A paradigm shift is occurring in how restaurants stock their dry pantry, and in tomorrow's EcoFarm session we'll be exploring how farmers and chefs join forces to co-create essential pantry items such as specialty rice, aging preserved ferments, and artisanal condiments. This direct collaboration not only fuels culinary creativity but also bolsters the restaurant's purchasing power. Moderated by the ROA's Elizabeth Whitlow and joined by Dax Hanson of Oatman Farms, Seigo Okada of Japan Gold, and Wendy Tsuji of Luna Koshihikari, we're excited to dive deep into the potential of items like organic grains, heirloom wheat, and cultural condiments from artisan purveyors to elevate creativity and as well as the bottom line. We'll explore how innovative distribution networks, farmer-to-chef direct initiatives, brand creation, Regenerative Organic Certified practices, and extensive education efforts ensure a sustainable impact that transcends the plate. Dry storage is no longer a dry subject!

Embracing #Sustainability in #Winemaking: A Fusion of #innovation and #tradition. As someone deeply rooted in #Portugueseheritage, my appreciation for fine wine runs in my veins. Yet, beyond the artistry in winemaking lies a vision: a sustainability revolution reshaping the very essence of this cherished tradition. The convergence of artificial intelligence with agribusiness is ushering in a new era for sustainability in winemaking. It's not just about producing exceptional wines; it's about transforming grapes into a multifaceted resource, extending far beyond the wine glass. Picture this: an ecosystem where grapes serve not just the wine industry but also find their way into cosmetics, animal nutrition, and even as a source of energy. The potential is boundless, and the impact on sustainability is profound. Artificial intelligence has empowered us to maximize every facet of grape cultivation, optimizing resources, and minimizing waste. Precision farming techniques guided by AI algorithms ensure the most efficient use of water, pesticides, and fertilizers, minimizing environmental impact without compromising quality. Moreover, the grape, once solely celebrated for its transformation into fine wine, is now a versatile ingredient. Its derivatives in cosmetics promise natural, sustainable alternatives, while its role in animal nutrition ensures nothing goes to waste. Even more fascinating is its potential as an energy source, a testament to its versatility and our capacity for innovation. This holistic approach isn't just about revolutionizing winemaking; it's about catalyzing a sustainable transformation in the entire industry. It's a testament to the fusion of tradition and innovation, where the ancient art of winemaking meets the demands of a modern, conscientious world. Together, AI, agribusiness, and sustainability are scripting a new narrative for the wine industry, one that celebrates not just the taste of fine wines but also their journey, from the vineyard to a multitude of sustainable applications. This paradigm shift marks the evolution of winemaking, promising a future where the humble grape becomes a symbol of sustainability and innovation. Here's to embracing this revolutionary era—a toast to sustainability, innovation, and the transformative power of the vine.

🔮 Here's an early prediction for 2024: Barley maltsters and their brewing and distilling customers will begin a radical change in how they categorise and manage their supply chains. Here's why... ADM's recent "Farming for the Future" report built on the growing evidence that consumers - when educated - are attracted to the "Regenerative Agriculture" product claim: 🤝 73% would be more likely to trust the retailer/brand 💰 72% would be more likely to purchase from them Therefore, brand and product marketers from the world's largest food and beverage brands have a big incentive to "unlock" this novel new product claim. And there are two things, marketers love two things... ✨ Novelty 📈 Sales AHDB - Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board puts consumer awareness at 14%. Whilst research by McCain Foods has it at c. 30%. But as brands pump millions into campaigns designed at educating consumers about the numerous benefits of this approach - and even more into the projects that sit behind then - this number will surely grow. ⛔ However, on the horizon there is a speed bump. Namely the EU Green Claims Directive... For brands, this will mean that they will need to do two things differently: 🌾 Associate the "Regeneratively Grown" claim with a specific ingredient 📑 Evidence that claim with greater supply traceability And this will impact brewers, distillers and their maltsters more than others for two main reasons: 1️⃣ The Craft Beer and Spirits Revolution Brewers and distillers have been at the forefront of using environmental credentials as a way of differentiating their products. As such, they have set a high bar with their customer base. One of which comprises of demographics that is values environmental and social impact more highly than others. 2️⃣ Market Consolidation The maltster middlemen have undergone a huge amount of consolidation over the past decade. This rebalances the influence and bargaining power maltsters have over farmers in many regional markets. I believe the result will be a more proactive segmentation between: 🍃 Sustainable barley supply shed 📊 Commodity barley supply sheds In the sustainable barley supply sheds, increased product margins will be achieved for all parties through a combination of... 💸 A premium will be paid for barley where regenerative practices can be evidenced using initiatives like the SAI Platform [Increasing the farmers margin] ⛓️ Practices-to-plot-to-product traceability will be maintained to evidence the relationship between all three using platforms like Agritask [Increasing the maltsters margin] 🎥 Maltsters will increasingly facilitate storytelling by connecting brands with growers through programs like Malteries Soufflet's Content Factory [Increasing the brands margin]. For any sustainable practice to be sustainable, it also needs to be profitable. The reason why I'm so bullish about Regenerative Agriculture is because I believe it can be. #regenerativeagriculture

Golden, flaky and buttery - we love a Croissant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As it's National Croissant Day, we're taking a look at three bakeries that are making strides to reduce their environmental footprint: 🥐 Reducing waste with GAIL's Bakery - Working with local organisations to ensure that surplus food is distributed to those in need, Gail's also bakes with otherwise wasted ingredients in several of their recipes. 🥐 Organic ingredients with The Celtic Bakers Limited - Committed to using Soil Association certified organic ingredients for its bread and pastries, Celtic Bakers has put an emphasis on supporting sustainable and regenerative agriculture. 🥐 Greener packaging with Lola's Cupcakes - With a sizable food-to-go operation, Lola's has ensured all of its cupcake and cake boxes are fully recyclable (and easily separated at processing plants) and is working towards 100% plastic-free packaging. The Knowledge Labs team from Nutritics is on hand to advise, educate and help implement sustainable business practices - get in touch today to find out more. #NationalCroissantDay #Sustainability #Bakery
