This will be an informative session with key experts in Climate Smart Commodities!

Wrapping up day one with inspiring insights from Camilla Riddiford, Senior Sustainability Manager at Arla Foods! What better way to close out the day than with an inspiring talk by Camilla Riddiford, Senior Sustainability Manager at Arla Foods, on 'Sustainable Dairy Farming: Is it Possible?'. Camilla's talk left us with a sense of hope and a renewed commitment to making a positive impact on the world of dairy farming. It's clear that with the right practices and a dedicated focus on sustainability, the answer to her question is a resounding "Yes, it is possible!" #SustainableFoodsLondon #Sustainability #DairyFarming #PositiveImpact #SustainableFoodsLondon #Sustainability #FoodIndustry #SustainableFuture #SFLDN23 #SFL23 #SFL #Circulareconomy #foodchain #supplychain

Love Built - WOW! on Wednesday. Looking back to see forward... This week's highlight: Big Picture Foods The epitome of "slow food", Big Picture Foods works with small farms committed to practicing regenerative agriculture. Industry veterans Daniela & Chris Jensen saw first-hand the shortcomings of our food system - how it prioritized cost savings and speed over the quality of food. Knowing there was a better way, they partnered with longtime friend and colleague, Sotiris, set their sights on The Big(er) Picture. They're "part of a bigger movement to bring back a new (old) way of doing things – disrupting industrial practices, exposing false promises and bringing clean, better food to more people." You can be sure you're on the wining side when you purchase Big Picture Foods' FULL PRODUCT LINE, as it is officially Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC)! Not only is ROC better for the land and the farmer - it creates nutrient rich foods that deliver more robust flavors; flavors manifested in raw and fermented olives, peppers and capers. Integrating right livelihood for all and committing to upholding a regenerative practice is the premise of Big Picture Foods. I give gratitude each day (not just on Wednesdays) to people that see the Big Picture and put in the hard work to shift the extractive systems to systems of regeneration.

#DYK that more than two thirds of our emissions come from the ingredients that make up our products? This is why we work closely with farmers in the UK who supply milk for products including KitKat and Nescafé Frothy Coffees, to support them to protect and enhance their land to have a long term impact. Kate Edley and Katrina Harrison, from our Nestlé Professional business, recently joined Bidfood to talk about regenerative agriculture and how we’re working with not only UK farmers, but those further afield to improve the carbon footprint in our entire supply chain.

The Hidden Hurdles of Dairy: Scaling Up Sustainably Building a sustainable dairy supply chain has its challenges! While everyone loves fresh milk, the journey from farm to factory can be complex, especially for small producers. Here's why: 1. Finding & Empowering Pastolists: Connecting with remote pastrolist communities and providing training requires significant investment. 2. Logistics & Infrastructure: Efficient milk collection requires specialized equipment, transportation, and central aggregation points – a hefty upfront cost. 3. Temperature Control: Maintaining proper chilling throughout the supply chain demands specialized infrastructure for both on-farm and transportation. These hurdles can make it difficult for new players to enter the market. What are your thoughts? How can we create a more inclusive and scalable dairy industry? #dairy #sustainability #agriculture #supplychain

Urban farmers markets epitomize an environmentally-conscious lifestyle—home-grown vegetables, paper bags, the occasional beetle in your organic raspberries. Surely nothing could be better for the climate than buying food grown literally just around the corner? But conventional agriculture is now immensely efficient, and operates at a scale that makes pea-patch spuds look like very small potatoes. https://lnkd.in/gjjRrQ2D

#upcycling Some interesting videos:) "Waste Streams For Upcycling Solutions Include: Imperfect produce from farms, such as oranges and watermelons Overproduction of produce from farms, such as spinach Harvest byproducts, such as cacao pulp, cacao juice and cascara Side streams from processing facilities, such as wastewater from the blanching of mushrooms prior to canning Pomace (the pulp and residue remaining after produce has been crushed for juice extraction), such as that of blueberries or cranberries " https://lnkd.in/eZ7kfdTs
