Do food companies need to worry about the 'nature-related risks' of the farms they source from? A question I’m asking Think of what’s going on in The River Wye, plus the rise of mega farm, struggles to comply with environmental pollution regs across likes of dairy and now the legal opinion stating that companies do need to consider nature-related risks under English company law, and it’s a heady mix of issues food firms are facing. So, do food companies sourcing from farms (whether mega or not) need to be concerning themselves with the environmental impact those farms have - especially when half of farms outside of the environmental permitting regime have been found outside of compliance with environmental rules? If so, does this mean we'll be seeing more of the type of cases just launched against chicken processor Avara for its impact on the river Wye? Those interested in chatting. Please do drop me a line.

Update on the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR): The European Council has agreed to back the Commission’s proposal to postpone implementation of the EUDR by one year. The next step is for the European Parliament to vote on the proposal, due to take place during the plenary session on November 13-14, 2024. This decision will significantly impact environmental policy and stakeholder engagement across Europe.

It's Food Waste Action Week And reading this post, we welcome that food waste is being highlighted as a structural challenge and moving away from it being a consumer behaviour problem. People want to eat healthy, nutritious affordable food! More about Dr Carrie Bradshaw who is a legal academic with a background in environmental law, particularly waste & climate change, and who is: "keen for my research to inform the design of legal tools to reduce food waste across the food supply chain." #FoodWasteActionWeek!

It sets minimum standards for materials in contact with drinking water across the EU, enhancing consumer protection and market efficiency. Article 11 introduces a framework for maintaining hygiene standards, including European positive lists of authorized substances and streamlined update procedures. Starting from the end of 2025, economic operators and national authorities can propose list modifications, with applications for new entries or amendments to ECHA accepted by the end of 2026. These updates promote the safety and quality of EU drinking water, fostering public health and environmental sustainability. #DrinkingWater #EURegulations #PublicHealth #EnvironmentalProtection Source: https://lnkd.in/dX2xeRBV
