FDF Awards Environmental sustainability

Glebe Farm Foods, a British oat producer, invests £1 million annually in renewable energy and circular processes, aiming for energy self-sufficiency within five to seven years. The company has centralized packing at its Cambridgeshire site, significantly reducing transport emissions, and is installing solar panels and biomass boilers that use oat husk residues to generate steam, eliminating fossil fuel use for oat flaking. These sustainable efforts have attracted partnerships with major UK foodservice operators like British Airways and Elior as part of their green initiatives.
