The Grocer Vision’s Post

There’s no way around it — fat is delicious. That’s why Hoxton Farms is developing sustainable cultivated fats to combine with plant protein for better, tastier meat alternatives. All their R&D teams use Benchling as their central source of truth, saving hours with automated data capture and analysis. And now, they can power their #machinelearning models with data they can trust. https://lnkd.in/gRgQ9Xdm #BuiltOnBenchling

Tune into Radio Teemaneng today at 12:10 PM to hear insights from Andre Bergh, our General Manager of Feedlot and Farms, on what this year has been like for the industry, and what this may mean for you if you are in the red meat or beef supply chain sectors. #BeefmasterGroup #RadioTeemaneng #TuneIn

Yesterday, members and advocates from around the organic supply chain joined OTA on Capitol Hill to press for organic priorities in the upcoming Farm Bill. The team met with over 20 congressional offices on both sides of the aisle to discuss essential initiatives like continuous improvement, market development, and funding for organic programs at USDA.

https://lnkd.in/eM-faBY7 Double whammy for us last week with a lovely article from both The Economist and The Guardian. Everyone is talking about the boom in seaweed as a potential miracle. Which it absolutely is. But to make use of it, correctly, carefully, safely and sensitively is still all about well curated industrial processes. We need this debate to rage on. And for hearts and minds to continue to be captured. Imagine a world without single use plastic, or a world with real ingredients, not synthetic or artificial things we all panic about, yet still we feed our kids with them, to cattle feed which is closer to what cattle should eat than what we feed them, and so on. To utilise this powerful ingredient requires industrial drying and milling, something we do here at Seaweed Enterprises. Sing it loud people - people deserve to be told. Scotland should be at the absolute forefront here.

Have your buffalo wings, save the chicken. Step inside a lab-grown meat factory with us to see the future of food. Lab-grown meat, cultivated meat, cell-based meat, slaughter-free meat: All of these terms refer to the process of creating real meat from animal cells, despite names that may allude to a vegan product. What benefits are there to growing meat from chicken cells rather than raising animals for slaughter? Industrial animal agriculture is responsible for an estimated 15 percent of total global greenhouse gas emissions, and with demand for meat projected to double in the next decade, this technology could offer a more sustainable option. Come with us as we step inside a lab-grown meat facility, and become some of the first to taste-test chicken that was grown in a bioreactor instead of on a factory farm. #sustainability #science #meat #labgrown #bioreactor #emissions https://lnkd.in/dKCNh2Js

The demand for meat is expected to skyrocket in the coming decades, which could take a toll on the environment, human health, and animals if continuously produced in unsustainable ways. #CultivatedMeat can help combat that. Learn how Freethink toured UPSIDE Foods’ pilot facility and learned about the process of developing their cultivated chicken. The cultivated meat space is poised to make a powerful impact in the market as industry advancements, evolving technology, and innovative products pave the way for a sustainable future in food production. https://lnkd.in/eUP9CxkU

Some great features this week for the industry to share, telling the story of how important seaweed is to everyone. With few primary processors able to produce safe, high quality fine powders and flakes here in the UK at scale, creating stability and confidence is the key to maturing this market. We were pleased to see the recent article "Kelp help? How Scotland’s seaweed growers are aiming to revolutionise what we buy" this week in The Guardian by Joanna Moorhead, where our friend Dr Kyla Orr from Kelp Crofters highlights so well the bottleneck we have designed our business around. https://lnkd.in/eWzris_B Meanwhile the Economist Impact picked up on a report published late last year by Eugene Klerk, again underlying the need for industrial players like Seaweed Enterprises to scale, allowing farmers to grow more and off takers to buy premium products, locally. Take a read of the full article here https://lnkd.in/e7HR2vss If anyone is interested in accessing high quality 200micron or 400micron milled seaweed powders or flakes, or would discuss bulk supply needs, please get in touch.

Ever wondered how well your fruit travels once it leaves the farm? Ever felt deprived of information when fruit has been discounted or rejected due to quality issues, even though you knew it was perfect when packed? Do you want to know how to improve your cold chain compliance when supplying domestic or export? West Australian apple growers will soon have these insights thanks to a three-month Pomewest - subcommittee of Agricultural Produce Commission Future Orchards trial funded by Apple and Pear Australia Limited (APAL) that used Escavox technology to measure the performance of supply chains carting apples from pack sheds in WA's south-west into #Perth. Lauren Viney and Bianca-Maree Delkou will present the report's key findings at Upper Capel, WA on March 18, explaining how to achieve greater success with consistent food quality, cost optimisation and waste eradication. More information is available via APAL's Industry Juice and Pomewest's e-newsletters. #apples #fruitquality #livedata #supplychainvisibility Hort Innovation Nardia Stacy Susie Murphy White Cassie Whelan
