N2OFF Inc. to Pursue Food Waste Carbon Credit Verra VM00046 Methodology
Subsidiary’s treatment aims to help reduce pre & post-harvest food waste by extending shelf life of fruits and vegetables, and to potentially provide an alternative revenue stream by issuing carbon credits.
N2OFF, Inc. (NASDAQ: NITO) (FSE:80W) (“N2OFF” and the “Company”), a clean tech company engaged in sustainable solutions for energy and innovation for agri-tech, has announced plans to leverage its subsidiary, Save Foods Ltd.’s (“Save Foods”), patented treatment aimed at extending the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. This initiative will explore monetizing the quantification of emission reductions by maintaining food in the human supply chain.
If successful, the Company could be eligible for designated food waste carbon credits. Save Foods has enlisted sustainability strategy experts from the Nibbana-Group, led by Galit Kenigsberg, to identify pathways for alternative revenue streams linked to their patented treatment.
Verra VM00046 Methodology Overview
The analysis revealed that Save Foods may fulfill the criteria set forth in the Verra VM00046 methodology, which allows for the earning of various benefits, including food waste carbon credits. This methodology specifically targets project activities that actively work to reduce food loss and waste (FLW), as well as increase food availability for human consumption.
It encompasses different stages of the food supply chain—encompassing farms, food processing facilities, retailers, food services/hospitalities, and households—enabling organizations to be eligible for carbon credits through their efforts in food waste reduction.
