Presentation description:

How to act on climate change impact on the European pet food supply chain  — Ardai outlines the forecasted climate impact on the pet food supply chain in Europe, showing crop and meat production likely to decline in the next 10 years, along with the degradation of soil. Regenerative agriculture corresponds to a set of practices that aims to restore soil health by protecting biodiversity, improving crop and farm resilience, increasing water retain capacity and, last but not least, reducing carbon emission and removing carbon from the atmosphere. It is essential to have sector or industry collaboration focusing on an agricultural transformation with the farmer at the heart of it.
