Dear John,
Ceres released a new report this week outlining the significant opportunities for food companies to drive innovation, build resilience, and create a more sustainable and profitable industry by addressing methane pollution.
As extreme weather events impact farm productivity and animal health and disrupt supply chains, Ceres’ report, Unlocking Opportunity: Addressing Livestock Methane to Build Resilient Food Systems, highlights the financial case for corporate action across the food value chain. It includes a first-of-its-kind analysis of food companies’ exposure to methane risks based on their position within the sector, actionable recommendations for
key sub-industries, and more than a dozen examples of how companies across the value chain reap benefits from such action.
Methane is a dangerous pollutant—with 80 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide—and relatively short-lived in the atmosphere. Lowering these emissions can help companies, especially those that source dairy, beef, and pork, tackle the business challenges caused by worsening and costly heatwaves, floods, drought, storms, and disease outbreaks. | | |
| |  On March 20, Ceres will be hosting a webinar discussing the new report’s findings, including exploring the practical and innovative ways companies can address livestock methane in the supply chain. | | | | | | |  Carolyn Ching
