About EIT Food and our mission-based approach

EIT Food is a community which has come together to respond to the biggest issues in the food system affecting our lives. A Mission-based approach which puts needs first is our way of focusing our efforts on improving outcomes for people and planet as the starting point for our work.

We will enable the transition to A Net Zero Food System Mission by measuring and quantifying the change through reduced CO2 equivalent emissions. This is based on a three-point plan:

• Enabling farmers and producers to lead the transition to regenerative agriculture.
• Creating new markets and opportunities to reduce our food waste and food loss in production.
• Empowering consumers, making their food purchasing choices count and play a crucial role in the circular food economy.

Towards the end of 2022, we commissioned a co-design team of Partners, experts and food system stakeholders to carry out an open programme of research, consultation and systems thinking workshops on A Net Zero Food System.  The objective was to identify where and how we can have the most significant and distinctive impact.  The output of this work is the A Net Zero Food System Insight Report.
