Morrisons has announced plans to make 100% of its British farming supply base zero carbon by 2030.
The UK supermarket said it would work with 3,000 farmers and growers over the next nine years to put in place measures to reduce and offset emissions.
Starting with meat and produce farmers, Morrisons will look into emissions created through the whole lifecycle of farm produce, “from germination to leaving the farmgate for a Morrisons store”, to establish a model that can be shared with all its farmers.
It aims to produce eggs in a “net zero carbon way” by 2022, followed by lamb, fruit, vegetables, pork and beef.
