Climate change, humanity's greatest challenge

Earlier this year the UN shared the results of a survey of 1.2 million people in 50 countries: 2 out of 3 consider climate change a global emergency and demand action.

To fight against climate change, humanity must reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and prevent global warming from exceeding 1.5 ° C. In response, more than 100 countries have expressed their commitment to achieving carbon neutrality (net zero emissions) by 2050, including Japan, the European Union, United Kingdom, Republic of Korea, Costa Rica and Ecuador.

2050 may seem distant, but the actions to achieve that goal must already be underway.

Vicente Wong, CEO of Reybanpac, highlights the importance of all of us joining forces in the face of this challenge. “Mitigating climate change is everyone's job. Both for the public and private sectors. This is a global problem and here there is no room for choice; the right thing to do is to act on it. We must reduce carbon emissions. "

Agriculture is one of the major affected by climate change. The cultivation of fruits and vegetables is highly dependent on climatic conditions; variations and unpredictable behaviors are a risk to crops. Therefore, it is a threat to food security. At the same time, agribusiness is also responsible for developing its activity with the least possible environmental impact.

“Reybanpac's mission is to nourish families around the world. That is why our operation has always been based on responsible environmental and social practices. As part of that commitment is our effort to achieve and maintain carbon neutral production. A goal that we really hope all agricultural companies will join,” concludes Wong.
