According to the Carbon Literacy Project, contemporary food systems drive 90% of deforestation, 60% of biodiversity loss and 70% of the world’s freshwater use, while also contributing to over one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions.

However, climate change also poses a substantial threat to the food system, impacting both food security and the resilience of companies in the sector, with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimating that, without significant mitigation efforts, climate change could reduce crop yields by up to 25%, exacerbating global food insecurity.
