goals 👉 Do tailor communication complexity to the channel, moment, audience, goal(s) that you want to reach 🚫 Don’t preach 🚫 Don’t educate and expect sales to go up 🚫 Don’t make claims that you cannot back up 🚫 Don’t consider biodiversity as main value of your product 🚫 Don’t bash other product, focus on your benefits 🚫 Don't externalize responsibilities, take action yourself (“We have the responsibility, you have the taste”, "We also work with farmers directly and go beyond labels") Thank you for the invitation Global Nature Fund & Food for Biodiversity and to the fellow fellow session speakers Julius Palm, Maria Julia Oliva and the other participants from companies, NGOs, research, very inspiring!

🌱 The FutureFoodS partnership for Sustainable Food Systems has been launched! 🤝 Involving 86 partners from 29 countries, it aims to accelerate the development of sustainable food systems trough the mobilization of local and national governments, civil society organisations, universities and other research organizations🔝 ♻ The partnership will contribute to the EU’s Green Deal objective “Fair, healthy and environmentally friendly food systems, from primary production to consumption”. It will strive to accelerate the change towards safe, sustainable, healthy and resilient food systems while making them trusted and accessible and respecting our planetary boundaries. 📅 Planned actions include open calls for research and innovation, with the first call launching before the end of 2024. This partnership will also develop Living Labs, a new EU food system observatory and also organise several knowledge sharing events.

Nice interview about nice topic... Worth reading :)

Meet Emily Norford and Hanna Rut Carlsson, our dedicated nominations team. With the Food Planet Prize 2025 longlist coming soon, let’s take a moment to introduce the people working tirelessly to find those with the greatest potential to contribute to a sustainable food system. ⚫️ Emily, our Nominations Manager, leads the process of receiving, synthesizing, and evaluating nominated initiatives. Before joining the Food Planet Prize, Emily focused on urban food systems at EAT, a global nonprofit devoted to transforming food systems. She has also held positions at the World Resources Institute, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Environmental Law Institute. In addition to food systems, her work has spanned sustainable cities, climate, governance, renewable energy access, natural resources, and environmental and social safeguards. “Food is an exciting topic because it brings together communities with diverse perspectives and priorities. I entered the food systems space because of food’s climate impact, which allowed me to connect with people motivated by nutrition, farmer livelihoods, or biodiversity. A healthy and sustainable diet are often one and the same.” ⚫️ Hanna Rut Carlsson, our Nominations Coordinator, assists Emily in the evaluation process and is in charge of screening new nominations. She holds an MSc in Social-Ecological Systems for Sustainable Development from the Stockholm Resilience Centre (SRC). She specializes in sustainable food systems and has researched food systems modelling at the SRC. Beyond research, Hanna has worked with sustainability issues at Albaeco and through volunteer engagements across Argentina, Denmark, and Sweden. She has also published the ecocritical novel Sista hösten i Legoland (link in comments). “I love working with food systems because food is such an essential need. Every person depends on it daily, and sustainability’s complex challenges ultimately come down to one clear goal: ensuring we have good food on our plates.” ⚫️ Stay tuned for the Food Planet Prize 2025 longlist! #FoodPlanetPrize #FoodSystems

🌍 Reflecting on an Impactful Week 🌱 What an incredible week it has been! I’ve had the honor of speaking at key events, being featured in news outlets, and impacting communities — all in the spirit of World Food Day’s theme: "Water is Life, Water is Food. Leave No One Behind." From discussing the future of agriculture to partnering with organizations that share the vision of sustainable food systems, the conversations and actions we are engaging in today are shaping a better, food-secure tomorrow. 🌾🌍 Every interaction, every handshake, and every event this week has reaffirmed my belief in the power of collaboration. Together, we’re not just talking about change — we’re living it. The future of farming is bright, sustainable, and inclusive, and I’m grateful to be part of this journey. As we look ahead, I am reminded that the road to transforming agriculture is a shared responsibility. Let’s keep striving, innovating, and ensuring no one is left behind in our mission for a healthier planet and people. #WorldFoodDay #SustainableAgriculture #FarmerImpact #CommunityBuilding #WaterIsLife #FoodSecurity #LeaveNoOneBehind #FutureOfFarming #AgricultureTransformation
