IIf you’re buying an A-rated washing machine rather than a C-rated washing machine, you expect to pay a premium. Stephen Arthur, Chair of the Irish Farmers Association Dairy Committee and a #DairyFarmer in Wicklow, used this analogy to explain the unfairness of farmers not being rewarded for their #sustainability efforts.📺 Watch the full May #MilkPriceMonthly episode with Stephen and our CEO, Diarmaid Mac Colgáin, on Agri Insider 👉 🐮 Everyone in #dairy benefits from Concept Dairy™ 🚀 !#DairyIndustry #DairySector #agribusiness #agricultureandfarming

We are witnessing a significant shift in the attitude of large corporations towards regenerative agriculture. More and more, these companies are recognizing the importance of embracing sustainable agricultural practices and are willing to invest in their implementation. However, to achieve a real impact, we must break down the barriers that often exist between regenerative agriculture experts and these corporations. It is essential to establish bridges of collaboration and dialogue so that the expertise and knowledge of these experts can effectively guide both companies and farmers on their journey towards a more sustainable agricultural approach.

🥕 What do we really want from food? How can we make it fairer, healthier and greener? 🥕Last month, our co-founder Hannah Barlow joined our PartnerSue Pritchard from the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission, Marija Rompani, Charlotte Hollins and James Perry at the recent Oxford Farming Conference.📊 78% of Brits think we need to change how we do food. 75% think everyone should be able to afford healthy food. And a whopping 77% believe in having high standards for health and the environment. 📊The panel discussed the role of business in enabling healthy habits, the role of Government intervention in the food system and the huge stake that the public has in this conversation as, quite simply, everyone eats.What's your take on this?

The chasm between beef and dairy is being bridged as the two industries fuse in a trend that could be good for beef, dairy, consumers, the marketplace, and maybe the environment. The advent of sex-specific sem*n made a whole lot of dairy cow uteruses available. Meanwhile the beef industry needed calves. The result: beef bulls being bred to dairy calves creating calves intended specifically for the beef trade. This trend is upending the marketplace. Ian Wheal of meat supply chain consultancy Breedr joins Nebraska cattleman and founder of HerdDogg — a cattle biometrics company — Andrew Uden for an explanatory dialogue about Beef-on-Dairy.Listen / subscribe to The Business of Agriculture, brought to you by Pattern Ag and Truterra, LLC. https://lnkd.in/gz7Jqmnc

FT Food Revolution: A better way to farm fish"Aquaculture, or fish farming, is the fastest growing form of food production in the world. Most fish farming is done in pens out at sea, but that comes with significant environmental problems. High-tech, land-based fish farms are still a niche part of the industry, but that may well change, as scrutiny about the way our seafood is raised intensifies."Oberland Agriscience Inc. and our partners, Sustainable Blue feature in a Financial Times story on the fastest growing form of food production on the planet, and how we can responsibly feed that food source.https://lnkd.in/etRwcBFU

Thanks to The Straits Times and The New Paper for this coverage. Against a backdrop of our 30-by-30 food security goals, there's an increasing expectation for our farmers to:1.⁠ ⁠Stay true to our WHY.Adapt to a dynamic environment and adopt new methods and technology, but never lose sight of our core purpose. Someone has to feed our families, communities and society. Why not our farmers? 2.⁠ ⁠Always challenge our own change paradigms.While farming isn’t always about the money, we have to stay commercially viable. Therefore remain open to new areas of growth and innovation, or risk becoming irrelevant. 3.⁠ ⁠Engage widely for diverse views. Issues on food shortage and climate change are complex, impacting multiple stakeholders who are more consumption-conscious. We need solutions that are multi-faceted and many helping hands.Since we started The Local Farm, we've always stayed true to our purpose. But we remain responsive in our approach to the business of farming and food.With our ready-to-eat products and offerings such as Farmpack for Good, The Local Farm Festival, and an award-winning Bistro that sources extensively from local farms, we've supported the community in practical ways.Families have also enjoyed our farm-to-table initiatives. You too can play a part in helping both farmers and families through our farm-to-table initiatives.Find out how by leaving us your name and contact and we'll be in touch!#thelocalfarm #thelocalfarmsg #foodsecurity #farmtotable #gardenasia

Our CEO, Zoltan Toth-Czifra, is a #FoodHeroes20! He’s been named by V-Label as one of 20 inspiring individuals across the globe that are transforming our food system. This is due to his work in founding Real Deal Milk, with his mission to eliminate factory farming and the suffering that comes with it, for the animals and our planet. “I strive to end that, and build a more just and compassionate food system.”.“If people won’t entirely give up animal products, we need to find a way to make them sustainably and ethically – ‘veganly,’ if you will. That’s what Real Deal Milk is working on, with a focus on dairy.”Check out the full article and the other food heroes here:https://lnkd.in/ekC576bf
