The future of mass-meat production just got a serious upgrade - without any animals involved! This major partnership between Believer Meats and GEA Group aims to solve the cultivated meat industry's two biggest challenges: scalability and sustainability. If you’re involved with/following conversations on global food security, alternative proteins, and animal welfare, you’ll know labs and startups are struggling to make economically viable products. We've come a long way since the $330,000 burger, but we're still about 7-10 years away from lab-grown meat being readily available in supermarkets, partly due to the current limitations of bioreactor size, which are necessary to scale from pharmaceutical-grade to food-grade manufacturing. If GEA’s expertise can ramp up sustainable meat production, it’s a huge step forward - not just for the industry, but for reducing future instances of animal suffering too 🐔🐷🐄 This is one to watch... who’s excited to try lab-grown meat?

Urban farmers markets epitomize an environmentally-conscious lifestyle—home-grown vegetables, paper bags, the occasional beetle in your organic raspberries. Surely nothing could be better for the climate than buying food grown literally just around the corner? But conventional agriculture is now immensely efficient, and operates at a scale that makes pea-patch spuds look like very small potatoes. https://lnkd.in/gjjRrQ2D

The Hidden Hurdles of Dairy: Scaling Up Sustainably Building a sustainable dairy supply chain has its challenges! While everyone loves fresh milk, the journey from farm to factory can be complex, especially for small producers. Here's why: 1. Finding & Empowering Pastolists: Connecting with remote pastrolist communities and providing training requires significant investment. 2. Logistics & Infrastructure: Efficient milk collection requires specialized equipment, transportation, and central aggregation points – a hefty upfront cost. 3. Temperature Control: Maintaining proper chilling throughout the supply chain demands specialized infrastructure for both on-farm and transportation. These hurdles can make it difficult for new players to enter the market. What are your thoughts? How can we create a more inclusive and scalable dairy industry? #dairy #sustainability #agriculture #supplychain

The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea. That sentence was written over 90 years ago, by Danish author Isak Dinesen, and it still rings true today. Especially for us as farmers of a native Australian seaweed with the supernatural power of cutting methane emissions in livestock, almost entirely.   While it's under increasing pressure, the ocean has given us an incredible solution, which we've learnt to harness. Now we're helping pioneering businesses, farms, and supply chains tap into a new and prosperous economy, driven by making the world a better place. One of those dairy farms is Ashgrove Cheese, who we collaborated with to make the world's first climate-friendly milk. Eco-Milk produces way less carbon per litre, meaning dairy farmers can continue their traditional ways of making a living, while having a positive impact on the planet. So now (if you live in Tassie) you can change your milk and help change the world. Available at Woolworths Supermarkets, Hill Street Grocer, Salamanca Fresh, and IGA Supermarkets stores across Tasmania. ------------------------------ Want a low-emission milk option in mainland Australia?

#DYK that more than two thirds of our emissions come from the ingredients that make up our products? This is why we work closely with farmers in the UK who supply milk for products including KitKat and Nescafé Frothy Coffees, to support them to protect and enhance their land to have a long term impact. Kate Edley and Katrina Harrison, from our Nestlé Professional business, recently joined Bidfood to talk about regenerative agriculture and how we’re working with not only UK farmers, but those further afield to improve the carbon footprint in our entire supply chain.

Love Built - WOW! on Wednesday. Looking back to see forward... This week's highlight: Big Picture Foods The epitome of "slow food", Big Picture Foods works with small farms committed to practicing regenerative agriculture. Industry veterans Daniela & Chris Jensen saw first-hand the shortcomings of our food system - how it prioritized cost savings and speed over the quality of food. Knowing there was a better way, they partnered with longtime friend and colleague, Sotiris, set their sights on The Big(er) Picture. They're "part of a bigger movement to bring back a new (old) way of doing things – disrupting industrial practices, exposing false promises and bringing clean, better food to more people." You can be sure you're on the wining side when you purchase Big Picture Foods' FULL PRODUCT LINE, as it is officially Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC)! Not only is ROC better for the land and the farmer - it creates nutrient rich foods that deliver more robust flavors; flavors manifested in raw and fermented olives, peppers and capers. Integrating right livelihood for all and committing to upholding a regenerative practice is the premise of Big Picture Foods. I give gratitude each day (not just on Wednesdays) to people that see the Big Picture and put in the hard work to shift the extractive systems to systems of regeneration.

SokoFresh™ founder, Denis Karema recently put pen to paper on some of the key 2023 reflections. Here are some notable insights: 🔹Some of what keeps most farmers awake at night are the uncertainties of demand, fair and timely payment for their produce sales, and the impacts of climate change on production patterns and post-harvest quality preservation. 🔹Solar-powered cold storage infrastructure has been critical for farmers growing perishable produce, and we have seen an uptake of the solution among out-grower schemes and small and medium-sized farmers. 🔹 "What makes SokoFresh’s business model a great deal for farmers is the fact that we address quality management, produce demand, and fair and timely payments, as well as capacity building through strategic partnerships."-Denis Karema.
