A New Path for Mexican Avocados
The Mexican avocado industry developed Path to Sustainability which serves as a robust strategy to combat climate issues while protecting environmental prosperity between all agricultural sectors and ecosystem areas.
This strategy unites farmers together with packers and exporters so these entities can pursue emission targets that will push them toward reaching net-zero emissions by 2035.
What the Plan Covers
The environmental strategy consists of these four main targets.
Water Sustainability in Avocado Farming
- Rainwater alone supplies watering needs for more than sixty percent of Michoacán’s orchards.
- The implementation of drip irrigation along with other smart methods reaches 35% of total operations.
- The water management system will launch its complete setup by 2026.
A successful watershed preservation method plays an essential role in achieving this objective.
Biodiversity Gets a Boost
- The new biodiversity plan will become operational throughout the current year.
- 1.6 million trees already planted.
- The implementation of pest control systems and pollinator programs works to retain natural ecological stability.
The main objective involves protecting wildlife while locally rebuilding damaged environments.
Climate Goals Are Front and Center
- The entire avocado supply chain operates with carbon-reducing initiatives.
- The target? Net-zero carbon footprint by 2035.
- The solution requires carbon capture together with environmental practices and sustainable approaches.
Stopping Deforestation
- A fresh investigation of forest patterns begins operations during this year.
- There exists approximately 3.6 million pine forests found in avocado-growing areas.
- The organization will monitor and deliver reports about forest protection initiatives.
Real Action, Not Just Promises
The current initiative to achieve sustainability is already underway:
- The initiative receives support from environmental experts at both Pollination Group and Innovagro.
- This plan incorporates industry-wide input during its development process.
- The program will track its progress which will be reported to stakeholders every six months.
The Strategy Foundation Relies on Five Strong Programs that Perform these Functions
The ground implementation of this plan consists of five main programs.
- Corporate Governance – Drives a green culture across the sector.
- Sustainable Orchards – Cleaner growing methods in every field.
- Packing facilities have established eco-friendly packing systems.
The strategy features Innovative Distribution Solutions which Boost the Transportation of Avocados to Markets.
This strategy involves the restoration of forests together with rivers as well as wildlife populations.
Why This Matters
The planet benefits in two ways from these measures.
Both businesses and people involved with Mexican avocado cultivation and distribution use this approach because it benefits everything they do.
The plan promises:
- Cleaner farms
- More trees
- Better water
- Less waste
Every time we eat an avocado we strengthen the voice for nature which exists in the fruit.
What’s Next?
Aiming for zero emissions and total forest preservation positions the Mexican avocado industryat the highest level of sustainability.
It’s not just farming anymore.
It’s farming with purpose.
And it’s only just begun.
