Advancing footprinting for a rapid food transition

Efficient Food Systems Transitions


A truly sustainable food system is possible. Research has shown scenarios which feed Europe with healthy and sustainable diets.


But how to make that transition effective, efficient, and equitable?

 Problem 

Food Footprinting Today


Current research provides a good indication of which foods are the most sustainable.


But vital databases often use broad product categories based on commodities as farmed, not foods on the plate. Today's databases are coarse and offer just snapshots - but what is needed are food data platforms which offer live reflection of farming practices.

 Solution 

GreenGrocer

Investing in foundational science and tools for food footprinting.


We are:

  • Filling persistent blindspots in food footprint knowledge
  • Investing in key open-source food data platforms
  • Linking food system actors and sustainability researchers
