Shifting to ‘carbon negative’ foods: BBC has put the spotlight on the future of food, stressing the urgent need to shift towards alternative sources and transform agricultural systems into carbon sinks. Among these alternatives, kelp stands out for its potential to be "carbon negative." As it grows, this macroalgae absorbs CO2, with some of the carbon being stored in the seabed. However, kelp is not yet a staple in mainstream diets. To unlock its full potential, it is essential to raise awareness of its versatility, its ability to enhance dishes, and its role as a cost-effective source of nutrition. [BBC]
Low-carbon farms: Edie reports that Tesco is launching two low-carbon concept farms to pioneer innovations such as low-carbon fertilisers and biodiversity management, aiming to showcase more sustainable pathways to net-zero farming. The supermarket has also unveiled its "Greenprint for UK Farming," emphasizing the urgent need for rapid decarbonisation as a solution to not only mitigate climate impacts but also address rising costs and policy uncertainty faced by farmers. These initiatives are designed to provide long-term security for British farms while ensuring consumers continue to have access to affordable, high-quality food.[Edie]
