When it comes to committing to sustainability - be it businesses, daily lifestyle or consumption, these choices are often considered temporary. For some, it’s a trend. Some believe we can stop being sustainable once our ecosystems are restored. There are many social and economic factors that play a role in shaping anyone’s beliefs on sustainability. We have to break it to you. Sustainability is a never-ending commitment. Because the need for sustainability is never-ending. While our planet is at a point well beyond the climate crisis, we desperately need to be sustainable. Not only to minimise further damage, but to also reverse the damage caused from centuries of over-consumption and waste. It needs to start at the ground floor. Farmers need to be empowered to help them become sustainable in their farming practices. Be it enabling their transition to sustainable farming products, prioritising quality & safety standards, conserving the ecosystem around them and more. And we have to stick to it. Because it is the overconsumption and commercialisation of farming that brought us to this point in the first place.

🌱 Why Sustainability Matters to the Food Industry? 💥 The decline of natural habitats, from farming through to developing land, that is now posing significant risks to the food industry, affecting everything from resource availability and food quality, right the way through to supply chain issues. 🌟 However, it’s this loss of biodiversity and nature degradation which is presenting forward-thinking businesses with a wonderful opportunity to lead the path towards ecological restoration and long-term sustainability. 📍 Many businesses are aware that their operations are causing harm to the environment. 📍 They are looking for ways to offset that impact that aligns with their values. 📍 Implementing nature-based solutions mitigates these challenges while supporting profitability. Nature-based Solutions are just one of the ways that Seeds To Thrive are helping food industry businesses work with nature, not against it. 🌱 Find out more on this month’s blog ➡ https://shorturl.at/mEvIA

Farm Friday! Today, we're showing off how our Farm and Sustainability Teams measure carbon sequestration at the Gaia Herbs Farm. Zach West - Farm Operations Manager - and Ashley Walgren, MS - Sustainability & Social Impact Senior Specialist - tell you all about why carbon sequestration is important, how it is measured, and what we're doing at the farm to help address climate concerns! Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide - a key driver of climate change! Healthy soil naturally captures carbon, which helps support the growth of healthy plants (the foundation for our herbal supplements). Disruptions in soil (like tilling) release carbon back into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change and diminishing plant health. This is one reason the Gaia Farm practices regenerative farming techniques - to help offset our own carbon emissions, protect the environment, and grow healthy plants for healthy supplements (for healthy bodies).

🌍🌱 Celebrating Earth Day with a Focus on Food Sustainability 🌱🌍 On this Earth Day, let's take a moment to reflect on the impact of our food choices on the planet. Food sustainability plays a crucial role in preserving our environment and ensuring a brighter future for generations to come. By making conscious decisions about what we eat, we can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving water resources, and protecting biodiversity. Opting for locally sourced, organic, and seasonal produce not only supports local farmers but also reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation. Let's embrace sustainable farming practices, such as regenerative agriculture and agroforestry, that promote soil health, enhance biodiversity, and sequester carbon. This Earth Day, let's commit to making a positive impact through our food choices. Together, we can create a more sustainable and resilient future for our planet. 🌎💚

Day 4 of the ECO30 Sustainable living challenge is buying local produce and it's benefits. This is such an important challenge and this my pepper which I bought it in the market. Purchasing local produce can have a huge impact on the environment and the local economy. By supporting local farms, you're helping to: ~reduce the amount of energy and resources needed to transport food from faraway places. ~Plus, local farms often use more sustainable practices, such as organic farming, which reduces the amount of pesticides and other chemicals used on crops. ~This also helps to preserve local biodiversity and protect the health of the soil. Yeah🤗You're🫵🏾 making a difference in so many ways, simply by buying local produce! 👏 #ECO30Impact - my little step to saving mother Earth☺️🤭

Sustainability isn't just a buzzword; it's a business imperative. For companies in the food industry, green chickpeas represent an opportunity to align profitability with environmental responsibility. Consumers increasingly demand sustainable food options, and green chickpeas fit the bill perfectly. They appeal to health-conscious individuals, vegans, and those looking to reduce their carbon footprint. By incorporating green chickpeas into product lines, businesses can meet this growing demand while promoting a positive brand image. Moreover, the environmental benefits of green chickpeas translate to cost savings. Their lower water and pesticide requirements reduce input costs, and their role in improving soil health can enhance long-term agricultural productivity. Investing in green chickpeas is an investment in the future. It’s a strategic move that can drive growth, foster innovation, and contribute to a more sustainable world. Let's embrace this opportunity and lead towards a greener food industry.

🌍 Celebrating Earth Day! Climate change poses one of the most significant challenges of our era. As a company, we have a responsibility not only to our consumers but also to the communities in which we operate and to the planet. We want to make breakfast better, while creating a positive impact on the world around us. Last year, we launched our Net Zero commitment, planning to reduce our emissions by 20% by 2025, 50% by 2030 and regenerating our resources to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. 🌾 The sourcing of our ingredients is the primary contributor to the majority of our emissions. Recognizing this challenge, we are fully dedicated to actively reducing the carbon emissions associated with our ingredient sourcing. One of the key strategies we employ is prioritizing regenerative agriculture and providing support to farmers as they transition to these sustainable practices. By doing so, we aim to not only mitigate our environmental impact but also promote the long-term health and resilience of our agricultural systems. 🌾 We’re just at the start of our journey. Our short-term ambition is to source 13% of our cereals and grains from regenerative agriculture sources by 2025, accelerating this to 50% by 2030. Five projects across the world - France, UK, Poland, Mexico, and Australia - have already been launched to help us reach this target. However, regenerative agriculture encompasses far more than just carbon sequestration. It is a holistic approach that aims to restore and revitalize our soil, enhance biodiversity, and safeguard our water resources. 🌎 Together, we can make a meaningful impact. 🌍 hashtag#EarthDay hashtag#Sustainability hashtag#NetZero hashtag#WeAreCPW hashtag#WeMakeBreakfastBetter Emily Thomas Alessandro Monica Luc Imbert Spyros Tryfonas Nicolas Wahli Pauline Ancian Nicole Barraud-Estoppey Courtney Hamacher Bronwyn McLean Nicolas RAFFIN
