One of the best asset classes in commercial real estate is #food #facility real estate, including #coldstorage. This space is extremely expensive to build and this is constraining supply. This makes existing food and cold storage facilities that much more valuable. This is an outstanding opportunity for an investor to acquire this type of property in a great submarket that's experienced extremely strong growth over the past 25 years.

Foodhills AB (Peas) operates on the premises of Foodhills Fastigheter along with around 30 other companies, more or less focused on the food industry. We asked property manager Oskar Lyngö: How do you collaborate with Foodhills regarding peas? "Our peak season starts when the harvesting season begins," Oskar explains. "We work closely with Foodhills AB with short check-ins throughout the season to ensure operations run smoothly and that all our commitments are met. We are more or less in standby mode to prevent unnecessary stops," Oskar continues. Foodhills Fastigheter has space for more food companies looking for room to grow or to develop an entirely new business. With its own purification plant, ample water and electricity supply on-site, and a property park with a food focus similar to Lund's "Life Science Park" for research, it provides an ideal environment.

Since 1876, five generations of the Jakeman family have been producing award-winning 100% pure Maple Syrup. They work closely with farms and rural communities all over Ontario to bring you the freshest, purest Maple Syrup they can offer. Did You Know?! Two important events took place in the early 2000's that positioned this family business for growth:   1. Bob Jakeman enlisted the support of a network of over 200 local farm partners. This supplied pure Maple Syrup from North America's largest resources of maple sap forests. 2. The family invented the world's only patented pure filtration process, guaranteeing consistency in flavour grade every time. They have grown into their new 24,000 sq. feet production facility that has been up and running since the spring of 2020. This impressive facility is able to produce thousands of bottles of Maple Syrup every month to meet the needs of Jakeman’s clients all around the world. We recently met up with Chad for a behind-the-scenes tour of the retail gift shop and their new facility with a couple of regional Ministry representatives. We got to learn more about the journey to this point and of course some ideas and plans for the future.

"In the current climatic context, with milder winters leading to earlier budburst in most wine regions, vines are exposed to the risk of spring frosts for a longer period. Depending on the year, frost can lead to yield losses of between 20 and 100 %, jeopardizing the economic survival of wine estates. In addition, by destroying young shoots, spring frosts can impact the following season’s production, by reducing the number of canes available for pruning, for example. Late pruning is one method to combat spring frosts" 👍 🍇 https://lnkd.in/dsEwVhQs

Interesting and quick read:

my article in today's The Morning Journal. Highlighting the need for local Second Harvest to pursue additional funding to keep up with a large expansion in need. Up 32 percent this year. You draw your own conclusions as to "why" it's up, but the need is great and they're pursuing various additional funding: https://lnkd.in/eVz3dqbt

Can Gouda Stall a Sinking Future? I was recently interviewed by Nina Siegal of the New York Times about the future of Gouda in the context of the rising sea level and subsiding soil. The oldest part of the city center subsides at a rate of about 3 to 6 millimeters each year, while newer parts sink by 1 to 2 centimeters a year. In order to tackle the problem, Gouda is spending more than $22 million a year on water mitigation efforts, such as daily maintenance, repairs, system upgrades and pipe replacements. This is expected to increase exponentially. That means that we need to find new solutions, because the solutions we’ve always used are not future proof. Just continuing to pump water out isn’t practical, because eventually it will become too expensive. There is no other Delta area in the world that is so well protected, but also which is so vulnerable. The lack of urgency among Dutch water engineers is annoying. Perhaps we need some kind of disaster in the next 20 years, which would not surprise me. Maybe only then people will respond. Evidence of water creep is everywhere in Gouda. On the Turfmarkt, the water rises to just inches from the top of the canal walls. The water lilies, blooming on the lily pads that dot the water, are just about at street level. Buildings in the old center face frequent flooding, which suffuses the quaint alleyways with sewage water. Cellars regularly become inundated and must be pumped out, while mildew creeps into walls and cracks their plaster surfaces. Some of the oldest houses have no foundations, and more than 1,000 are built on wood piles, which can rot when there is too much ground moisture. There are many houses in the oldest part of town that have their feet, so to say, in the water. A lot of the cellars are filling with water regularly. In my future projections the Green Heart will turn into the Blue Heart, which will mean that the Gouda region will be inundated, where we might live on the water, in floating districts and eventually floating cities. Moving with the water will be the guiding principle for the Netherlands, while reinforcing our water defence structure simultaneously. https://lnkd.in/eJF5s4cF
