March Community Huddle: How Net Zero Can Drive Innovation in the Food System

The only future is a Net Zero Future. And we need more Zero, less Net.

In this exclusive member-only Huddle Will Clare, Net Zero Coach and Louis Bedwell, Mission Adventures delved into how Net Zero can drive innovation in the food system.

Net Zero Targets:

Will Clare visualised the concept of Net Zero, outlining the critical path to achieve a 90% reduction in carbon emissions and for the complete removal of the remaining 10%, utilising land and soils as carbon sinks.

The journey of achieving Net Zero, in the context of the food sector, spanning from farm to fork was outlined calling on companies setting and implementing rapid emission reduction plans.

Driving Innovation:

Louis provided an insightful overview of the innovation concept (conceive – develop – deliver – scale) and explained that thinking outside the box begins by embracing risk, collaboration, investment, and continuous learning.

The discussion provided examples of agile and disruptive startups which will perform better from an innovation standpoint than big food companies that are distracted, slower, and risk averse. As issues increase, investors will have to pay more attention, and talent/innovation will come flooding in.

The Huddle provoked the question of what is your company doing now to make the Net Zero transition? 

The catastrophic consequences of failing to achieve Net Zero targets should be seen as opportunities, rather than ignoring the impending challenges. To align with the Net Zero by 2050 goal, and meet increasing stakeholder expectations, companies must embrace innovation and swiftly implement comprehensive emissions reduction plans.
