FuelPositive provides sustainable, &ldquo;cradle to cradle&rdquo;, clean energy and fertilizer solutions, including a containerized Green Ammonia production system that will revolutionize farming by placing carbon-free nitrogen fertilizer production in farmers&rsquo; hands, on their farms.
&nbsp;
The production of traditional ammonia, 80% of which is used as fertilizer, represents over 500 million tonnes of carbon emissions every year, making this US$70 billion per year industry one of the heaviest polluters on earth.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
This creates a challenging tension between producing much-needed nitrogen fertilizer to meet our needs for global food security and reducing carbon emissions to combat climate change. And that doesn&rsquo;t even cover the complex and unreliable supply chain that makes supply unpredictable and prices unaffordable.
&nbsp;
Our decentralized model places our systems on the farm, providing a stable price and supply. Our technology manufactures Green Ammonia from air, water and sustainable electricity. By using only sustainable electricity, carbon emissions associated with the production of traditional, grey ammonia are eliminated. Farmers will use our systems to produce fertilizer, and ultimately as clean fuel to run their farm machinery, including tractors, generators and grain drying systems. No carbon emissions. No unreliable supply chain. No unaffordable prices.
&nbsp;
Once carbon-free, green ammonia is produced on farms using FuelPositive systems, there is still the problem of nitrous oxide (NOx) and other nitrogen-related emissions. We are working with our agriculture advisors to explore how to use Green Ammonia as fertilizer in the least polluting way and to identify the optimal performance of our systems in Controlled Environment Agriculture.

LettUs Grow is an indoor farming technology provider based in Bristol, UK. We believe that careful innovation in farming can make the world a better place. LettUs Grow&rsquo;s ultrasonic aeroponic irrigation systems allow farmers to grow up to twice as fast as hydroponics, while using no soil or pesticides, as well as using less water and fertiliser than in outdoor farming.&nbsp;
Our products allow growers to use aeroponics at different scales. The DROP &amp; GROW&trade; container farm allows anyone to grow local, sustainable food 365 days of the year and in any climate. Aeroponic Rolling Benches are set to bring the benefits of aeroponics to hectare-scale greenhouses and vertical farms.&nbsp;
Using the Ostara&reg; farm management software, growers can access optimized crop recipes that pre-define the best growing conditions for crops. Crops that can be grown in an aeroponic system range from microgreens and herbs, to strawberries, tomatoes and the propagation of tree whips.&nbsp;
LettUs Grow conducts world leading research into controlled environment agriculture from their research centre in Bristol, working with partners such as John Innes Centre, Harper Adams University &amp; Agritecture. The team achieved B Corp status in 2022 and are dedicated to improving food systems by working towards a future where affordable, healthy food can be grown with minimal impact on the planet.

The Future of Protein Production

As a leading hospitality specialist in the market, we take our responsibility. At our catering locations, guests enjoy food and drinks everyday, but in a responsible way. Responsible in terms of healthy dishes. And responsible because we are committed to making good food accessible for future generations. It's time to make new plans for the future and to change the food system. But how does this system looks like nowadays, what is the impact of food on our planet and how can we change this? Together with Ecochain Technologies we will explain you: The future of food. &nbsp;

Combining factory engineering and indoor plant biology

Nestl&eacute; has a global, ambitious commitment to reach net zero GHG emissions in the full value chain by 2050, and 50% reduction by 2030. As part of the UN&rsquo;s Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi), a detailed climate road map is guiding the work, aiming to drive a sustainable food system transformation.
Regenerative agriculture is one of the main pillars and focus areas for Nestl&eacute;, as current scientific evidence shows that the there is a lot of carbon binding potential in the soils. At the same time other important environmental parameters, such as biodiversity, can be improved with these methods.
Nestl&eacute; will supply 50 % of the key ingredients through regenerative agriculture by 2030. This requires collaboration with local stakeholders, starting from farmers, working together with NGOs, agronomists and policy makers. One Nordic example is a Carbon Action project, where Finnish vegetable farmers are trained together with a local NGO, Baltic Sea Action Group (BSAG) to shift their production into regenerative agriculture, step by step, and eventually to provide ingredients to local Nestl&eacute; factories. But more stakeholders are needed in order to drive the change in large scale. Policies and incentives should guide and support the transition, and companies should increase the demand and bring visibility on the environmental impacts of products to consumers.

Panel Discussion: Transforming the food supply chain

Networking Break

The speed at which the farming and food supply chain is changing continues to increase while becoming more competitive and challenging. In today's data driven world, we have the data and there are thousands of technologies available (our companies track over 4000) but our industry is having big challenges understanding how to prioritize, which ones work together, and how to really gain constant value. We will walk-through the step by step process which must be taken to align business and operations goals with tools, talent, and cultural shifts happing around the globe to transform our business for the next 30 years. &nbsp;

The project, funded under Horizon 2020- PRIMA, is a best practice in circular economy application, while linking agriculture to aquaculture. The reuse of specific agricultural wastes will provide inland aquaculture with plant-based, innovative and sustainable fish feeds. Local communities in Algeria, Italy and Spain will benefit of the circular model for their resilience to climate change.

The Future of Food Production Summit discusses a wide range of topics. In the past, we would, and still continue to, look at each of these topics as a stand-alone item. In a circular economy that functions (or is being built) as a circular system, all these topics are part of the system. Who can design these systems? What will encourage people to collaborate? How resource efficient are each of the topics that contribute to the overall efficiency of the system? &nbsp;
