| Agrifood Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor 2025 | 4 Relevance | 7 months ago | Nina Desanlis-Perrin | Climate Resilience | |
| Agrifood Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor 2025 The Food and agriculture sector contributes significantly to climate change, representing about a third of global emissions. It is therefore crucial that the major players in the sector take urgent climate action. The 2025 Corporate Responsibility Monitor finds that while disclosed measures to reduce emissions may have short-term effects, they are unlikely to result in deep, structural emission reductions across the sector. In this context, agrifood companies and international standards must act to stre ... | |||||

| In Kenya, 90% of packaged food needs health warning label under new rules | 1 Relevance | 5 months ago | Nina Desanlis-Perrin | Labelling | |
| In June 2025, Kenya’s Ministry of Health released its nutrient profile model which requires processed Food with high levels of sugar, fat and salt to carry a mandatory front-of-package warning label. The initiative is considered a crucial step in combating the emerging obesity crisis hitting all of Africa. New projections show 45% of women and 26% of men in Africa will be overweight or obese by 2030 according to the World Obesity Foundation. WTO figures show that 37% of deaths in Africa were related to overweight in 2019 rising from 24% in 2000. In ... | |||||

| RE: In Kenya, 90% of packaged food needs health warning label under new rules | 1 Relevance | 3 months ago | ZOMAHOUN | Labelling | |
| Commentaire d’un technologue alimentaire En tant que technologue alimentaire, je considère cette politique comme une opportunité décisive pour repenser la formulation et la qualité nutritionnelle des produits transformés. L’étiquetage frontal agit comme un levier de transparence : il informe clairement le consommateur tout en incitant les industriels à revoir leurs procédés. Réduire le sucre, le sel et les graisses saturées n’est pas qu’un objectif de santé publique — c’est aussi un défi technologique qui stimule l’innovation. Les entreprises sont désormais poussées à reformuler leurs produits : substitution partielle du sucre par des édulcorants naturels (stévia, extraits de dattes), remplacement des graisses saturées par des huiles locales plus saines (sésame, arachide), ou encore intégration de fibres et protéines végétales pour améliorer la densité nutritionnelle. Ces adaptations exigent une expertise technique solide, mais elles renforcent à terme la valeur et la durabilité de la production agroalimentaire africaine. Le contexte est alarmant : selon la World Obesity Foundation, près de 45 % des femmes et 26 % des hommes africains pourraient être en surpoids ou obèses d’ici 2030. L’urbanisation rapide, l’essor des revenus et la prolifération de produits ultra-transformés ont profondément modifié les régimes alimentaires. En l’absence de réglementation stricte, de nombreuses multinationales ont profité de cette situation pour écouler sur le continent des produits plus sucrés et plus gras que ceux vendus sur d’autres marchés. Face à cette évolution, le Kenya montre la voie. En combinant étiquetage nutritionnel et taxation sur le sucre, le pays place la santé publique au cœur de sa politique alimentaire. Cette approche pourrait inspirer les États de la CEDEAO et de l’UEMOA, où la consommation d’aliments transformés progresse rapidement. Pour les technologues alimentaires africains, le défi est clair : accompagner cette transition vers une production plus saine, fondée sur les ressources locales et les innovations durables. L’avenir du secteur repose sur la capacité des PME à proposer des produits équilibrés, sûrs et compétitifs. En définitive, l’étiquetage nutritionnel n’est pas une contrainte, mais un catalyseur de progrès. Il encourage la recherche, l’innovation et la responsabilité sociale des entreprises, tout en redonnant au consommateur africain le pouvoir de choisir des aliments qui nourrissent sans nuire. | |||||
