Food and Agriculture Benchmark
The Food and Agriculture Benchmark measures and ranks the world's most influential companies on key issues underpinning the food systems transformation agenda.
Aim
To achieve the SDGs by 2030, we need transformational change from farm to fork. Food systems transformation requires large-scale and fundamental action led by those who drive environmental, health and social pressures in the system.
The benchmark’s aim is to stimulate the most influential food and agriculture companies to apply sustainable business practices throughout their operations as well as use their influence to encourage value chain partners to do the same.
