More than 95% of our food depends on soil to be produced. When soils degrade, their ability to store water, capture carbon, and support crops declines, affecting both food security and biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On top of that, droughts are becoming more frequent and intense in many parts of the world, including Chile, which has faced prolonged periods of water scarcity over the past decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Food production generates greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. In turn, climate change increases the risk of drought and speeds up land degradation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That's why measuring carbon footprint not only reveals a product's emissions, but also helps identify opportunities to use resources more efficiently and reduce environmental impacts across the entire production chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At ClearPrint, we help food companies measure and manage the carbon footprint of their products using methodologies based on international standards such as ISO 14067 and ISO 14040\/44.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This information makes it possible to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2705 Identify the stages with the highest emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2705 Spot opportunities to improve production processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2705 Move toward more sustainable food systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2705 Transparently communicate environmental information through eco-labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Combating desertification and drought requires large-scale action, but also informed decisions from businesses and consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understanding the environmental impact of the products we consume is an important step toward building food systems that are more resilient and better prepared for future climate challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
