Our current industrial food production systems are degenerative and wasteful – and in dire need of an overhaul. 

Lack of support for regenerative food systems

High cost of environmentally-friendly alternatives

Fighting the climate and resource crisis will be easier with international cooperation. Without it, the need for companies, cities, and countries to prepare themselves for the future becomes even more existential.

Every two years, WWF publishes the Living Planet Report, a science-based analysis on the health of our planet and the impact of human activity. Global Footprint Network contributes the Ecological Footprint assessment as a measure of human demand.

Worldwide consumption and production — a driving force of the global economy — rest on the use of the natural environment and resources in a way that continues to have destructive impacts on the planet.

Goal 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

Changing Paradigms “explores the power of regenerative agriculture in improving the natural environment, human health, and reliable profit in sheep farming.”

Our current industrial food production systems are degenerative and wasteful – and in dire need of an overhaul. At current rates of consumption, we need 1.6 planet Earths to meet our lifestyle demands. And that number could reach three planets by 2050.

This problem is compounded by the current 

 of regenerative and sustainable food systems, which prevents both producers and consumers from adopting better practices.
