Reduce food waste with efficient packaging – Action Library (EN)
This resource highlights how efficient packaging can significantly reduce food waste by extending shelf life, preventing spoilage, and minimizing contamination. Packaging innovations, such as active and modified atmosphere packaging, offer solutions to preserve food quality and prevent waste at various stages of the supply chain. By adopting sustainable and optimized packaging strategies, businesses can not only reduce food loss but also cut emissions and improve their environmental footprint.

Adopt smart storage solutions to reduce food waste – Action Library (EN)
This resource highlights the importance of adopting smart storage solutions to reduce food waste by improving cold chain management and storage technologies. By using sustainable refrigeration methods and optimizing storage conditions, perishable food stays fresher for longer, reducing waste and extending shelf life. It explores solutions like solar-powered cold storage, real-time digital labels, and smart refrigeration, which help prevent food spoilage and reduce environmental impact. These practices can improve food security and create economic opportunities while lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
Reduce CH₄ & N₂O emissions with livestock manure management
Implementing effective manure management practices—such as anaerobic digestion, daily spreading, and pasture-based systems—can significantly reduce methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions from livestock operations. These strategies not only mitigate greenhouse gas emissions but also enhance nutrient recycling and soil health.
Reduce rice cultivation emissions via integrated methods
Implementing optimized nutrient management practices, guided by the 4R framework—right source, right rate, right time, and right placement—enhances nitrogen use efficiency, reduces nitrous oxide emissions, and promotes sustainable agriculture.
Optimize nutrient management for reduced on-farm emissions
Optimizing nutrient management through best practices like the 4R framework (right source, rate, time, and placement) enhances nitrogen use efficiency, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and improves soil health, contributing to sustainable agriculture.
Incentivize Regenerative Agriculture in Dairy Production
Nestlé's "Nature por Ninho" program incentivizes dairy farmers to adopt regenerative agriculture practices by providing technical support, training, and financial bonuses. This initiative has led to a 9.5% reduction in carbon emissions per kilogram of milk and a 4% increase in farm profitability, contributing to Nestlé's goal of sourcing 20% of its fresh milk from regenerative farms by 2025.
Use Regenerative Practices to Reduce Agricultural Emission
Adopting regenerative agricultural practices—such as cover cropping, reduced tillage, and crop diversification—enables farmers to sequester carbon in soils, enhance biodiversity, and improve soil health. These methods can reduce farm-level greenhouse gas emissions by up to 50%, contributing significantly to global net-zero goals. Regenerative agriculture offers a holistic approach to sustainable farming, benefiting both the environment and farmer livelihoods
Use nature-based solutions as part of Net Zero action
Investing in nature-based solutions (NbS) enables companies to decarbonize land-use activities and contribute to global net-zero goals by conserving, restoring, or improving land management practices that enhance carbon storage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Energy
Use geothermal energy to decarbonize buildings and warehouses
Implementing shallow geothermal energy systems in warehouses and offices can significantly reduce CO₂ emissions and energy consumption associated with heating and cooling operations.
