While climate change, which is more effective day by day, requires all segments of society to take action, "sustainability", which has a critical importance in preventing future environmental problems, is now among the most important agenda items of countries and companies. In this regard, we see that the search for "sustainable food systems" is being addressed more. 16 October World Food Daypublished the “2022 Sustainability Progress Report” in Sutassets an important example in this field with its integrated business model "From Farm to Table", which takes sustainability at its core.

“We wanted to support raising awareness by publishing it on World Food Day”

Expressing that they are happy to share the activities carried out in line with the targets of Sütaş in 50, when it will celebrate the 2025th anniversary of its establishment, and its sustainability performance in 2022. President of Sütaş Sustainability Committee Duygu Yilmaz, “By sharing our report on this important day, we wanted to support raising awareness about the transformation of the food system on the basis of sustainability and circularity. While our world is trying to combat the threats posed by global warming caused by climate change and the rapid depletion of natural resources, as the food industry, we have a responsibility to ensure that the increasing world population has access to healthy food. We believe that it contributes to the solution of these global problems; We work with our "Farm to Table" business model, which allows us to manage the entire process, from the feed the cows are fed to the milk and dairy products reaching the tables, with full supply chain integration. This model, which is based on sustainability and circularity, also allows us to meet our consumers' expectations for naturalness and reliable food in the best possible way.” said.

“Fighting Against Climate Change and Carbon Management Are Among Our Priorities”

Noting that combating climate change and carbon management are among his priorities in 2022, Yılmaz said, “With our work, we achieved a 7 percent decrease in greenhouse gas emissions and a 10 percent decrease in our emission intensity compared to the previous year. The most important tool in reducing our climate impact is our biogas facilities, where we obtain electricity, steam and hot water by processing the fertilizers of our farms and all the organic waste of our facilities. With the investments we have made so far, we have increased our electricity production capacity to 4 MWh and our thermal energy capacities to 18,1 MWh in 18 integrated facilities. We are able to meet 80 percent of the electricity needs of our production facilities. In this way, we also captured 590 thousand tons of carbon. This figure corresponds to 252 percent more than the amount of greenhouse gases produced as a result of our activities. Meanwhile, with energy efficiency studies 2015-2022 We saved 26 million kWh of energy between years. "This savings we achieved is equal to the annual electricity consumption of 9 households." made his assessment.

Renewable Energy is Diversified with Solar Energy Investments

Yılmaz continued his words, sharing his work on renewable energy as follows; “In 2020, we decided to diversify renewable energy production and set an investment target of 25 MWp Solar Power Plant. In this context, we have finalized solar power plant (SPP) investments of 1 MWp in our Bingöl Integrated Facilities and 4,9 MWp in our Tire Integrated Facilities. "Our solar energy feasibility and specification studies continue for the roofs of our farms and production facilities in our other locations."

Feed for Sütaş Cows is Grown in Line with Regenerative Agriculture Principles

Stating that they apply the principles of regenerative agriculture with the farmers they work with on a contract basis, Yılmaz said; “We are increasing the use of organic and organomineral fertilizers obtained from the output of our biogas facilities in agricultural production in order to enrich the soil where the feed our cows eat is grown. In this way, the amount of organic matter we added to our soil increased by 2020 percent in 2022 compared to 43, reaching 43 thousand tons. In this context, determining the effects of organic and organomineral fertilizer use on quality and productivity in agricultural soils with Provincial Directorates of Agriculture and Forestryne "Our trial work continues." said.

Our Facilities Contribute to the Welfare of the Society in the Regions Where They Are Located

Stating that the Farm to Table business model constitutes an example of a "Regional Development Model" with its economic, social impacts and inclusive nature, Yılmaz continued his words as follows; “Our business model allows us to contribute to our stakeholders socially and economically, as well as environmental sustainability. Our investments that we have made with this understanding; While activating many different sub-sectors in the agriculture, industry and service sectors, it contributes to local development and increased social welfare in the regions where we operate. In 2022, we purchased milk from more than 18 thousand milk producers and ensured the production of contracted feed crops on 33,2 thousand decares of land. We supported our forage crop producers, with whom we cooperated through a contract model, on many issues, from soil preparation to appropriate seed selection, from the development of efficient irrigation systems to the supply of organic and organomineral fertilizers and harvest activities. “We contributed to our milk producers to produce higher quality and more efficiently through the training we provided on sustainable dairy farming and on-site inspections.”

Stating that in recent years, the world's attention has turned to food waste and losses, as well as the fight against plastic waste; “We believe in the power of cooperation on both issues, and we work together with our stakeholders on the initiatives created. By 2022, we have used approximately 2.100 tons less plastic in our packaging through our weight reduction efforts. We also managed to reduce our food loss to less than 1%.” said.

Sütaş invites Sustainability volunteers to review its report, which describes its work in the fields of "sustainability of the environment", "health and happiness of individuals" and "development and welfare of society" in line with the 2025 sustainability goals.

Healthy and Functional Frozen Foods Will Be Preferred

Consumers’ increasing awareness of health directly affects their food choices. It is predicted that healthy and functional products will be preferred more in the frozen food sector by 2025. In particular, low-calorie, high-protein and vitamin/mineral-rich frozen foods are expected to be in greater demand. In addition, products suitable for special diets such as gluten-free, organic and vegan will also increase.

Sustainability and Environmentally Friendly Production Will Come to the Fore

Sustainability has become an important issue not only in the agricultural and food sectors, but in all industries. Frozen food manufacturers will continue to focus on environmentally friendly production methods and packaging. Plastic use will be reduced, biodegradable packaging and recycling-oriented solutions will come to the fore. In addition, energy-efficient production facilities and processes that produce less waste will also be part of this trend.

Artificial Intelligence and Automation Technologies Will Increase

Frozen food production is becoming one of the areas that benefit the most from technological developments. As of the new year, artificial intelligence and automation technologies are expected to be used more effectively in production processes. Thanks to these technologies, production efficiency will increase, costs will decrease, and product quality will become more stable.

High-Quality Ready Meals Will Increase Market Share

Intense work tempos and changing lifestyles have increased interest in ready meals. Frozen ready meals will continue to be one of the most important players in this trend. However, not only speed but also taste and nutritional value will be at the forefront. Consumers will expect frozen ready meals to have a homemade taste and natural ingredients. Frozen meals produced with high quality meat, vegetables and local ingredients will have a large market share.

Innovative Products with Biotechnology Will Reduce Environmental Impacts

Biotechnology is another area that could revolutionize frozen food production. In 2025, products produced using biotechnological methods and with increased nutritional value through genetic engineering will be on the market. These products will be of great importance, especially in terms of more efficient production processes and minimizing environmental impacts.

Frozen Vegetable Proteins Are On Their Way

The decrease in meat consumption in the world and especially in developed countries and the increasing interest in plant-based protein are starting a new era in the frozen food market. As of the new year, frozen plant-based protein-based products will offer alternatives to replace meat and dairy products. Proteins obtained from plant sources such as soy, peas, and lentils will become an important part of the market as both delicious and nutritious alternatives.

Demand for Local and Natural Products Will Increase

Consumers’ interest in local and natural products is increasing day by day. In 2025, local production will be supported and more local products will be available in the frozen food market. Collaborations with local farmers and the presentation of natural products in frozen form will be an attractive option, especially for consumers who are environmentally conscious.

2025 will be a year of significant innovations in the frozen food sector in terms of both consumer needs and production technologies. Healthy living, environmentally friendly production and innovative technologies will be the determining factors in shaping this sector. It will be of great importance for brands that want to keep up with the rapidly evolving dynamics of the food industry to develop strategies that are in line with these trends.
