🌾 Over 4 billion people around the world eat rice as a staple part of their diet and it provides income to around 19% of the world’s population, but did you know traditional rice farming practices account for at least 10% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? At Mars Food & Nutrition, we believe healthy food shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet. As the makers of Ben’s Original™, rice is a critical raw material for us. We’re partnering with farmers and suppliers to adopt climate-smart practices and transform our supply chain as part of our commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Our global sustainable sourcing lead Inge Jacobs is helping us advance sustainable rice farming for a greener future.

We are proud to once again be partnering with The Trussell Trust in the UK to take a Stand Against Hunger. Now entering the fifth year of our partnership, we stand together for a future where no one in the UK needs to rely on food banks. Ben’s Original believes everyone should have a seat at the table and have access to nutritious food. However, for many families across the UK, not being able to afford food is a stark reality, reflected in the shocking 94% increase in the number of emergency food parcels distributed by the Trussell Trust food banks compared to five years ago. Funds raised through this year’s campaign will be instrumental in supporting the Trussell Trust's extensive network of over 1,400 food bank centres, all of which play a vital role in providing emergency food as well as wider support and advice to people in communities across the UK who are unable to afford the essentials. #standagaisnthunger #betterfoodtoday
