I would consider this quite a breakthrough and I am pleasantly surprised and agree with this response from the California Coastal Commission. I am still curious about the flux of esp. Nitrogen (and also Carbon for calculation) in terms of their % retention in the yellowtail production. Ideally, we should turn all of it, sequentially into bacterial and micro- and macroalgal biomass and from there it could be turned into bivalve and shrimp protein, or some other invertebrate, or even finfish protein. How would the techno-economical analysis of such an operation look like, could it be made feasible?

There are so many things I loved about this webcast with Kassi Tom-Rowland. Kassi is part of a multi-generational farm, started by her grandfather. Under Ambassador Kip Tom's stewardship, Tom Farms has grown to be one of the largest farms in the US. Some of my favorite quotes from her translate so well to every business, irrespective of their size and industry! 1) On dealing with adversity: "It is so important to know you are going to have hard days, but there are going to be so many more good ones." 2) On a new customer: "We are always humbled when people ask us to farm their land." 3) On advice to new businesses: "...you should know your customers and what kind of relationships they want to have with you."

Ticked off the Ekka Monday, so thought I’d head to Mackay today to talk future industry development with local leaders. There’s no shortage of opportunity as we seek to use our existing sector strengths to create the industries of the future. But here’s the strong message from today: Industry development solely for corporate profit isn’t the point. What about local community benefit? We are the Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning and we ask, what’s in it for Queenslanders? #whatsinitforus? #socialbenefit #economicprosperity

In a world where the sustainability of our food systems and the vitality of our rural communities are increasingly under threat, the role of small farms has never been more critical. Today, I'm excited to share a piece that goes to the heart of Revert Foods' mission and reflects our deep commitment to championing the unsung heroes of British agriculture: our small farmers. This blog post, 'Reviving the Heart of Britain: The Call to Support Our Small Farms,' delves into the myriad ways small farms enrich our environment, bolster our communities, and sustain our local economies. It's a celebration of their resilience, a reflection on their challenges, and, most importantly, a call to action for all of us to support these vital pillars of the British countryside. As we navigate the challenges of modernity and face the pressing issues highlighted by recent European protests, it's imperative that we rally behind the small farms that form the backbone of our agricultural heritage. I invite you to read, reflect, and join us in this crucial mission to nurture a sustainable, equitable, and thriving future for British agriculture. https://lnkd.in/e3d7ja_d
