The carbon neutral food market is projected to grow from $94.02 billion in 2025 to $145.96 billion by 2030, a 9.2% CAGR, according to The Business Research Company. The report attributes the rise to consumer demand for certified carbon neutral products, regulatory pressure around sustainability reporting, investment in regenerative agriculture, and use of blockchain for food traceability. Notable moves include Smart Foods buying The Aussie Plant-Based Co. in 2024 and vEEF launching four carbon neutral plant based products with 50% less plastic packaging. The market spans vegetables, meat, dairy, and other foods, with categories for carbon neutral, carbon negative, and low carbon products. For companies tracking low carbon food trends, the report's value is in the segmentation and company activity, not just the headline number.
