The global food system must be transformed urgently to tackle the environmental and economic risks of unsustainable farming methods. Especially given macroeconomic pressures such as population growth and urbanisation, changing these practices is essential to redefine what food is produced, and how.
In our paper, we show the link between the degradation of natural resources and ecosystem depletion resulting from global food production and supply chain disruptions and price instability across essential and non-essential commodities.
Real-world case studies shed light on these challenges and showcase the role of companies in driving this transformation. By producing and adopting holistic, scalable solutions, businesses can help reduce risks and foster resilience. Companies can offer investment opportunities with the potential to deliver environmental benefits and financial returns.
Key areas of interest include next-generation agricultural machinery, food ingredients and enzymes, and sustainable forestry. We examine both sectors that are currently profitable as well as areas that are developing.
