BSI Whitepapers provide expert insights, guidance, and analysis on various topics related to standards, compliance, and best practices. They are designed to inform and educate organizations, industries, and policymakers about emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities in areas where standards play a critical role.

This episode is an audio-abridged version of the BSI White Paper: Understanding sustainable food systems.

Published in August 2024, the Whitepaper reveals that the global food sector is responsible for a third of all greenhouse gas emissions, 60% of global biodiversity loss, and two-thirds of deforestation, while a third of all food produced is wasted.

This underscores the urgent need for change. By aligning with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and adopting sustainability standards, organizations can lead the way. Implementing changes across farming, manufacturing, and retail practices will drive positive impact, enhance public health, and promote low-carbon, sustainable diets.
