Carbon on the dole

Dole Food plans to make its supply chain for Costa Rican bananas and pineapples entirely carbon-neutral. The US fruit and vegetables company signed an agreement with the state-run National Forestry Financing Fund to introduce more efficient production and transportation methods. The project also entails an offsetting element, through reforestation. Dole aims to be carbon-neutral in all its global operations by 2021.
