TAKE ACTION

A failing food system is damaging to people, to the planet, and to business. The hidden environmental, health and poverty cost of current food sector practices is estimated at $12 trillion a year and expected to rise to $16 trillion by 2050. Shifting to sustainable business models in the food and agriculture sectors could generate an additional $2.3 trillion in revenue and 80 million jobs globally by 2030.

Business has been part of the problem for far too long.

Join us to become part of the solution.
