Listen into the important Roundtable that was held in Brussels at the end of April to find out about the impact of airfreighted fresh produce from developing countries and to discuss whether airfreighted fresh produce should be banned.
The event brought together representatives of retail, food businesses, NGOs and government to explore:
• The impact of airfreighted fresh horticultural products from developing countries.
• Climate Justice considerations for corporate Net Zero strategies
• To ban or not to ban: should we ban airfreighted fresh produce to achieve Net Zero?
Speakers included:
• Martijn Boelen, Head of Sector Trade at the Directorate-General for International Partnerships at the European Commission.
• Dr Ebenezer Laryea, Associate Professor in International Sustainable Development Law at the University of Northampton.
• James MacGregor, Development Economist and author of ‘Fair Miles: recharting the food miles map’ published by IIED and Oxfam.
• Jeremy Knops, General Delegate at COLEAD.
