𝐁𝐈𝐆 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒 📰! Enviu has earned a spot among Europe's leading companies recognized by the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra for our dedication to applying circular economy principles in the fight against biodiversity loss. We're truly honored, especially for our work in East Africa through FoodFlow (a program by Enviu). The staggering impact of food and agriculture on our planet cannot be overstated – land-intensive processes have taken their toll. Through our circular solutions, we're not just tackling food loss; we're empowering smallholder farmers to embrace regenerative agriculture, forging a path to climate resilience and environmental stewardship. 💪🌿 A big thank you to Sitra, Tim Forslund, and Riku Sinervo for featuring us. We're committed to making a positive difference. Read the article here-https://lnkd.in/eCWp4c9A #CircularEconomy #CircularSolutions

🤝 Partnerships are powering our journey towards more sustainable aquaculture. 🌊 In line with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #17, “Partnerships for the Goals,” we embrace the transformative power of collaboration. Trust and respect across our value chain are essential for a thriving and sustainable food system. 🌐 We can only reach our goals with the support of our global partners. Our Sustainable Development Report spotlights several examples of these successful relationships and how each contributes to our broader objectives. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll find in the report. 👇 For more on specific projects, download our Sustainable Development Report 2023: https://lnkd.in/es_V3fES #Sustainability #CarbonReduction #Emissions #ResponsibleProduction #Aquaculture | United Nations Office for Sustainable Development (UNOSD) 

What longer-term positive effects can regenerative agriculture have on not only basins that companies work from but communities and wider? 🌾 In this first episode of the season, Will Sarni and Tom Freyberg are joined by Michael Alexander, head of environment for Diageo, the British multinational alcoholic beverage company. 🍻    The organisation has developed a 10-year action plan called Society 2030 – Spirit of Progress. This includes the ambition to replenish more water than is uses across operations in 100% of water-stress areas by 2026.     Michael talks about the wider benefits that regenerative agriculture touch like:  💧Water  💧 Biodiversity   💧 Social   💧 Economical   💧 Flooding  💧 Soil health And much more.

🌍 Happy Earth Day! 🌱 Today, we celebrate the remarkable strides made in agricultural innovation, thanks to robust systems like the EU's Community Plant Variety Rights (CPVO). 🌻🔒 🌿 The CPVO plays a critical role in promoting sustainable agriculture across Europe by ensuring that new and innovative plant varieties are protected and flourish. By fostering such biodiversity, the CPVO supports the European Green Deal, driving towards a more sustainable and resilient agricultural sector. 👩🌾 European breeders, empowered by a secure system of plant variety protection, continue to bring forward varieties that can withstand changing climates and support food security for all of us. It's a testament to how targeted policies and cooperation can lead to tangible environmental benefits. 🌾 Each protected plant variety helps in building a sustainable agricultural landscape that is resilient to pests, diseases, and climate change—crucial steps toward a sustainable future for all. Every plant variety protected is a step towards a greener future! 💚 #EarthDay2024 #Sustainability #Agriculture #Biodiversity #PlantVarietyProtection #InnovationInFarming #CPVO

📣 GCF approves funding, through its Project Preparation Facility (PPF), for Climate Asset Management to develop a strategy, in partnership with Pollination, for scaling regenerative practices at a landscape level in Sub-Saharan Africa. The blended finance and technical assistance facility to be designed aims to enhance climate adaptation and promote regenerative agriculture in the region. #Finance4Climate This #COP29 Food, Water, and Agriculture Day, read on to find out which six countries are collaborating on this initiative to scale regenerative and agroecological landscapes: https://g.cf/3ZchOgb

🥳 Celebrating World Environment Day 2024! 🎉🌍 Today, on World Environment Day, we are reminded of our collective responsibility to protect and nurture our planet. This year's theme, "Ecosystem Restoration," highlights the urgent need to revive our damaged ecosystems and preserve the environment for future generations. At Seed2Feed Foundation, we are committed to promoting sustainable agriculture practices that align with the goals of ecosystem restoration. Here’s how we contribute: 🌱Empowering Local Farmers: We facilitate the exchange of Dutch knowledge, skills, and technology to empower local farmers in Africa, promoting sustainable agricultural practices that enhance soil health and biodiversity. 🌱 Horticultural Demonstration and Training Centers: Our centers provide hands-on training and demonstrations on sustainable farming techniques, fostering a new generation of environmentally conscious farmers. 🌱 Sustainable Food Chains: By promoting cooperation among stakeholders, we work towards building resilient food chains that prioritize environmental sustainability and food security. 🌱 Innovation and Collaboration: Our strategy involves opening networks of demonstration and training centers, structuring business initiatives, and collaborating with diverse stakeholders to promote sustainable agriculture and agribusiness cooperation in Africa. We also actively involve the youth, encouraging them to apply new and up-to-date knowledge, which contributes to ongoing innovation and the development of sustainable practices. Together, we can make a difference and create a more sustainable and resilient world. 🌱🌍💚 #WorldEnvironmentDay #EcosystemRestoration #SustainableAgriculture #Seed2Feed #Environment #Sustainability

🤩 BIG news just in 🤩 Something exciting has been going on behind the scenes😃 We want to show you what ‘sustainability’ really means to us. A term that gets diluted in the industry by overuse, but we look at the facts. We are proud to launch our very first Impact Report, which encapsulates the past decade of responsible operations. In the ever-evolving landscape of aquaculture, sustainability stands as the compass guiding our journey towards responsible practices and environmental stewardship. We are passionate about our commitment to transparency, best practices, performance, respect, and the pursuit of a harmonious balance between ecological vitality and aquaculture excellence. 🐟 We recognize the impact our industry can have on the delicate balance of marine life. In this report, we share our sustainability initiatives and the measures taken to ensure the health and well-being of the environments we operate within. 🌍 Ready to dive into what the year 2023 was for Matorka? We invite you to explore our 2023 Impact Report and let us know your thoughts, read it here:  https://lnkd.in/enPj84Rk “This report is issued to show the impact of our operations and that we are, based on facts, a sustainable business.” - CEO, Christo du Plessis.  Cees-Jan Bastiaansen, CSO Maryke Musson, COO Arni Pall Einarsson, CCO Alexander K.

❗ A new WWF report shows that, every year, EU Member States are channelling an astonishing €34-48 billion into activities that harm nature 😲 Shockingly, up to 60% of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) funding —that’s more than €32 billion— is detrimental to nature while failing to support the farmers 🚜💔 The misallocation of taxpayers’ money spans other major sectors: 🐠 Fisheries: between €59 - €138 million 🚛 Transport infrastructures: between €1.7 billion - €14.1 billion 💧 Water infrastructures: between €1.3 billion - €2 billion Redirecting these harmful subsidies is not only urgent but also entirely feasible. Doing so could help bridge the €18 billion annual financing gap required to meet the EU’s 2030 Biodiversity Strategy targets 🐝 It's time for a major policy shift! Let’s prioritise nature for a sustainable transition that leaves no-one behind 💚 🔗 Read the report on https://bit.ly/3UDQLa1 #votefutureEU

Not surprising since #European #colonialism since 1500 and #industrialism since the 1800s have supported corporate expansionism since the East India Company, devastating #ecosystems, #biodiversity and #indigenous peoples. Reversing 520+ years of history will take time, which the world does not have. How quickly can the worst damages be stopped while transitioning to a new #nature- and #bio-based #greener economy? European has the talent; does it have the political will?
