If more food startups use carbon footprint labels, they will steal market share from Big Food. This will help startups win with consumers and will spur Big Food to take action!

A new California law requires all residents and business to separate food and other organic materials from the rest of their garbage in an effort to prevent compost from ending up in landfills.

[negativefoods @negativefoods]

However, this new regulation could prove to be a challenge for farmers.

“Fines for failing to separate out food and other organic waste from garbage bound for the landfill are set to go into effect in 2024.”

[negativefoods @negativefoods]

To catalyze the regenerative conversion, we need strong market opportunities to incentivize farms to take the leap. And for that, we need consumer demand for climate, water and nutrition benefits.

Special thanks to @ConnieBowen_ and Kevin Silverman for bringing Biota Coffee to the attention of Negative Foods!

[negativefoods @negativefoods]

Coffee is currently the FIFTH most climate-warming crop, but companies like @BiotaCoffee are growing a new, regenerative crop.

@foodtank gives a brief overview of labels and which ones can be trusted. Hopefully, this will make your trips to the grocery store a little bit easier—and a little bit better for the planet.

Food labels are necessary in order for consumers to make educated and environmentally conscious choices. HOWEVER, not all labels are equal.
