Abstract
More than any industry discussed in this book, the food and beverage (F&B) sector is crucially dependent on sound ecosystems. The sector needs ecological raw materials for production. At the same time, the production of foodstuffs leads to a significant abstraction, exhaustion and deterioration of environmental resources. Given this dilemma, I ask to what extent the South African F&B industry contributes to mitigating these impacts, and what the main drivers are that determine its contributions to environmental governance.
