Net Zero Food System
We will enable the transition to a net zero food system, measuring and quantifying the change through reduced CO2 equivalent emissions.
Why a Missions-led approach?
EIT Food is a community that has come together to respond to the biggest issues in the food system affecting our lives. A Mission-led approach focuses our efforts on improving outcomes for people and planet.
We prioritise our investments, funding, advocacy, and interventions to make a real, tangible difference. Missions help us form those priorities to put a better shape and direction to solving issues such as the contribution of diet to obesity and Non-Communicable Disease, environmental harms associated with the food system and the threats to us all around food integrity and complex supply chains.
Our community are pivotal to shaping the goals and direction of our Missions – why not join us and help shape the future of the food system?
