Global food and confectionery giant Mars has announced a partnership with New Zealand’s leading dairy company, Fonterra, to advance the "Farmer Forward" initiative. This program aims to enhance sustainability in dairy production and reduce carbon emissions across the supply chain. By 2030, Mars plans to cut more than 150,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2015 levels, covering an area of 26,000 hectares of farmland. This initiative will provide more environmentally friendly dairy ingredients for Mars' brands, including M&M’s and Snickers.

企業與產業背景

Company & Industry Context
中文

根據 Mars 發布的新聞稿,乳製品供應鏈為該公司第四大碳排放來源,目前全球約有20萬頭乳牛為其產品提供奶源。為減少乳製品供應鏈對環境的影響,Mars 在2024年已承諾投入4,700萬美元,用於降低乳製品相關的碳足跡。而「Farmer Forward」計畫則是該公司去年啟動的「Moo’ving Dairy Forward」減碳倡議的延續,將透過數據驅動的管理模式,強化農場的環境永續性,確保供應鏈符合全球氣候承諾。

ENGLISH

According to Mars’ official press release, the dairy supply chain is the company's fourth-largest source of carbon emissions, with approximately 200,000 dairy cows supplying milk for its products worldwide. To mitigate the environmental impact of its dairy supply chain, Mars has pledged a $47 million investment in 2024 to reduce the carbon footprint of dairy production. The "Farmer Forward" initiative is an extension of Mars’ "Moo’ving Dairy Forward" carbon reduction program, launched last year. This initiative will leverage data-driven management practices to enhance the sustainability of dairy farms, ensuring the supply chain aligns with global climate commitments.

Mars 如何降低乳製品供應鏈的碳足跡?

Mars 透過與 Fonterra 的合作,將採取一系列減碳措施,包括:

智慧農業技術應用—導入數據監測技術,即時分析乳牛的健康狀況與生產效能,減少資源浪費,提高生產效率。

減少甲烷排放—透過調整乳牛的飼料配方,降低乳牛腸道發酵產生的甲烷排放,並推動甲烷捕捉技術的應用。

提升再生農業技術—鼓勵農民實施輪耕、土壤碳封存與減少農藥使用等可持續農業技術,以減少農場生態影響。

能源與水資源管理—鼓勵農場使用太陽能與風能等再生能源,並導入高效節水技術,降低水資源消耗。

Mars 強調,這些措施不僅有助於減少乳品供應鏈的碳排放,也能提升農場的經濟效益,確保農民在永續轉型中仍能維持競爭力。

Nestlé 亦與 Fonterra 攜手推動低碳乳品農場

除了 Mars 之外,另一全球食品業巨頭Nestlé 也與 Fonterra 合作,推動低碳乳品供應鏈轉型。根據Fonterra 於2月18日發布的新聞稿,乳製品目前為 Nestlé 最大溫室氣體排放來源,因此該公司正積極投資於低碳農業,以協助農民減少碳足跡。

Nestlé 與 Fonterra 的合作計畫將分為兩大類別:

農場減碳技術升級:提供農民更永續、高效的解決方案,如精準農業技術與減排設備。根據上一季的數據,約87% 的農場符合資格,能夠獲得技術升級補助。

減碳獎勵支付:為碳排放最低的農場提供每公斤乳固體 10 至 25 美分的獎勵。根據數據顯示,預計約300 至 350 個農場可獲得此獎勵,以鼓勵更多農民採取低碳生產模式。

Nestlé 目前尚未公布具體的資金投入數字,但其減碳計畫與 Mars 相輔相成,共同推動乳製品供應鏈的永續發展。

Fonterra 積極參與全球乳品減碳計畫

Fonterra 作為全球領先的乳品企業,過去已多次與Mars 和 Nestlé 合作推動乳品供應鏈減碳,包括:

ENGLISH

Through its partnership with Fonterra, Mars will implement a range of carbon reduction measures, including:

Mars emphasizes that these measures will not only cut carbon emissions in the dairy supply chain but also enhance economic benefits for farmers, ensuring they remain competitive during the transition to sustainable practices.

Nestlé Also Collaborates with Fonterra on Low-Carbon Dairy Farming

In addition to Mars, another global food giant, Nestlé, has also partnered with Fonterra to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon dairy supply chain. According to a February 18 press release from Fonterra, dairy production is Nestlé’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, prompting the company to invest heavily in low-carbon agriculture to help farmers reduce their environmental footprint.

2023年,Fonterra 與 Mars 進行試點計畫,為農民提供減碳技術與資源支持。

Mars 亦支持 Fonterra 的「Greener Choice」計畫,幫助農民採購更永續的農業資材。

2022年,Nestlé 與 Fonterra 共同推出「淨零試點乳品農場」(Net Zero Pilot Dairy Farm),進一步降低農場碳排放。

食品產業攜手合作 加速永續農業轉型

隨著全球對氣候變遷與碳排放問題的關注日益增加,食品產業正加速轉向低碳供應鏈,並透過企業間的合作來最大化減排效益。例如:

企業間的合作與資源共享,正加速全球食品業邁向更環保、更永續的未來,確保供應鏈在減碳轉型中發揮關鍵作用。透過持續創新與技術應用,未來乳製品產業將在環境保護與經濟效益之間取得更好的平衡,為全球減碳目標貢獻一份力量。
