The challenge
The UN predicts that there will be around 9.7 billion people on the planet by 2050. Income levels will be many multiples of what they are now, putting more pressure on food production, land and water sources. In order to feed this larger, urban and wealthier population, food production (net of food used for biofuels) must increase by 70 percent.
Food for Development
Tetra Laval Food for Development drives the development of the dairy and food value chain through cooperation with customers, governments, development cooperation agencies, funding organisations and NGO’s all over the world.
School feeding and nutrition
For almost 60 years, we have supported school feeding and nutrition programmes. In 2021, 61 million children in 41 countries received milk or other nutritious beverages in Tetra Pak packages intermittently during the school year. The Covid-19 pandemic and the associated shutdowns had a significant impact on school feeding programmes causing food delivery disruptions everywhere.
Dairy development
With the global demand for milk set to overtake supply within a decade, the dairy industry is facing immense pressure. Through our Dairy Hub model, we help build sustainable value chains by training smallholder farmers and creating a link for our customers to source higher-quality milk.
Food affordability
Our DEEPER IN THE PYRAMID strategy is helping to bring safe, healthy and nutritious products to millions of low-income households.
