🧑🌾 Central General Mills new Climate Transition Plan is the adoption of regenerative agriculture, which will cover approximately 600,000 acres in the US by 2030. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to slash value chain emissions by 30% by 2030 through multiple “climate levers,” including electrification of transport and transitioning to renewable energy sources. By integrating regenerative practices widely across its supply chain, General Mills not only aims to enhance soil health but also to fortify the resilience of food production against climate change. This commitment to sustainability underscores the vital connection between environmental health and the future of food production.

🌍 Are we overlooking the soil beneath our feet in the climate battle?" 🤔 #RegenerativeAgriculture is rising as a game-changer in our fight against climate change. This innovative farming approach, more than just a carbon sink, is a revolution in soil stewardship! 🚜💪 It's not just about trapping carbon; it's a holistic transformation of our agricultural landscape. By embracing reduced tilling, diverse plantings, and minimal chemical use, we're enriching our soils and enhancing farm productivity and resilience. 🌾🌱 This movement is gaining momentum, but it still needs its critics. As global policies tighten around emissions reporting, some view this method as a potential facade for environmental accountability. 🌿📊 The reality? It's a piece of a much larger puzzle in our journey towards a sustainable future. As we inch closer to a greener world, let's remember: the true power of regenerative agriculture isn't just in its carbon capture; it's in its potential to redefine our relationship with the land we depend on. 🌏🌟 #EcoInnovation #FutureFarming #SustainableDevelopment 🍃

Underrated Weapon in Our Decarbonization Arsenal: Regenerative Agriculture The fight against climate change demands innovative solutions, and one often overlooked hero is right beneath our feet: soil. Regenerative agriculture, with its focus on carbon farming and soil health, offers a powerful and underutilized tool to accelerate decarbonization. Here's why regenerative agriculture deserves a bigger spotlight: 📣 Soil as a Carbon Sink: Healthy soil acts as a massive carbon sink, capturing atmospheric CO2 and storing it as organic matter. Practices like cover cropping, reduced tillage, and compost application promote soil carbonization, improving soil health and sequestering carbon. 📣 The Power of 0.4%: The "4 per 1000" initiative, launched at COP21 in Paris, highlights the potential impact. Increasing global soil carbon by just 0.4% annually could offset yearly fossil fuel emissions growth! Metagood: A Game Changer for the Global South: While regenerative practices are crucial, data is key to optimizing them. Metagood plays a vital role by providing soil health data, particularly in the Global South, where such information is scarce. This empowers farmers to make informed decisions for improved soil health and carbon sequestration. ➡ Beyond the Farm: The impact of healthy soil extends far beyond agriculture. Soil data can inform: ➡ Municipal policy-making: for sustainable land management practices. ➡ Insurance companies: to develop risk assessments based on soil health. ➡ Financial institutions: to evaluate the sustainability of agricultural investments. ➡ Carbon credit markets: by verifying carbon sequestration through data-driven monitoring. Regenerative agriculture, with the support of innovative tools like Metagood, holds immense potential. By nurturing our soils, we can not only enhance food security and nutrition but also combat climate change. Let's unlock the power of what's beneath our feet and make regenerative agriculture a cornerstone of a sustainable future. #regenerativeagriculture #soilhealth #climatechange #sustainability #metagood #foodsecurity

Step into the Future of Agriculture: In the vanguard of innovation, we introduce our cutting-edge Nopal agriculture systems—a revolutionary paradigm that promises to redefine our perception of agriculture, sustainability, and resource management. Our groundbreaking technology transcends conventional farming; it is a comprehensive solution crafted to empower governments and nations to fulfill multiple objectives through a unified and integrated program. Unveiling a Spectrum of Opportunities: From Cosmetics to Fuel, Food to Carbon Offsets. Our Nopal agriculture systems herald a transformative era in agriculture, tapping into the remarkable potential of the Nopal cactus. What was once a humble plant has become an invaluable resource with diverse applications. The by-products stemming from our Nopal cultivation are as varied as they are promising: Cosmetics and Medicine: Harnessing the natural healing properties of Nopal, we produce cosmetics and medicines that cater to global health and well-being. Nopal's rich blend of vitamins, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds lays the foundation for a new era of skincare and healthcare. Fuel and Fertilizers: Revolutionizing sustainable energy and agriculture, our systems convert Nopal into eco-friendly biofuels and premium fertilizers. This dual-purpose approach not only contributes to cleaner energy sources but also enhances soil quality, leading to increased crop yields. Food and Fodder: With a focus on addressing food security, our Nopal cultivation systems yield nutrient-rich fruits and foliage, directly consumable by humans or usable as animal fodder. This diversification of food sources holds the potential to alleviate hunger and promote balanced nutrition in regions facing critical needs. Carbon Offsets and Environmental Stewardship: Amid escalating environmental concerns, our collaborative innovations position us at the forefront of capturing, quantifying, and monetizing carbon offsets. By cultivating Nopal cacti, we sequester carbon dioxide while providing a platform for governments and organizations to contribute to global carbon reduction targets, simultaneously supporting local economies. A Global Revolution in Sustainability: The impact of our technology extends well beyond the confines of agricultural fields. Operating across borders, our commitment to sustainability transcends national boundaries, propelling our Nopal agriculture systems into a global force for positive change. Collaborating with partners, we've crafted a holistic solution that embraces environmental, economic, and social considerations. By tapping into the regenerative capabilities of Nopal cacti, we chart a course towards a more sustainable future, where resource optimization and ecological responsibility coexist harmoniously. So, why not join the Movement? We extend an invitation for you to be an integral part of this transformative journey. Visit www.ihtsa.co.za for more information

Food, agriculture, and water will be a major theme at COP28. What could help create a more sustainable future for #agriculture that feeds a growing planet while maintaining the livelihoods of farmers 🚜? Conversations about sustainable transitions have increasingly focused on agriculture’s effects on nature and society beyond climate change. For example, agricultural land covers half of all habitable land and is responsible for 70% of freshwater withdrawals. Our latest Sustainability in Agriculture report ( https://shorturl.at/hiTZ6 ) reveals how #decarbonisation measures have evolved in agriculture, including barriers to their adoption and the actions industry players can take to support their uptake #McKinseySustainability #COP28UAE

Is shrinking the dairy sector the only way to achieve emissions reductions consistent with IPCC recommended targets? Not necessarily. And what’s more, over the last 30 years, a shrinking dairy industry resulted in increased emissions overall. Instead, we should be looking to Ireland for ideas and learnings on how to work towards a more sustainable and environmentally responsible dairy sector. #climate #foodsystems #agriculture #sustainability
