Overview
Présentation
Whilst France has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels and to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, GHG emissions generated by logistics activities (beyond just freight transport and food products alone) will, according to ADEME, account for 16% of French GHG emissions in 2022, comprising four main components: freight transport within the country (73% of logistics-related GHG emissions); household journeys to shop by car (14.3%); storage via logistics facilities (5.6%); the manufacture of industrial and commercial packaging (7.2%). The agri-food sector accounts for 28% of freight transport flows in France in tonne-kilometres. How can we meet the challenge of decarbonising the food supply chain?
