Reducing the environmental impact of food - Foodsteps

With the food industry being one of the key drivers of the environmental crisis, 81% of British consumers are in favour of carbon labelling on products to help them make more sustainable choices. Despite this, manufacturers are struggling to make it happen.

Foodsteps is an all-in-one digital platform that supports businesses operating within the food industry to not only communicate the carbon footprint of their products more clearly with consumers, but also to better understand and reduce their environmental impact. Developed by former food sustainability student Anya Doherty, Foodsteps provides both brands and food service organisations with the tools they need to empower their customers to make responsible, environmentally-friendly decisions.

With support from the Sustainable Innovation Fund, Anya and the team were able to access the essential resources needed to transform their manual processes into a scalable digital platform that enables users to automatically track their environmental impact in real time from farm to fork, make positive changes, and instantly generate labels that transparently communicate the carbon footprint of food items.
