American agriculture (I'm only speaking to what I know personally. This comment is not any kind of indictment on global food production) is great at what we do best. Raise high quality, safe, low cost food. So why does society have such a great fear of what happens in the production their food? Do they even know what goes into food production? Who's telling them? The mainstream media, who doesn't know any more about food production than they do. In the latest Vision Tech Perspectives, we talk about how agriculture needs to speak with one voice to our customers about their food and the great people who grow their food. #VisionTechPerspectives https://lnkd.in/gDREGJE2

Our current food system is failing millions globally, and food systems remain the primary transgressors of planetary boundaries. As a major industry, food and agriculture companies must be accountable for positive contributions to healthy, sustainable, and inclusive food systems. Last year, we assessed the performance of the 350 most influential food and agriculture companies on their environmental, nutritional, and social impact, and overall contributions to transforming our global food system. Overall, the results show that company performance is severely lagging behind the level of action required to transform global food systems. However, there are promising signs that substantial progress is possible. This insights report delves into our key findings in more detail and provides insights into the results and trends of the companies assessed.

Does the market really require a variety of artificial flavours in order to commercialise natural, tender coconut water? Isn't it good to be greedy in order to invent more food products than lacking in better innovation? It's not a conscience of a normal consumer head to the local supermarket. it's about the conscience of food technologist who head to the same local supermarket. Coming from an Agricultural University where I studied the science of food crops, soil, insects (pest) which affect the food crop cultivation and spraying pesticides for crop safety to an academic background in food technology learned about the food processing and preservation, right now, dealing with the red flags of the earth called pesticide residues in food within the permissible limit for consumption , the life I have chosen has really given me the different perspective check on better food quality and safety. And my curiousity is fuelled everyday!!! #foodtechnology #foodproductdevelpment #foodsafety #foodquality #curiousity
