Sustainability can be intimidating with the landscape continuing to evolve. This course served as an excellent barometer for us to understand our current sustainability status, network with others, and reinforce our direction and specific sustainability priorities as being relevant to the industry as a whole. Listen to our conversation with Equitable Food Initiative and LeAnne Rhodes Ruzzamenti on sustainability and our analysis of sustainability priorities! Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gdXvhdfX

Over the next few weeks we will explore the sustainable innovation driving down the carbon cost of your diet. My colleague Adam Kelvey kicks off with an overview of some of the areas that are ripe for innovation #sustainability #intellectualproperty

Sustainability is setting a new standard for the food industry. For food producers and food services, embracing sustainability isn't just about trendy marketing; it's about making responsible choices that can have a significant impact on the environment and your bottom line. One powerful tool in your sustainability toolkit is the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Are you ready to harness the powers of LCAs? Click through to get the answers to all your questions about this methodology—short and simple.

How green is the food you eat? Over the next few weeks we will explore the sustainable innovation driving down the carbon cost of your diet. We start with a little amuse-bouche, I hope you are hungry! 🍽 🥩 🥦 ☕ 🍩 #sustainability

We’re excited to announce our partnership with Klimato. 🌿 Together we aim to help our procurement clients reduce their climate impact while meeting the EU's upcoming sustainability reporting requirements. With this collaboration, our clients who have or will enter agreements with Klimato can easily calculate the climate footprint of food and beverages in their product catalogs. Millum ensures access to all necessary raw data, while Klimato calculates the carbon footprint of each product in CO2 equivalents. We're excited to work together in making it faster and easier for our clients to track emissions and report their climate footprint. 🌍💚 #procurement #sustainability

Our working paper in collaboration with Jan M. Bauer and Lucia Reisch, as part of the BEACON Behavioural Insights for a Circular Society project funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation is now available. It's about a large field experiment, where we provided participants with carbon footprint information and discount vouchers to promote more sustainable food choices at a festival. Our findings reveal that providing carbon footprint information about main ingredients alone did not significantly affect food choices. However, offering discount vouchers resulted in a notable increase in the selection of vegetarian options, demonstrating once again the power of financial incentives in driving sustainable behavior. Interestingly, we observe that individuals who are not interested in vegetarian options also tend to ignore the carbon emission information, indicating a gap in engagement with sustainability efforts. Finally, while vouchers successfully shifted behavior, the cost of the associated emission reductions was prohibitively high—over $2,000 per ton of CO2e—suggesting that such approaches may not be cost-effective in the long run. Alternative strategies, such as limiting the number of high carbon footprint food options to reduce emissions, might be more efficient. https://lnkd.in/dy-UhePf
