Sustainable food systems company commits to net-zero emissions across its supply chain by leveraging plans for pilot plant
Aleph Farms, Ltd., announced its new sustainability strategy: to eliminate emissions associated with its meat production by 2025 and reach the same net-zero emissions across its entire supply chain by 2030. Aleph Farms cultivates real steak without harming animals or the environment. Amid the COVID-19 health crisis, Aleph Farms consolidates its approach for food system resilience not only to cope with local and global supply chain disruptions that put food securities at risk, but also to promote natural ecosystem preservation and reduce friction points with wild animals. As it prepares for active pilot-plant (BioFarm) operations next year, the company has set the bar higher for its sustainable development goals.
It is calculated that food production is responsible for over a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. Agriculture uses half of the world’s habitable land and 70% of the freshwater withdrawals. In addition, 94% of mammal biomass (excluding humans) is livestock: outweighing wild mammals by a factor of 15-to-1 while posing a threat to the conservation of biodiversity in a global ecosystem. Aleph Farms’ move sets to limit global warming to 1.5°C as targeted under the Paris climate agreement and translate the European Green Deal resolutions into actionable climate practices that decrease ecological footprints of food production on a global scale.
