Are you a last-minute shopper or a get-it-done-in-November person? I discovered this list of interesting stocking ideas that offer sustainable and creative ways to gift this year. The picture contains seedballs that grow plants to attract pollinators, wildlife and insects like bees, hedgehogs, bats, beetles and butterflies. Here’s the list - https://lnkd.in/eBhFBvCv Have any sustainable gift ideas for this year? Drop them in the comments for me. #Innovation #eCommerce #Packaging

Wow. And I always thought eggs were oval. The "lower price premium than comparable pasture-raised products" of Kipster eggs is simply because they cost less per egg to produce. They also have less net societal benefits, including taste, than do the pastured-raised ones. I'd go further to posit that Kipster eggs have a higher profit margin than do the pasture-raised eggs. And I agree, Theresa Lieb -- the carbon neutral claim is a simple lie rebranded to the masses as "Simple Truth" by Kroger. Will Kroger or Kipster tell us how their product differs from another ESG report filler product currently featured at eye level in Kroger stores, Vital Farms eggs? Give customers a full cost accounting of the two? "High-welfare?" really? What does that mean? Good? Better? Best? I get Kispter's objective to meet industrial agriculture at the right of middle. It's the "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" rationale. It's the hard-headed realist argument. But let's be clear about tradeoffs. Even the Founder of Kispter would - if he had his druthers - prefer pasture-raised eggs. But let's not turn and sell the less than but better than as the BEST. Given me some simple truth in advertising Kroger! You representing Cincinnati! Cone on, now. I recall you saying it's all about "cost mandates" but don't forget the market externalities in your P and L accounting.

𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰-𝟮𝟬𝟯𝟭. 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 Over the past few years, the wild bird feed market has seen consistent growth, driven by the rising popularity of bird feeding as a hobby and increased awareness of its importance. Consumers now prioritize the quality of bird feed, resulting in a surge in demand for premium and specialized products tailored to different bird species. The influence of e-commerce has reshaped the market dynamics, with more buyers opting for online purchases due to convenience, diverse product options, and competitive pricing. While major players dominate with established brands, smaller regional entities cater to niche markets. Sustainability concerns have given rise to a demand for eco-friendly bird feed options, emphasizing responsibly sourced ingredients and recyclable packaging. Although the wild bird feed market is well-established in North America and Europe, significant growth opportunities exist in emerging regions like Asia-Pacific and Latin America, fueled by urbanization and increasing interest in bird watching. However, seasonal demand fluctuations, price sensitivity, and competition from homemade alternatives present challenges that companies must navigate for sustained competitiveness.

🌱🎶 Weed Pop Music to My Ears 🌱🎶...I promise "Weed Pop" is not what you may think it is 🤣 ... Ever experienced the joy of turning totally barren, arid dirt into fertile, thriving soil? It's like music to the ears of every farmer and soil enthusiast out there when you pull the weeds out of soil you've made healthy, and POP! The weeds come out clean, the whole roots intact, the soil looks and smells beautiful, and it's just a plain ol' heavenly sound to a dirt nerd like me 🤓 🎵🌱 At Creekside Copywriting, we're on a mission to educate and fill gaps in the narrative re: how important soil health is for us, our children, and our children's children. And let me tell you, I know from experience that it only takes a little compost, a little 💩 , letting nature take over for a little bit, then just a little effort spent on mixing all the goodness together. The results on the Walker homestead have been nothing short of miraculous. 🌟 Picture this my fellow #farmers: once-desolate land, cracked and dry, malnourished, and torn year-after-year to shreds...now transformed into a vibrant ecosystem teeming with life. Is what we did on a small scale achievable on a commercial scale? Yeah dude, the weed pop music is like totally possible for you too, man! 😎 There are companies out there right now innovating soil health tools and practices that promote sustainability and yield optimization. 💡 Contact Creekside Copywriting and learn more about how we're applying the power of words to our mission to market and cultivate a healthier 🌎 for healthier people, one acre at a time.

The second day of the Blue Food Innovation Summit has begun with a renewed focus on collaboration, although with a slightly different twist. A session on scaling the shift to a restorative ocean economy - featuring The Earthshot Prize, SeaForester, Sea Ranger Service and Nestle Purina PetCare - was looking mostly at sea kelp and seagrass restoration projects, but the message about big corporations needing to play a supporting role could be applied to animal welfare issues too. The panellists found that small projects need the support of big business in order to scale up into proper ecosystems that produce meaningful results faster. This can lead to the development of solutions and models that can be replicated by others, with a collective effort. The session concluded with advice to corporates to take a look at their wider supply chain, see what impact they are having on the resource that fuels their business and take responsibility for protecting it for the future. #bluefoodsummit #oceans #innovations
