This is such an amazing initiative. I keep getting invites to talk about the challenges of sustainable food chains with like minded professionals. Whilst they have value, the most value comes from talking to and engaging with those with power to change our system like Andrew and the farmers that fuel the food system. Not only do they need more airtime at events but the boardrooms need to don wellies and see what feeds their businesses and our bellies. Well done Future Food Movement for getting those important voices heard. #changemanagement #supplychain #farmers #sustainablefoodsystems #sustainability #esg

A lot of talk about the Farm Bill right now - for a fresh perspective from American farmers (including myself), watch this short video put out by Nicole Shanahan and her team. Let us know what you think.... https://lnkd.in/grSJMg9G

Last year America imported more food than it exported. What happens to America's food supply when our farms are gone? In Washington State alone, 14 farms are forced to close each week. Forced? Yes. When farms can’t profit, they can’t sustainably produce our food. There are a number of reasons farms have no other choice but to close. April Clayton calls it “death by a thousand cuts.” Watch April’s full interview and then head to https://lnkd.in/gNvHSnKc and sign up for our newsletter. We need our lawmakers to intervene and change the future of farming. We need your help getting their attention. #farming #losingthefarm #foodcrisis https://lnkd.in/g3qhEvF9

Farmed cod on path to 70,000t but no replacement to wild catch shortfall Although interest in farmed cod is blossoming as Barents Sea wild-catch quotas will hit their lowest point of the 21st century, it is still early days in a sector chasing profitability, stressed Norcod CEO Christian Riber in a recent interview with Undercurrent News at last month's Groundfish Forum. "We don't want to be a substitute; we're a product on our own," he said. "Of course, if some retailers and others choose to use it as a substitute, that's their choice, but we're after a different price point -- we're an aquaculture product that's more comparable to salmon."

Will planning regulations be simplified or relaxed around micro-abattoirs, in response to advocacy from Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance (AFSA) and its president Tammi Jonas? The AFSA’s advocacy around planning barriers to small-scale meat producers is detailed in Andrew Miller’s recent piece in Stock & Land. The demands on peri-urban land are certainly complex, with plenty of competing priorities always on the table: food, housing, amenity, environment. . . But it’s so important that our planning systems enable food production in these areas, especially where the land is of high agricultural value. Advocates argue that on farm, small-scale meat processing is a logical, ancillary activity to food production for local communities, and low risk in terms of amenity and environment. #foodsecurity #urbanplanning #theruralplanner

This is such an important campaign, both for those who own and run farms and those who wander through. Think about your Farm Safety and reach out to Farm Safety Foundation (Yellow Wellies) if you need any tips, advise or training pointers. #FarmSafetyWeek #Take5StayAlive

Your input will help us shed light on the following questions: - What are livestock producers prioritizing and preparing for in the coming year? - How is tech adoption continuing to evolve in the livestock industry? - How are livestock producers informing the conversation around land stewardship, sustainability, and corporate climate goals in 2024? Not a farmer or rancher, but know one? Make sure to share this survey link; the more voices we can reflect, the better! #aginnovation #ranching #livestockfarming
