Dillon Consulting Limited presents: “Greenhouse Gases and Food” – a webinar
I know greenhouse gases (GHGs) come out of the tailpipe when I drive, but I work in food security and I am concerned about:
Where do food organizations emit GHGs?
How can we measure our emissions?
How can we mitigate our emissions?
The Dillon team will answer these questions and more in a webinar that teaches the basics of greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting: “Greenhouse Gases and Food”.
The purpose of “Greenhouse Gases and Food” is to help food security organizations gain an understanding of GHG inventories, identify mitigation methods, and learn how to set targets to reduce emissions.
In this webinar you will learn:
What GHGs are
Types of GHG emissions
Sources related to food organizations
How to set reduction targets
Tools that you can use to measure your GHG emissions
“Greenhouse Gases and Food” is sponsored by Dillon Consulting as part of our Million Meals Campaign, and is free to participants.
The webinar will be held on Thursday, March 31, 2022 at 11am Pacific / 1pm Central / 3pm Atlantic.

Upcoming Trade Missions
SAVE THE DATE: econext’s Spring Trade Mission, May 15-19, 2023.
Please note: Companies who apply to participate in a trade mission are strongly encouraged to have conducted prior market research and analysis and developed an entry strategy for the region. If a company has not yet pre-qualified the market and completed such preparatory work, they are strongly encouraged to do so and may wish to apply for participation in the Customized Consulting and Advisory Services program (referenced above) to support with such efforts.
The time is now to light a fire under the energy transition in the Caribbean. The time is now to reconvene the regional energy market in-person at CREF 2022 in Miami.
The focus? On inspiring action by bringing the full ecosystem of policy-makers, regulators, utilities, investors, developers and financiers together in an environment which encourages the market to meet, originate and transact. Expect a cutting-edge agenda and a reconfigured meeting space all designed with one thought in mind: How do we get the energy transition over the finish line?
Some issues are perennial – the need for regulators to take the helm, for example, and the dearth of bankable projects – while others are new to the table. What role will Green Hydrogen come to play in the regional economy? Can we now scale up e-mobility programs and infrastructure across the region? Has Covid accelerated the shift to DG in the region? We’ll be tackling all this and much, much more over the course of CREF 2022.
Expect challenges to be resolved. Expect projects to be originated. Expect the market to be out in force. Expect CREF 2022 to make a difference. We invite you to join us.
