We know the current role of certifications is not working when the outcome is 1 in 5 women working in ‘sustainably certified’ sugar cane fields is coerced into getting a hysterectomy to enable them to work harder and become increasingly indebted to their employers. The human rights violations listed in the New York Times article linked below are atrocious and inexcusable. Yet if we can look at these terrible situations, move beyond our pain, anger, and shame to get curious about how we ended up here it tells us something very profound about our food standards and certifications. We need to regenerate the role of certifications in our food system. When we stop to think about ʻrulesʻ and how we have reacted to them since childhood it becomes a whole lot clearer why certifications at large have been ineffective at delivering transparency, truth, and a food system that nourishes all life. Certifying bodies today are put in a hard position; limited resources, messy supply chains, backwards incentive structures, and overtaxed producers are just some of the pieces that make this job difficult. This is why reNourish has developed a community of practice that brings together people at all points of the supply chain (not just certifiers) to work on regenerating how we approach certifications and standards and evolve our system so that our legacy is so much more beautiful that what is shown in this article. If you are tired of constantly feeling the pressure of a broken system and your businesses inability to solve all of it or even work within it.

EU Dairy Sector Faces Challenges Amidst Declining Production EU Dairy Sector Faces Challenges Amidst Declining Production The European Union dairy sector is facing a challenging outlook in 2025. Milk production is expected to decline marginally, driven by factors such as declining cow numbers, tight farmer margins, environmental regulations, and disease outbreaks. This decrease will likely result in lower factory use consumption and require dairy processors to carefully allocate available milk. https://lnkd.in/dtn2qjWY

According to "Dairy Global", milk production in the EU is projected to decrease from 149.3 million metric tons (MMT) in 2023 to 148.9 MMT (2024) due to policies requiring a reduction in cow numbers. The question is, does Europe need to reduce its herd number? To stay within the 1.5 C limit, an 11–30% reduction in CH4 emissions is targeted by 2030, with a 24–47% reduction by 2050. The 2030 target is within reach of European farmers just by adopting the most effective mitigation strategy (Ref). Furthermore, as opposed to the case in developing countries, improved animal productivity, health, and welfare in Europe have led to lower emissions. Ref: https://lnkd.in/gZs43p8K
EU milk production in 2024 is forecast to fall from 149.3 million metric tonnes (mmt) in 2023 to 148.9 mmt, as policies influence the decline in cow numbers and milk production. More on EU policies at Dairy Global: https://lnkd.in/e9c9RzJp

Electroculture offers a method that reduces reliance on chemical pesticides and fertilizers, leading to crops with lower chemical residues. This is of paramount importance in addressing concerns related to food safety and environmental impact. Crops With fewer chemical residues are not only safer for consumption but also more environmentally friendly. Consumers are becoming increasingly conscious of the chemicals used in food production, and the demand for pesticide-free or low-residue produce is on the rise. Electroculture aligns with this trend by offering a method that can produce crops with fewer chemical inputs.

The production of milk is a fundamental part of the global agricultural and food industry. It provides billions of people with essential nutrients every day and contributes significantly to the economic stability of many countries. Milk production is a complex and carefully controlled process, from dairy cows to the finished product. In our Facts & Figures series today, we provide you with exciting figures on global milk production: 🍶 According to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, around 550 billion tons of cow's milk were produced worldwide in 2023. The current forecast for 2024 is 552 billion tons. 🏭 The leading producers of cow's milk are the EU (145 billion tons), the USA (103 billion) and India (99 billion). China (41.5 billion) follows at a considerable distance. 📈Rising demand needs to be met: Per capita consumption of milk was around 120 kilograms in 2023. In comparison: in 2016 it was 107. 🐄 Incidentally, Germany has the most dairy cows in Europe: around 3.8 million, followed by France (3.2 million) and Poland (2 million). We at #KEBO support the processes in milk production with our specialty chemicals. Our corrosion inhibitors for boiler water, cleaning additives and defoamers ensure smooth processes.

Good morning! I am writing as a concerned citizen and because I would love to partner with a big firm who can take on these cases that involve false claims and mass torts and big names. I have other info and I love research and writing. I also love animals! And I want more attention brought to the dangers of petroleum products, especially when so many claim they want to get rid of oil. Many already know petroleum is carcinogenic and I believe banned in Europe. The Net Zero movement is a joke with so many petroleum-based products in pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Big Oil, Big Pharma, and Big Beauty are in bed together to use these cheap carcinogenic materials in their products. 1. Appel Apeel is NOT organic and sued be sued in themselves. The fact that it can't be washed off indicates there is going to be a rise in colon cancers and colostomies. The fact the FDA calls Appel a pesticide is enough evidence in itself. https://lnkd.in/etrhBUT6 Also, I don't see any studies show this product is safe in the short-term nor long-term. Frankly, I would not touch any product containing this with my bare hands if Appel admits it cannot be washed off. IMHO, Appel is a collaboration with greedy stores to keep rotten food on the shelf longer to make money off hurting customers. They are apparently not intelligent enough to know they are also hurting their own employees in doing this. 2. Whole Foods Whole Foods will not admit nor deny whether or not they use it, and the fact they are admitting they use the carcinogenic items they do, is concerning. https://lnkd.in/eyjQvPEw Beeswax and shellac are not vegan. Shellac is the same stuff used in nail polish and paint and I doubt it's good for you. And see above comment re petroleum. Those viral videos of the "plastic" fruit making noises don't seem so fake and crazy anymore, do they...I thought it was a hoax at first too, but now I wonder...

📊 Challenges Mount in China’s Dairy Sector Amid Raw Milk Oversupply 📊 The ongoing oversupply of raw milk in China has led to a crisis for dairy farms, with prices dropping below 1 yuan/kg and many farms now at risk of financial instability. The expansion of dairy production in recent years has left farms struggling to find balance amidst decreasing demand. The financial strain has led to widespread milk dumping and cattle culling, sparking serious concerns about the future of China’s dairy market. Key experts suggest reducing dairy herds and boosting milk powder consumption as steps toward stabilizing the market. With government policies aiming to provide relief, a full recovery may take time, likely into 2025. 👉Follow the link to read the full article https://lnkd.in/gTby7cQG
