Today is Earth Day. A day where we are reminded of the value of environmental sustainability and conservation, and the reason we should come together to take action for a better world and future. Now, although Earth Week is a great way to get people to unite over the growing need to utilize sustainable alternatives. It is also a great time to demonstrate the: - Tools - Insights - Changes - Initiatives That we can do to create a better world today, as well as for future generations. That is why, across the next 4 days I will be sharing content that highlights: ???Day 1: Why We Need To Educate Children About Nutrition ?? Day 2: Our Food Waste & How Indoor Farming Can Support ?? Day 3: The Impact Agriculture Has On Our Water Supply ???Day 4: The Impacts of our Current Agriculture System We must start to recognize that sustainability is no longer just a buzzword. → It's a commitment to changing the way we do things to ensure posterity. From reducing carbon footprints to utilizing eco-friendly initiatives, we need to all become dedicated to making a positive impact on our planet. So join me this week, as I dive into what these initiatives can look like…

Food systems are intricately linked to culture, heritage, and local nuances. Tailoring solutions to specific contexts is crucial for driving positive change for both people and the planet. The Great Food Puzzle offers a fresh approach, categorizing countries into six Food System Types to facilitate the implementation of effective actions. This innovative tool considers socioeconomic and environmental factors like biodiversity, carbon, and freshwater stocks, aiding nations worldwide in co-creating sustainable food solutions.

Some inspiring news out of Imperial College London! ?? ? With a generous grant from the Bezos Earth Fund, Imperial College London will launch a new Centre for sustainable protein research. As an Imperial College Alumni, I'm excited to see this centre position itself at the forefront of transforming our food systems by employing Imperial's expertise in AI, biology, and engineering to tackle the critical challenge of food security. As President Hugh Brady highlighted, "For a sustainable future, we need to ensure that people across the world can be fed adequately and nutritiously with minimal impact on biodiversity, climate, and our wider natural environment." Given my research in sustainable protein solutions, I am particularly excited about this initiative. My recent papers on microbial upcycling of food waste and sustainable waste-to-protein systems underline the importance of innovative approaches to food production. We can turn food waste into valuable resources by harnessing technologies like single-cell protein production, contributing to a circular economy and supporting global food security goals. ??

What was your first step in sustainability? With me, it was all about food. I had two small children and wanted them to know where their food came from. I had once read about self-picking farms and that sounded like a great idea. After two years on a waiting list, a new #CSA farm started nearby, and 10 years ago we became harvest-shareholders at CSA farm De Klepper. This not only changed our eating habits, we also became part of a new community where we learned all kinds of other things sustainable. The beginning of many next steps in #sustainability. So what was your first step or what triggered you to start asking yourself questions about sustainability?

?? What an enlightening afternoon it was at Peach 20/20’s Sustainability Summit! Delving into the complexities of our global food systems. It was especially eye-opening to hear?Henry Dimbleby?(of Ravenous, Leon and National Food Strategy fame), talking about why we’re facing such complex challenges in terms of our global food systems. Despite the daunting scale of the challenges, exacerbated by the cost of living crisis and narrow profit margins, the imperative of addressing climate change is undeniable and urgent. Amidst these challenges, there were inspiring insights shared by industry leaders like Mark Stretton and Victoria Page from Fleet Street, highlighting the growing significance of green credentials for both consumers and employees. Additionally, Amy de Marsac from Mitchells & Butlers PLC underscored the crucial role of sustainability in attracting investors. We learned the exciting news that Pizza Pilgrims officially secured BCORP certification, congratulations to Thom, James and the whole team on achieving this important status! At Zonal, we are privileged to support initiatives like Planet Peach, stimulate discussion and encourage action towards a sustainable future. We're committed to playing our part in advancing these critical conversations and initiatives. #ZonalUK #WeAreHospitality #Peach2020 #PlanetPeach #HospitalityConference #Networking #HospitalityTech #Sustainability Peter Martin, Mark Stretton, Fleet Street, Stephen Nolan, Nutritics, Mark Chapman, Zero Carbon Forum, Victoria Page.

University of Northampton?Sustainability Summit ? ?? It’s an honour to be involved for the second year running and we are thrilled our Eat Curious Mince, Pieces & Negg received such wonderful feedback. ???? Dr Ebenezer Laryea, an associate professor and the Chair of the Planning Committee for the UON Sustainability Summit, shares his thoughts on the summit so far and how our sustainable Eat Curious range has made an impact. Food is responsible for 26% of the world's emissions! ?? Here's how we can drive sites to improve their carbon impact: - Our products are sustainable. The climate impact of the raw ingredients across our Eat Curious range is approximately 0.93kg CO2e/kg of product. - Eat Curious products are produced on our solar-powered site without the use of isolates, emulsifiers and stabilisers. This means no chemical shortcuts! Eat Curious is better for the environment and a cleaner product! #university?#sustainability?#plantbased?#lowcarbonfood?#sustainabilitysummit?#universityfood?
