Our CEO, Antje Eckel, recently joined the Expert Stage at EuroTier to discuss “Knowledge keeps growing – How do we tackle the skills shortage?” 🔑 Her key insights: ✅ Openness to continuous learning is a must for graduates entering the workforce. ✅ Embracing diversity is not just enriching – it’s a competitive edge: “Colleagues from 15 different countries? That’s what makes this exciting!” We believe in nurturing talent and creating a global 🌍, collaborative workplace that’s ready for the future. 🎉 #Career #AnimalNutrition #Expertise #CEOInsights #DiversityMatters

Ok LinkedIn, let’s get real. I attend a looot of food industry events, most promising ‘never-before-seen insights into the future of food!!!’. Sounds exciting, right? Well, while many are well-organised with great speakers, I often find that much of the “future of food” talk is, well, not that new. You know the drill: swapping chicken for chickpeas, insects as protein, compostable packaging... Sure, these are interesting ideas, but how many will actually stick? Which will become reality, and which will just stay ideas? When tasked with producing the programme for this year’s #FutureofNutritionSummit at Food ingredients Europe, these questions were top of mind for me. How can we focus on solutions that will *truly* transform the food system? Who are the people making these innovations a reality? And more importantly, HOW?? After months of research, endless calls, and one massive spreadsheet, I’m super excited to finally share this year’s Summit agenda (with more exciting announcements on the way!). Here’s a sneak peek: 🥗 Food as Medicine I used to roll my eyes at the idea—until I realised my carb and sugar addictions weren’t exactly doing me any favours ... Now, I’m all in, fascinated by how experts like Marianne O'Shea, Dr. Susan Kleiner, Nard Clabbers are turning food into powerful tools for health and longevity 🤖 AI & Food I let AI pick a dinner party recipe once… let's just say it didn’t hit the mark. But AI is transforming food innovation in incredible ways—from personalising products to revolutionising farming. Curious about what's next? Dr. Nora K., Justin Honaman, Mariette Abrahams PhD MBA, Matias Muchnick and more will give us the lowdown 🌱 Sustainable Solutions After my failed attempt at growing a tomato plant recently, I have HUGE respect for those tackling the global food challenge. The Summit will spotlight the smartest minds finding ways to sustainably feed 10 billion people by 2050, such as Nicolas Bordenave and Samantha Garwin I could go on, but I’d rather see you there so you can hear it for yourself. It’s going to be a day packed with insights, inspiration, and maybe even a few career-changing lightbulb moments, if you're lucky! 🎟️ Don’t miss out—grab your ticket now before they sell out: https://lnkd.in/eXJNMEgu #FutureOfNutrition #FoodAsMedicine #AIandFood #Sustainability #Foodandbeverage #FoodInnovation

What an inspiring two days at the Food ingredients Europe fair in Frankfurt! 🌍✨ This event, renowned for connecting the brightest minds in the food industry, proved to be a transformative experience for the BettaF!sh team. 👥 Team in Action: Thorsten Behnk, Leonie Wagner, Pau Martí Garriga, and Miriam Gößmann dove headfirst into the action, meeting ingredient companies, research institutes, and distributors. From forging valuable new connections with research and scale-up companies 🧫 to reinforcing relationships with our existing partners, the networking opportunities were unparalleled. 🚀 We’re thrilled about the promising ways these collaborations could shape the future of sustainable food innovation. 🎤 Star Moment: The absolute cherry on top—Leonie Wagner delivered a fantastic pitch at the Innovation Hub on "How Innovation and Collaboration Can Build a Better Food System". She totally rocked the stage, sparking conversations and inspiring the audience with our vision for a sustainable ocean economy. 🌟💖 🌿 Seaweed’s Role in the Future of Food: Events like FIE remind us of the untapped potential of seaweed to revolutionize the food industry. While some innovative companies have already introduced fantastic seaweed-based ingredients, many opportunities remain to further integrate this versatile and sustainable resource into food products. Events like FIE reaffirm why collaboration is key in revolutionizing the food system. Here's to pushing boundaries, embracing innovation, and creating a better future for food. 🌱 Laura Elphick Food ingredients Europe #FIConference #Innovation #Collaboration #Sustainability #Seaweed #BettaFish

【🎉WSA awards ceremony🎉】 Now #OSINTech is attending the WSA awards ceremony held in Patagonia Chile🇨🇱 In this ceremony, we receive the award from WSA, that we won as an only company from Japan this year. We are passionate about making pitches, listening to presentations by great people and participating in networking at #WSAGlobalCongress 🙌 Through this stay in Patagonia, we hope to accelerate the internationalization of our #RuleWatcher🚀 【The reason why RuleWatcher won the award by WSA👇】 "Using AI, #RuleWatcher continuously retrieves/crawls articles related to the environmental and social issues it targets from over 1,300 information sources selected manually. These articles are accumulated in a database, categorized, and then machine-translated before being posted on a single-language web page. As a result, #RuleWatcher lets all stakeholders read international information (law drafts, minutes, press releases, research journals, policy recommendations, etc.) from the primary sources (of international organizations, national assemblies, governments, supreme courts, research Institutes, NGOs, etc.) on articles pages, examine global trends on visualized analysis pages and discuss on them in community pages. They are aware of international trends, thus they can react nationally and internationally at the right time." #WorldSummitAwards #UNWSIS #ICT

Thanks to everyone that came to last week's online speakers corner to carry on the conversations started at the Natoora. We had rich discussions about the role of food #retail, food justice, and #foodsovereignty! Big thank you to Luke Crisp for leading and curating the session, bringing in his experiences from FareShare UK and interests in alternative ways of organising society and #food cultures. Thank you to Giacomo Ranalli for reflections from the London event with Natoora, Hodmedod's British Pulses, Grains & Seeds, and Waitrose & Partners, and to Mitch Green as always for organising. 🏙 We have to work with retailers, supermarkets, as they are a powerful part of the supply chain. However, we must create space for alternatives: #farmersmarkets, direct sales, CSAs, online stores, territorial markets, connecting with growers. 📢 There is ever more consumer demand for communication and #transparency across the supply chain. Large-scale, global retails separates us from understanding food #production and the reality of #farming. There is an opportunity for #education about the source and real labor and love behind the food we eat. 👩🌾 The main challenge is the commodification of food. If we can step behind the convenience mindset and de-commodify food, we can feel more connected to food again and support #farmers with a dignified income through premiums for social and ecological #resilience. ♻ We have many levers of change to pull. #Foodjustice is intersectional with diverse environmental and social aspects that all have to come together for #foodsystem #transformation. #Foodsovereignty is also a global and interconnected movement with diverse meanings in different contexts. These conversations bring consciousness into everyday decision-making (e.g., in the supermarket aisle) to implement small-incremental #changes. As it is changing practices that changes mindsets. This forum gives us all the safe space to speak our minds and gather confidence for when it really matters. 💪🧡 We can’t wait for Speakers’ Corner live at our #EmergentGeneration Summer Gathering in September! 👆✨💚 Join us: https://lnkd.in/eqBfZJrY #youthempowerment #youth #youthvoice #youthaction #emergentgeneration

Across all our offices globally, we've turned planting seeds into a fun team-building activity, symbolizing the growth we are fostering together. Atollians fellows from around the world got their hands dirty, planting seed balls we had to get rid of as they were GSG branded, as a reminder of the fresh start we’re all embarking on. Now, we’re watching these seeds sprout—just like our new projects, ideas, and collaborations. 🌿 We’re not just growing plants—we’re 𝗻𝘂𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁, driving more cross-team collaboration, and putting people at the center of everything we do.

20 years is certainly a long time running for any conservation project. I believe SASSI was well ahead of its time when we launched it back in 2004, especially in a developing country context. Has it been successful? As always these things are hard to measure. Certainly it has created awareness about a critical issue. But awareness is but one piece of the sustainable seafood puzzle. We need other mechanisms such as reputable #ecolabels. We need grassroots social enterprises (e.g. #abalobi) that can empower fishers. We need practical yet robust improver programs. And we need better governance and resource stewardship. This is and has always been a collective effort. Some key questions to ask in the next decade: 1) has the awareness led to actions on the ground? 2) are we able to enthuse the next generation? 3) does #taylorswift eat sustainable seafood? Keep up the good work! https://lnkd.in/eaWG6n5z

Great day today with meetings in County Durham and Northumberland. I love being on the road and talking about the work we are trying to do at Food and Drink North East and why building our membership base is critical to keeping us purpose-led, agile and independent. It can be tough work without top-level funding or support but there's nothing that inspires me more than talking about the opportunity we have to become a quality, food-producing area with an international reputation as an authentic #northeast region of gastronomy and hospitality. I've met with both the excellent North East Autism Society and Ad Gefrin The English Whisky Guild today and we talked about food, farming, skills, inclusivity, pigs, apples, English whisky, regional ambitions, heritage, history and provenance. Just my cup of tea. Talking to organisations with big plans and visions that challenge the status quo. It's been 6 years since my unforgettable academic trip to Northern Italy. Blessed - we got to spend some real time with Consorzio del formaggio Parmigiano Reggiano 🧀 cooperatives as well as small-scale balsamic producers in Modena. Learning and unravelling what makes Italy so special when it comes to farming, food and tradition. I still genuinely believe that the North East could be the Emilia Romagna of the UK. The key ingredients are all there. We just need the vision, belief and political will to see it as a reality and bake it into our long term future as a region. From circular economy to entrepreneurship, climate to public health - food and drink is, by some distance and, from a holistic perspective, the most important sector to our region, and it must take its place in a transformational industrial strategy. FADNE can help make that happen, we just need to be heard by the right people and given the right support. #northeast #foodanddrink #food #farming #foodheritage #history #foodculture #gastronomy #industrialstrategy Ian Pilkington Kevin Meikle Christopher Ferguson Morag Garden Jordan Rutherford Kim McGuinness Nick Kemp Henry Kippin
