A GLOBAL NETWORK FOR PARTNERSHIP AND INNOVATION
The Sustainable Food Lab is a consortium of business, non profit and public organizations working together to accelerate the shift toward sustainability.
The Sustainable Food Lab facilitates market-based solutions to the key issues—including climate, soil, poverty, and water—that are necessary for a healthy and sustainable food system to feed a growing world. The Sustainable Food Lab uses collaborative learning to incubate innovation at every stage along the supply chain from producing to distributing and selling food.
Piloting Innovation
Sustainable Food Lab members believe that the industry is facing critical issues that cannot be tackled by one organization. SFL works with members to identify areas of collective interest and create innovation projects in supply chains. SFL documents what works and what doesn’t. Current innovation efforts include:
Addressing climate change through “low-carbon agriculture”;
Overcoming poverty through new approaches connecting small-scale producers to formal markets;
Linking distribution infrastructure to regional food supply; and
Piloting sustainability metrics.
