Focusing primarily on row crop agriculture, Simone works at the intersection of food companies, agribusiness and voluntary standards setting bodies such as SBTi and Greenhouse Gas Protocol to drive corporate ambition across greenhouse gases. She also works on strategy development for adaptation and resilience of food businesses as climate change impacts row crop supply chains and continuity of ingredient supply.
