Reporting is exceptional in the industry, with vast differences among those who do - mandatory standards are needed to make it meaningful and consistent, says Will from @Food_Foundation

“We don’t pay the true cost of food. We need a just transition & the most vulnerable people must be supported. 800 million already go hungry everyday”

Former Danone CEO Emmanuel Faber. #COP26

[The Food Foundation @Food_Foundation]

#COP26: Treasury proposes for firms and investors to show how they'll reach net zero, but it won't be mandatory. Accurate reporting on food emissions for businesses & investors will need better data (as per national @food_strategy database recommendations)

[Edward Davey @edwardleodavey]

Involved in a @tortoise conversation with the CEO of McDonald's this morning at the @nytclimate hub at @COP26 in Glasgow: welcome any thoughts and observations on how the company is doing on food/climate, and what more it could and should be doing . . .

[The Food Foundation @Food_Foundation]

#COP26: 30% reduction in methane target but no mention of agricultural methane emissions. Reducing livestock stocking levels and manure management is key to controlling methane.

#COP26 session from @WWF on the role of the financial system to drive a transition to a sustainable economy.

Investment in healthy & sustainable food systems has to be part of this shift.

#WheresFoodAtCOP

[The Food Foundation @Food_Foundation]

Food systems contribute 30% of all GHG emissions, yet @WWF finds NO country has a comprehensive food systems approach to their @COP26 commitments (NDCs).

Food & COP must go beyond deforestation and tackle dietary change.
