6: From farm to fork
Food production creates a quarter of global carbon emissions. Open Food Facts want to compute the environmental impact of millions of food products across Europe, and help consumers and producers take action to reduce their carbon footprint. By putting an Eco-Score on every label we can make smarter choices about the food we eat. Recorded remotely in April 2021.

5: Measure what matters
Normative want to help measure what matters in a sustainable world, and the first step to mitigating climate change is for companies to measure their climate impact. Normative's automated carbon reporting calculates emissions along a business's entire supply chain, and identifies ways for them to reduce their carbon footprint. Recorded remotely in April 2021.

4: The ground beneath our feet
For years we’ve shaped our agriculture for high yields and food security. Climate Farmers think it’s time to reward a different and very important goal: soil health. By helping farmers measure their ecosystem health and diversity, their goal is to store even more carbon in the ground. Recorded remotely in April 2021.

3: Navigating an ocean of data
Events in the Atlantic Gulf Stream have a far-reaching impact on global weather systems. Understanding them is key to predicting global carbon emissions. Saildrone create and deploy uncrewed, wind and solar powered ocean vehicles to report this data in real time in one of Earth’s harshest ocean environments. Recorded remotely in March 2021.
