Environmental campaigners want the government to pull the plug on a voluntary agribusiness industry partnership because it fails to reduce agricultural emissions. In 2019 the Government announced the sector would have to start paying for emissions from 2025, and the industry was given time to develop a way to measure and price them. It said that if no credible alternative was put forward - agriculture would be put into the Emissions Trading Scheme. He Waka Eke Noa - the Primary Sector Climate Action Partnership has now released two options, but critics say neither will cut emissions. Greenpeace Aotearoa campaigner Christine Rose spoke to Corin Dann.

In this thought-provoking 19-minute podcast episode hosted by Joel Appelbaum, IRMI's chief content officer, Blake Eischeid, Secura's supervisor of risk management, and Neil Wait, Secura's director of farm and agribusiness underwriting, expound on the importance of workers compensation coverage in protecting the farmer's well-being and family livelihood.  The injuries that can happen on a farm can range from minor to significant. Many times, the quest for profits can supersede spending on workers compensation insurance premium. In this podcast, Mr. Eischeid and Mr. Wait explain how vital it is that you, the trusted adviser, review the difference workers compensation protection can make in a possible life-altering situation.  IRMI is proud to have Secura as a Gold Sponsor for the 2022 IRMI Emmett J Vaughan Agribusiness Conference (AgriCon), March 7–8, 2022, in Sacramento, California, and online.  Be sure to check out the other agribusiness resources that IRMI has to offer!

There are an estimated 525 million smallholder farmers globally – producing one third of the world's food. Helping farmers and agribusinesses to be as professional as possible could increase incomes, create resilience to shocks and provide access pathways for smallholder famers to bigger business supply chains. Forming cooperatives can be a successful way to help make this happen. Mark Blackett and Hileena Eshetu, from Agribusiness Market Ecosystem Alliance (AMEA), share insights into what makes up successful cooperatives, where the difficulties are in ensuring their success and sustainability whilst sharing practical ways to scale and support. Mark is AMEA's Network Director whilst Hileena is their Ethiopia Regional Network Facilitator. During this conversation Mark advocates for better collaboration between agribusinesses, finance, NGOs and the public sector – sharing practical examples and advice for successful, sustainable agribusiness. “AMEA exists because the current approaches are very fragmented” explains Hileena. “Bringing everyone together and formulating solutions collectively must be the way forward.” Together they dive into what needs to be in place for smallholder farmers to become climate change resilient and suggest ways for agri-businesses of all sizes to build the fundamentals of climate preparedness.

Achieving something known as net zero – in other words, balancing the amount of greenhouse gas produced by an activity and the amount removed from the atmosphere – is a key focus of leaders in the global livestock industry and among food manufacturers and retailers.

Collectively, these supporters represent approximately 30% of total milk production worldwide.The new climate initiative demonstrates the global dairy sector's commitment to reducing GHG emissions while continuing to produce nutritious foods for six billion people and provide for the livelihoods of one billion people.In a recent edition of Feedstuffs 365, our Sarah Muirhead sat down Donald Moore of the Global Dairy Platform to find out more about achieving net zero. Moore also provided an update on the recent U.N. Food Systems Summit.This podcast was sponsored by Arm & Hammer Animal and Food Production and their #ScienceHearted podcast, “Food Chain Chats.

Leading in the age of DEI is a hot topic in corporate circles these days.  My guest this week has earned her place in those circles as a leader and mentor to those finding their way up the corporate ladder. Including those traditionally left at the bottom.Tell Me What the Team Looks LikeMonica Cole's path to Executive Vice President at Wells Fargo is paved with lessons learned on a college basketball court.  Skills she acquired on the hardwood help set her apart and set her up to lead effectively in the age of DEI.Today at Wells Fargo, Monica leads a team of 230 within Agribusiness, Food and Hospitality.  And would you believe she knew nothing about those sectors when she raised her hand and said "yes?!"That's because, regardless of the challenge, Monica's first shot is always: "Tell me what the team looks like."   Who are the role players?  How do their skills and experiences complement one another?  And how can they help us win?  Whether on the court or in corporate America, Monica knows the more diverse the team, the better the odds of coming out on top.  Leading With VulnerabilityBut as a leader in the age of DEI, Monica also knows there is another key component to success:  leading with vulnerability.During our conversation, she shares deeply personal experiences as a Black woman that helped change her corporate culture, because she was willing to "go there."Because she shared her truth, she helped those in authority look at themselves and their actions from a different perspective.And she routinely urges her team to call her out when "she's nuts!", so that she can be a better leader.There's Enough for All of UsLeading in the age of DEI certainly comes with a set of challenges.   One of the biggest is a common belief that "your success is to my detriment."  But as Monica shares in this episode, and I wholeheartedly agree, there's enough for all of us.  It's way past time for us to embrace the diversity that makes our companies and our lives better.www.ourvoicesmatterpodcast.comwww.lorellemedia.comThis podcast is devoted to empowering us all to better understand each other's differences...one story at a time.  Emmy Award-winning journalist, Linda Lorelle, guides guests through insightful, unexpected conversations that reveal our common humanity.  This show is not about politics per se; it is about finding a way to reclaim civility in the context of the contentious times in which we live, by sharing our personal and professional stories, in hopes that others might find a glimpse of themselves.Support the show (http://patreon.com/OurVoicesMatterPodcast)

The Monsanto Company officially ceased to exist when it was acquired by Bayer in 2018, but its legacy lives on in courtrooms, factory towns and farms across the globe. Today the company's name is most associated with the herbicide Roundup and genetically modified seeds, but Monsanto also served as a leading producer of Agent Orange during the Vietnam War, an essential supplier of caffeine and saccharin to Coca-Cola in Coke's early years, and the sole US producer of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs). In short, Monsanto's history is one that will continue to shape the US well into the future. In this episode, Bart Elmore joins Bob and Ben to talk about his new book Seed Money: Monsanto's Past and Our Future (W.W. Norton, 2021), and how a small midwestern company founded in 1901 became an agricultural powerhouse by selling solutions to the problems it helped to create. Dr. Bartow Elmore is Associate Professor of History at The Ohio State University where he specializes in Global Environmental History and the History of Capitalism. He is also the author of the award-winning book Citizen Coke: The Making of Coca-Cola Capitalism (W. W. Norton, 2015). You can follow him on twitter at @BartElmore and find out more about his work at his website, BartElmore.com. You can hear Bart's first appearance on The Road To Now in episode #140:  Citizen Coke: The History of Coca-Cola w/ Bartow Elmore. This episode was edited by Gary Fletcher.
