Taking an integrated view on sustainability


The sustainability challenges we face on our planet are all interconnected, and together, contribute to climate change. Therefore, we need to understand the complexity of the challenges and not try to solve one problem while creating another.

We’ve committed to making food safe and available, everywhere and we promise to protect what’s good – protecting our food, people and planet. By adopting an integrated approach to sustainability, we can use our expertise, technology, and partnerships to move the world’s food systems1 forward.

Food access & availability

As food is transported to people’s homes, it can be deterred by a lack of infrastructure. In fact, the inability to receive food safely can contribute to hunger in some developing countries.
