Did you know that regenerative agriculture improves the nutritional value of our food? A study published in the Peer J Journal was conducted on 10 different farms from across the Midwest and the Eastern US and concluded that the crops grown on farms with regenerative farming practices had a healthier nutritional profile than those grown on conventional farms. Food grown with regenerative farming practices contained more magnesium, calcium, potassium, zinc, and vitamins, B1, B12, C, E, and K. Regenerative organic agriculture is good for the planet, communities, and our health!

Asia is popping up on the #GlobalMap! Iseral-based cellular agriculture company Aleph Farms is choosing BKK as an important production location. "In 2021, the company signed an MoU with #Thai Union, the world’s largest tuna processor, following research that revealed that #74% of Singaporeans and #97% of Thais are willing to try cell-cultured meat. Aleph Farms has announced a similar agreement with #Mitsubishi in #Japan." 📈 Another great report from GFI Asia Pacific is worth reading!

Consumers increasingly want #food that is not only good for them, but also good for the planet and those who work the land, which is why Daily Harvest is teaming with industry leaders and USDA to help more #farmers -- including small-scale #BIPOC farmers -- transition to #organic and adopt #regenerativeagriculture practices. Watch my video interview with Ricky Silver to learn more about the power of private-public partnerships to rethink food production, #agriculture and the overall #foodsystem. https://lnkd.in/gMYuWc2h

Food companies can develop innovative products that utilize a variety of plant-based ingredients, for example, thereby driving demand and making crop diversification a more viable option for farmers. https://lnkd.in/excNtBce #Innovation #Creativity

Africans are increasingly reliant on the small number of staple crops that dominate global agriculture, despite the nutritional and environmental benefits of indigenous crops such as millet, sorghum, teff, and fonio. African governments must work with the agri-food industry and farmers to increase production of these foods. Read More | https://lnkd.in/d36Etd6f

To achieve sustainable and resilient food and nutrition security, we must innovate and adapt in the fields of Agriculture, food, and Health systems. Traditional farming methods often involve heavy use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. There was a common belief that Organic agriculture had lower productivity and couldn't sustain food demands, leading to the reliance on chemical fertilizers despite associated health risks. The dilemma presented was a choice between feeding the population with potential health hazards or risking future food shortages due to lower organic yields. However, insights from Brazilian experts (related to organic agriculture, which emphasizes organic fertilizer, zero tillage, and cover crops) suggest that it's feasible to increase productivity and meet food demands through Organic Agriculture practices. Furthermore, I've learned that ensuring optimal health and nutrition for people begins with the health of the soil and plants. Just like humans, plants also require adequate nutrition to thrive and support overall well-being.
