Discover the interconnected roles that shape our food systems and how each play a role in elevating food systems sustainability. Stora Enso has created a new learning hub featuring stories and downloadable resources that introduces each of the system's contributors that together work toward large-scale actions like reducing global hunger and undernutrition. We also uncover why the right packaging matters and how it can drive positive change across the entire food landscape.

Despite the progress, our large and complex food systems are also highly sensitive and face numerous threats such as climate change and biodiversity loss. Such challenges potentially impact the livelihoods of countless communities and their access to nutritious food. On top of this, food waste and loss are an ever-present challenge with one-third lost in the production or wasted during the distribution or consumption stages. This makes it imperative for us to engage in proactive efforts to ensure the resilience and sustainability of our food systems.

Fortunately, there are ample opportunities to respond to these issues and build a world where food is respected. Our learning hub aims to showcase how each of us can play a part in creating better, more sustainable food systems. Positioned uniquely as a packaging materials supplier, we observe firsthand how the right packaging can make a significant difference. Packaging is integral to every aspect of our food systems with the power to reduce food loss and waste, promote healthy diets, protect and restore land, and contribute to the preservation of our oceans.

Our mission extends beyond merely sharing information. This new platform is designed to serve as an educational resource to become acquainted with the various contributors to our food ecosystems, including farmers, brand owners, retailers, consumers, waste managers, packaging innovators, and the packaging industry. Join us as we unravel the complexities of food system sustainability and discover how packaging choices can make a world of difference.
