“Having the ‘big picture’ of our total footprint — from farm to fork — validates the focus of our sustainability efforts, particularly advancing sustainable agriculture,” said Roger Zellner, sustainability director for research, development and quality.
“Experts say climate change, land and water use may be among the biggest challenges in feeding a world of 9bn people in 2050. As we continue our sustainability journey, we now have more insight into where we can make the greatest difference.”
By the end of 2015 Kraft Foods says it plans to increase sustainable sourcing of agricultural commodities by 25%, reduce energy use, water consumption, waste and emissions in manufacturing plants by 15%, eliminate 50,000 metric tons (100 million lbs.) of packaging material and 80 million km (50 million miles) from its transportation network.
