Unsettling fact: Most grass-fed beef organ meats go to landfills to rot. Why? Several reasons: #1- White folks like me don't know that those organ meats are the most nutrient-dense parts of the animal, so we don't buy it #2 - Black and brown folks who do know that organ meats are super valuable often don't have access to grass-fed beef for lots of reasons #3 - It's hard for grass-fed meat processors to get the equipment and labor required to prepare these organ meats for sale So what are we going to do about it? We're going to throw a party! If you are a big thinker who loves food, and will be in Colorado this January, come join us! We're bringing together ranchers, meat processors, food entrepreneurs, investors, and scientists to learn about this problem, eat some tasty food prepared by Chef Edwin Sandoval of Xatrucho, and start building some businesses to solve this circular economy problem. Because if we want regenerative ag, we've got to be regenerative consumers! Register here for your ticket: https://lnkd.in/gvHz2zjm Fun Fact: You may be wondering what the largest beef processors do with these organ meats. They have enough economies of scale that they can actually save these meats from landfills by cleaning them and sending them to countries who value them. They've pioneered access to these important meats for a long time. Thanks CSU Spur, Colorado State University, the Meat Summit, the International Livestock Forum, and others for your support of Colorado's ranchers!

Last week we visited our customer birdbros in the UK as part of a trip together with our friends from Experience Data and Experience Fruit Quality. They use their deep knowledge and experience of transforming data into information and better business decisions, to help improving the process of riping, grading, packing and shipping avocados and other stone fruits. We looked at the similarities and differences in grading and packing eggs compared with grading and packing avocados and had great discussions about that with operations and management of our respective customers. Which pallets of ungraded eggs should we run now to fulfill our orders of today in the most effective way? Which pallets of avocados should we run now to make sure we deliver our orders in time whilst making sure the consumer is getting the avocados when they are ready to eat? These – and many other - challenges have a lot in common and we all gained insights which will lead to better solutions and innovation, sooner or later. Another aspect in which our customers are equal is the passion and absolute will to deliver the best product and the desire to constantly keep improving the process. Very motivating for both EFQ and Ovotrack. We are grateful to Marco de Jong from EFQ and to the people at Bird Bros, Mission Produce, Charlston and Mehadrin for their cooperation. Thanks for your openness, transparency and attention! #eggs #avocados #grading #data #information #insights #foodprocess #sharingknowledge #improving #process

The lethal range for bovine livestock is 95° and 80 percent humidity for 6 hours… the average high for #Tulsa, OK from June 2023 through August 2023 was 92° F, and the Oklahoma Mesonet projects up to a 10° F average temperature increase by 2075 (and most likely much sooner). And in 2023 Tulsa reached a high temp of 105° F (123° Heat Index) on 3 separate occasions, with 17 days above 100° F. As the heat averages rise, and producer insurance rates increase as well as costs/scarcity for livestock feed, it is realistic to assume that there will come a day within this current generation where there will be no beef produced in Oklahoma; within 3 generations - maybe less - there will be children born who will never eat a hamburger. This new reality of #Oklahoma and the whole of the South and Southwest will someday see a climate unable to support commercial bovine production. Imagine that. No beef. No horses. No cowboys… The humble burger that may or may not have been invented here in Tulsa, Oklahoma will no longer be physically or commercially viable for its residents to consume. Can you imagine what else will change? #ClimateChange #EconomicShift #FoodSecurity

So we've moved our newsletter / articles & resources to Substack. There are a bunch of technical reasons for it (the biggest being deliverability when we send lots of resource links). Thanks Clinton Kabler for the push! You can read our first Substack here. Just keep in mind this is a resource-heavy issue for winegrowers and wineries (so if you're not that, this won't be an interesting one - no spicy takes). https://lnkd.in/eJHkmeKy

Swedish people like Swedish. But how "Swedish" is the fish, poultry and pork we eat - really? 🍗 In light of the recent government decision to require restaurants to origin-label meat, our very own Christian Sjöland delved deeper into the issue. 🐟 Why is it that we are not taking animal feed origin into account when we label our food's origin? ✨ And is there another way to reduce our dependence on environmentally harmful animal feed such as imported soy and fish meal? 🔍 Read Christian's sustainability insights in full: https://bit.ly/4aas5vy #sustainabilityinsights #sustainability #futurefeed #acttoinspire #inspiretoact

𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲: 𝘀𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 🚜 🌱 Today is the last day of the month, which means that many of our Dutch and Belgian growers have already sown their quinoa. Usually, we aim to sow all the quinoa by the end of April, but due to wet weather conditions, this wasn’t possible this year. Therefore, the remaining growers will sow in the coming days. #cultivation #seeds #quinoa #cultivationseason #cultivationupdate Foodvalley NL StartLife F&A Next Provincie Gelderland Food Delta Zeeland
