Monterey's culture was shaped and enriched by people from many backgrounds. They each had their own connection to the ocean. It's time to tell the story of this overlooked part of our past so we can shape a healthy future for the ocean and everyone who depends on it. https://lnkd.in/g9XWrCFd #IndigenousWisdom #multicultural #diversity #stories #connection #MarineLife #fishing #seafood

In every ecosystem, there are predators and there are prey. Usually predators are fewer in number than prey because they are higher up the food chain. #ecosystems #marketPhilosophy

With over 750,000 hectares, France is one of the world's leading producers of grapes and wine, with figures on the rise 🍇 Faced with the challenges of climate change and regulatory pressure, winegrowers need access to CSR data throughout their value chain, and in an increasingly short space of time, to assess, analyze and make decisions. 📊 It was against this backdrop that we developed the WinePilot by FoodPilot tool to help winegrowers to reduce their environmental footprint easily and effectively while increasing productivity. So are you ready to take action for the ecological transition? 🌍 For more information and to request a demonstration of our interface, visit our website : https://lnkd.in/ettEywUA #WinePilot #Climate #Winegrowers

Water covers 71% of the surface of the earth. But how much of our food really comes from the sea? Today only 2% of the calories humans consume are sourced from our oceans. Our oceans, rivers and waterways have fed people around the globe for millennia, seemingly effortlessly, with fish and seafood forming the foundation of global food systems, diverse ecosystems, and cuisines central to cultural identity. But in the face of climate change; the damage caused by industrial fishing; and the potential for our oceans to help feed an increasingly crowded planet, a revolution in our aquatic industries is coming. Join us to meet the innovators leading the way. Deep dive into the future of fish and seafoods as we meet the change-makers rethinking our food system’s relationship with oceans, waterways and the life that exists within them. You’ll discover innovations in aquaculture bringing together… 🐟 CEOs 🐟 Industry Leaders 🐟 Start-up Founders 🐟 Chefs 🐟 Campaigners 🐟 Investors 🐟 Innovators… to discover, debate and taste the coming seafood revolution. 📅 Date: 23rd May 2024 ⏰ Time: 11:30 AM 🎟️ Book your ticket: Link in Comments [https://lnkd.in/e4BwGGUD] #MissionKitchen #TomorrowsTable #FutureofFish #FoodInnovation #FoodEventsLondon

Ever heard the saying The #grass is always greener on the other side? It means we often think other people's lives are better than ours. We might envy someone's #job, #lifestyle, or #opportunities. But what if we focused on making our own lives better instead? Instead of wishing for what others have, let's work on improving our own situation. By appreciating what we have and striving for our #goals, we can find happiness right where we are. Let's stop comparing and start appreciating our own unique journey. Together, let's make our lives the best they can be! #FoodForThought #EmbraceYourJourney #GrowYourOwnGrass #CareerJourney

In today's excellent Plenary Session from Francesc Xavier Medina Luque, several food for thoughts emerged about origins of food, its authenticity and geographical indication. It raised an important question: does place really matter when it comes to food? Given that places and territories are often social and political constructs, defining what constitutes original food for a specific geographical area becomes really complex. But I am more curious to understand if authentic food is a reflection of culture and territory, or is it more about adapting practices to local resources? Can our definition of authentic food shift with changing biodiversity? These questions challenge our understanding of food identity as either culturally defined or one dictated by the evolving environments and natural resources over time. #ICFS24 #FoodStudies

🌍 With the climate changes we're experiencing, the map of wine producers is set to change 🍷. The researchers in a study entitled "Climate change impacts and adaptations of wine production" mapped the distribution of vineyards in the world to come. Two scenarios were considered: a 2° C increase and a more aggressive 4° C increase. It's fascinating. In most winegrowing regions around the globe, grape harvests have already advanced by 2–3 weeks over the past 40 years. The resulting modifications in grape composition at harvest change wine quality and style 🍇. About 90% of traditional wine regions in coastal and lowland regions of Spain, Italy, Greece and southern California could be at risk of disappearing by the end of the century because of excessive drought and more frequent heatwaves with climate change. Bad news for some regions, but opportunity for others. British Columbia in particular is well positioned 🌦 More and more English wines are appearing on restaurants' wine lists. Soon, we could see wines from Normandy, France or Colombia and even Ecuador. #wine #climatechange #adaptation #future #foodstudy https://lnkd.in/d5j4j8TP

I don’t know about you but I find Shark Tank ABC to be quite an informative guilty pleasure 🙈 Lori is the reasonable one and Kevin tests my nonviolent promise but neither of them is the most interesting part of the show for me. What is most fascinating is that so often, I find myself watching someone non-indigenous sell indigenous items like coconut bowls, tequila, mahjong, and kombucha. This isn’t of course restricted to Shark Tank. Businesses world over often repackage and market indigenous wisdom as their own novel creations. And consistently, when people sell things native to other countries and communities, the difference in pricing is ridiculous. So I did some digging. The reason for this is of course not straightforward. The price disparity sometimes comes from differences in labour costs between the US and the country of the product's origin. If imported, sometimes tariffs cause a hike. But a big part of it is that haldi doodh at home is just haldi doodh. But in the hands of Starbucks and white influencers, it’s golden milk—the immunity elixir. Indigenous culture is exotic when marketed by white Americans to white Americans. But in their hands, do the profits come back to the communities whose knowledge and ingredients were used to build the business in the first place? The answer is usually no. According to a report by the World Intellectual Property Organization – WIPO of the United Nations, indigenous peoples and local communities are often excluded from the benefits of their own traditional knowledge, cultural expressions, and genetic resources. This leads to exploitation, misappropriation, and biopiracy by corporations and individuals who seek to profit from their unique and valuable heritage. This is not only unfair but also harmful to the environment and the diversity of life on Earth. Indigenous peoples and local communities are the custodians of more than 80% of the world’s biodiversity, and their traditional knowledge and practices are essential for conservation. By erasing their contributions and commodifying their culture, we are losing a vital source of wisdom and innovation for the future. LinkedIn community, what instances of heavily marked-up exotics have you seen? What do you get at home for a pittance that you can find at Whole Foods Market for an arm and a leg? What commonplace parts of your culture are exoticised? #Communities #Business #Indigenous #Heritage #Culture
