Tyson Foods announced the creation of the Coalition for Global Protein, a multi-stakeholder initiative to further advance the sustainability of protein.
The goal of the coalition is to unite stakeholders across the agriculture and food sectors to create and implement new solutions to sustainably feed the world’s growing population.
“These foods, many from animal sources, are vital for the healthy growth of young children, especially those who already have poor quality diets,” said Lawrence Haddad, executive director of Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition.
“So, it is vital that their production can be undertaken in a way that respects planetary environmental boundaries.”
Potential areas of focus could include reducing food loss and waste, increasing access to protein, and safeguarding ecosystems.
The coalition will publicly report on commitments and progress later in 2020.
