Sustainability in Fresh Produce & Floral Industries: Regenerative Agriculture, Sustainable Packaging, Climate Change, Food Loss & Waste, Social Responsibility, and Tools

Explore All Our Sustainability Resources

Regenerative Agriculture

Regenerative agriculture is a holistic farming approach that restores and enhances the resilience of agroecosystems while supporting the long-term health of agricultural businesses and communities. It integrates soil health, biodiversity, water resources, human health, and climate management.

Sustainable Packaging

Packaging can have a big impact on the environment. Sustainable packaging is made from recycled materials, designed to be easily recyclable or made from materials that are biodegradable or compostable. These types of packaging can help to reduce the environmental impact of packaging, such as its contribution to climate change and pollution.

Climate Change

Climate change is a major threat to the environment and to human society. Sustainable practices can help to mitigate the effects of climate change and build a more resilient future.

Food Loss and Waste

Food loss and waste is a major environmental problem. It contributes to climate change, water pollution, and land degradation. By reducing food loss and waste, we can help to protect the environment and ensure that everyone has access to safe and nutritious food.

Social Responsibility

There are many ways that businesses can be socially responsible and sustainable. For example, businesses can:

Pay their employees a living wage.
Provide benefits to their employees, such as health insurance and retirement plans.
Give back to their communities through donations or volunteer work.
Use sustainable practices in their operations, such as recycling and using energy-efficient equipment.

By being socially responsible and sustainable, businesses can create a more just and equitable world for all.

Sustainability Tools

Sustainability is inherent in much of what we do, and as the original stewards of the land – we are uniquely positioned to provide leadership across many industries over the globe. One of the most direct ways to immediately make this impact is to recognize the transformative efforts happening in the industry and communicate it to various audiences. A powerful sustainability story can inspire others looking to implement practices of their own; convince potential or existing organizations to collaborate or partner; and educate various audiences (including consumers) on the importance and impact of sustainable practices.

These tools have been created in partnership with the industry exclusively for members to aid in the creation of a compelling and comprehensive sustainability story.
