With about a third of total greenhouse gas emissions coming from the production, distribution and consumption of food, COP28 acknowledged, for the first time, the important role food and agriculture play in tackling the climate crisis. As a food company, Nestlé has been pushing for this action and believes the momentum it creates will enable the global transition to agriculture that restores and enhances nature.
Private sector participants, farmers, civil society, financiers and local government representatives agreed at the summit to coordinate and scale up their efforts to make food production and agriculture more sustainable and resilient.
Signatories of the COP28 Action Agenda on Regenerative Landscapes, of which Nestlé is a founding member, will collaborate and support farmers who adopt regenerative practices. They will help facilitate government policies, support research and development and advance education in this space.
