Sustainable poultry & Tyson’s journey

Thu, Dec 12, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST

The poultry industry has made significant progress reducing its environmental impacts over the last 40+ years. But, as the global population and its desire to eat more protein grow, the need for continuous improvement intensifies. Food companies have huge opportunities to scale sustainability solutions to a growing industry that is poised for change. As consumers and retailers demand sustainability performance from food companies, brands have an incredible opportunity to work with stakeholders at their production facilities and farms to track, measure, report, and lead on the environmental outcomes for animal agriculture production.

Theresa Eberhardt, EDF, and Jamie Burr, Tyson Foods, discuss what EDF sees as the major opportunities to reduce overall GHG impacts in animal agriculture production, the newly published Poultry Sustainability Report, and Tyson Foods’ sustainability journey.
