Today, @FoodDrinkEU launches #TheFoodies, a competition to celebrate the very best – and most sustainable – that European food and drink has to offer.
In the hat to win are the 290,000 small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) that make up 99% of the food and drink industry.
On the target for net-zero emissions Wendel Trio (@CANEurope) says the ultimate goal is to go net negative – take up more carbon than we emit. We must equip our environment to take up this carbon, while also cutting emissions. It's a twin process. #EAdebates #SustainableFoodEU
The EU's target for net-zero emissions by 2050 requires 'transformational solutions' to get there - the message from @ThomasLingard, climate lead at global consumer brands firm @Unilever @UnileverEU #eadebates #sustainablefoodeu
'Companies have a unique opportunity to showcase #climatechange solutions…The next 10 years are exciting – those who act early will be the winners' says MEP @mhojsik #eadebates #sustainablefoodeu. Tune in live here: youtube.com/watch?v=ZgklISii…
