The Issue Food sector companies will not only be heavily influenced by climate change but also play a pivotal role in it. By making smart choices, food providers can stand on the front line of the fight against climate change!
Unsurprisingly, the food itself is critical in lowering food sector companies’ carbon footprints. For example, in food retail, Scope 1 and 2 emissions—direct store operations or energy use—only account for about 7% of the total emissions associated with grocers. Meanwhile, 93% of their emissions come from Scope 3, which is generated across the supply chain. Meat and dairy account for half of these Scope 3 emissions. This doesn’t even take into account food production’s impact on soil degradation, water consumption, or eutrophication.
Worsening heat stress, volatile weather conditions, and forthcoming climate legislation and policies are anticipated to drive up costs in the food industry, particularly for animal-based products. Addressing these challenges and reducing GHG emissions is a crucial strategy for food companies to help build a sustainable future while mitigating risks and strengthening their market position.
