    The Agricultural Industries Confederation (AIC) has launched a new strategic resource for agri-supply businesses, in a bid to help them navigate the sustainability landscape and promote greater efficiency.

    Unveiled at the AIC Conference earlier today, Agri-supply: An Action Plan for Sustainable Efficiency is said to be a comprehensive blueprint for delivering a resilient agriculture and food system within the UK.

    It provides insights for companies operating in the major supply chain sectors, including animal feeds, combinable crops, crop protection and agronomy, fertiliser and seed.

    A clear plan

    The report covers fundamental areas including economic resilience, climate impacts, biodiversity and sustainable communities. It also includes a summary of actions for the agri-supply industry.

    According to the AIC, by implementing the plan, businesses can make tangible progress towards reducing their environmental impact, aligning with policy, improving market access and opening up investment opportunities.

    AIC’s chief executive, Robert Sheasby, said: “On behalf of the AIC team, I am delighted to share with the industry our Action Plan for delivering a resilient UK agriculture and food system.

    “This Action Plan underscores AIC’s commitment to leading the industry towards a more sustainable future. It is a call to action, empowering our Members to excel in a marketplace where sustainability is no longer optional, but essential.

    “Together, we will keep up the drive for positive change, ensuring that our industry – which forms the bedrock of our food system – remains resilient, responsible, and ready for whatever the future brings.”

    Professor Tim Benton, of Chatham House, added: “’Sustainability’ and ‘resilience’ are no longer buzz words but are increasingly measures of business’ ability to thrive in the decades ahead.

    “AIC’s ‘Sustainability Action Plan’ is therefore an important guide to address the existential challenge ahead.”
