Today @FortuneMagazine published my Oped talking about how the federal government can help support ag innovation, growth & leadership similarly to how we've enabled so much advancement in renewable energy, EV's and other critical areas of our economy 🧵

When people ask why I'm optimistic about the future in what feels like a continuous onslaught of challenges, it's because of the incredible innovation that's happening in so many areas of our economy. Agriculture is a critical part of this
Good thread that's worth a read from @YQuint about the pieces that came out today on the plant-based meat industry. Yossi is well positioned to understand the challenges as well as the opportunities facing this category given his current work as well as his prior life.
Plant-based meat is struggling (see @deenashanker Bloomberg piece or @shannonosaka WashPo piece, both published today). A lot of the convo has been around PB being overly processed or not healthy. Price and taste get airtime but are the side-dish. I disagree. 🧵
I'm thrilled to see this type of innovation. Palm Oil is devastating on so many levels and it's ubiquitous in our everyday products. We must find a better way. Cheering for @C16Bio !

Looking forward to speaking @Groceryshop tomorrow. Come say hello if you're here!
Our CEO and Founder @ifain will be @groceryshop TOMORROW for a fireside chat with Retail and Consumer Expert Siobhán Géhin on Bowery's sustainability mission #groceryshop2022
Enjoyed my conversation with James Vincent on the Most Innovative Co's podcast from @FastCompany. James shares a passion for relentless creation & innovation around what we're building @BoweryFarming & why it's so urgent that we transform our food system

The compounding impacts of climate change continue to present concerning and urgent new second and third order problems. Europe's river systems are critical infrastructure for energy, food, and broader transportation across the region.

“I believe we need a very big ecosystem to feed the world.”
Here’s why @WCKitchen founder @chefjoseandres is teaming up with @BoweryFarming, the largest vertical indoor farming company in the US. More via @BW: trib.al/Wggfa2m
"When compared to green cement, plant-based alternatives reduced greenhouse gas emissions by three times. Compared to green buildings, it’s seven times, and when it comes to emissions-free cars, like the ever-present Tesla—the number jumps to 11 times the reduction in emissions."
This is a quick synopsis of the BCG report on the opportunity in alternative proteins. We are just seeing the beginning of where this industry is going...

Cell-based agriculture is going to be a critically important piece of our food system in the future & equally an enormous industry and opportunity. @BCG released a report this week showing that investment into alternative proteins delivers the biggest emission cuts of all sectors
This is one of the many reasons why I'm so excited about the work that @eatscifi is doing and the progress that they're making to bring cell-based meat from the lab into production. They recently achieved another big milestone on this journey

“We’re reimagining farming. But what we’re really doing is reimagining the whole supply chain..." - @ifain, in an interview with @FinancialTimes ft.com/content/4263fbe2-db0e…
We’re very lucky to have friends and supporters like @chefjoseandres helping us build the future food system and supply chain that we need
I believe we need a very big ecosystem to feed the world, and my friends @BoweryFarming are doing incredible work to help build that future...
Looking forward to talking about the challenges to the global food system and @BoweryFarming and CEA's role in the solution @WSJ Global Food Forum with @jessenewman13 and @JonathanWebbKY this morning

Had a great time @CollisionHQ today talking about the necessity for transition in our food & agriculture system alongside @hanstung
"Matching the supply and demand of food on a national level is not easy. Trying to do this locally may be the key to solving this. This is why we believe in @BoweryFarming." @hanstung + @ifain onstage at #CollisionConf!
The path to solving agriculture's impact on climate change requires many paths & solutions which is why I'm thrilled about @eatscifi & @joshuamarch coming out of stealth & announcing their Series A led by @a16z. Proud to be involved!
