Founded in July 2013, Future Food Solutions (FFSL) began developing innovative programmes for Coca-Cola, Intersnack (KP), and Heineken to build resilience in their supply chains. This began with the Sustainable Future programme to enhance soil structure, fertility and productivity to create a supply chains that was resilient but also more sustainable.

In 2018, after partnering with Yorkshire Water, following their recognition of the connection between soil health and improved water quality, we developed a landscape approach in key catchment areas. This led to the Sustainable Landscapes project, now spanning over 70,000 hectares (17% of Yorkshire’s arable land).

By 2019, our data showed large amounts of CO2 was being sequestered through our activities through photosynthesis as we sought to increase soil organic carbon. Partnering with BCarbon at Rice University, we measured, verified, and certified carbon sequestration, creating the SF CarbonBank and issuing the first certified carbon credits from arable soils, unlocking new revenue streams for farmers and demonstrating the importance of our agricultural soils in creating a resilient and sustainable world.

Today, Future Food Solutions collaborates with brands to reduce Scope 3 emissions and meet SBTi commitments, while expanding the Sustainable Landscapes Programme to other regions.
