Gilberto Tomazoni, JBS: Food security needs to be on the agenda of the climate debate
"We cannot discuss climate and energy transition without discussing food security, poverty and social development. For me, these discussions are interconnected", said JBS Global CEO Gilberto Tomazoni during the Planeta Campo Talks Special COP30, an event held in the auditorium of the Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing (ESPM), in São Paulo (SP).
During the panel "Ensuring food security while preserving the environment", Tomazoni stressed the need to integrate discussions on climate and energy transition with the issue of food security. The JBS Global CEO highlighted the importance of Brazil in leading this global debate, emphasizing the need to increase food production in a sustainable way to meet growing global demand. "Brazil is at the center of this issue and needs to lead this discussion. The solution is to produce more food and in a more sustainable way. There is no other choice", he said.
Tomazoni also addressed the issue of food waste, which represents a challenge for global food security, and the importance of supporting small producers in adopting more sustainable practices. "There is no point in demanding that small producers adopt new practices if they are not able to do so. If we do not resolve these issues, negotiations will continue in closed rooms, with no real impact on people's lives", he warned.
The Planeta Campo Talks Special COP30 event brought together leaders from various sectors to discuss crucial issues for the success of the United Nations Climate Conference, which will be held for the first time in Brazil in November, in the city of Belém (PA).
