Near the Foundation and Nutresa for the elimination of carbon emissions
The Near Foundation and Nutresa have a common mission to enable environmentally friendly practices. Additionally, the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices have ranked Nutresa as the world’s most sustainable food company for two consecutive years. As such, their partnership is strategically oriented to remain competitive in the global marketplace.
The agri-food company specializes in the manufacture and distribution of charcuterie, biscuits, chocolates, coffee, ice cream, and pasta under a portfolio of 70 brands. The company has manufacturing plants in Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Panama, Peru, the United States, and Venezuela, among others. However, its products are available in 65 countries around the world.
Over the past two years, the food manufacturing company has seen a significant increase in total sales, according to quarterly reports. Nonetheless, Nutresa is committed to expanding its global market through blockchain technology. Additionally, blockchain technology is secure, scalable, and more environmentally friendly.
As a secure proof-of-stake network, Near Protocol has unveiled an $800 million ecosystem fund to support environmentally friendly decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms
Launched in 2021, the fund includes $350 million in funding from Proximity Labs. Of that amount, $250 million has been allocated to help existing projects scale and $100 million to seed grant pools, where 20 startups are supposed to receive $5 million each.
Global regulators are concerned about secure proof-of-work blockchains like Bitcoin and Dogecoin. No wonder the Ethereum ecosystem recently migrated to PoS via the September 15 merger event.
