The right to food is a fundamental human right that ensures everyone has access to safe, nutritious, and high-quality food. This right brings several important benefits to individuals and communities: 1. **Improved Health**: Access to proper nutrition is essential for preventing malnutrition and associated health problems, leading to better health outcomes for all. 2. **Economic Advancement**: When people have reliable access to food, they can concentrate on their education and jobs, which contributes to building better lives and fosters economic growth. 3. **Social Equity**: Food security is crucial for reducing disparities and empowering marginalized groups, promoting a more inclusive society. 4. **Environmental Protection**: Emphasizing sustainable agricultural practices, along with modern technologies like the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, helps safeguard the environment and ensures food availability for future generations. 5. **Cultural Heritage**: Strengthening local food systems supports the preservation of cultural traditions, beliefs, and identities related to food. Promoting the right to food means addressing critical issues such as poverty, inequality, and climate change, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive. #LeaveNoOneBehind #ZeroHunger #NoPoverty #ClimateChange

On the occasion of the World Food Day, let us take a moment to recognize the monumental effort it takes to produce the food we eat. That and ensuring it finds its way to our table. The food industry has a direct impact on the environment and the inclusion of sustainable food practices should be a priority for the global food industry. Food security will evolve as a key concern in the upcoming years, so lets try our best to reduce food wastage and promote sustainability in our everyday habits.

  On #WorldFoodDay 2024, we embrace this year's theme "Right to foods for a better life and a better future", in support of the world's poorest rural areas. Climate change disproportionately affects the yields and productivity of the world's smaller farmers, who produce about a third of the food globally. Institutions and all actors in the supply chain must do their part for fairer agriculture and healthy and sufficient food for all. #WorldFoodDay #RightToFood #TrustInAgroscience

Don’t get me wrong, we love olive oil, but sometimes, you have to let someone else take center stage. Most of us are familiar with wine, coffee, and chocolate tastings, but have you ever heard of a bread tasting? We certainly had not, but we were intrigued. Our latest article dives back into the work of Comunita Grano Alto and their recent gathering, #fornifornaie2024. So, the question is: when you savor your next slice of bread, what flavors come to mind? Share your thoughts and reflections in the comments below!

One of my favorite things to do (working in Supplier Diversity in Corporate America, specifically for a CPG company) is to inform customers about the "brands behind the brand." And do I have a great one for you today....you might just "flip" over it. 😉 Chobani has recently launched 8 new Halloween, Limited Edition Chobani® Flip® yogurt four-packs. One of the suppliers that brought this "spooky" promotion to life is Lobo.cx.
