In dieser Folge trifft Ricarda auf eine Frau, die geerbt hat – und dann lieber rückverteilen lässt. Marlene Engelhorn ist 33, Aktivistin, Mitgründerin von #taxmenow – und eine der lautesten Stimmen in der Debatte um Vermögensverteilung.Ihr Erbe stammt aus der milliardenschweren Engelhorn-Dynastie, mit familiären Verbindungen zu Konzernen wie BASF und Boehringer Mannheim. Statt sich damit zurückzulehnen, hat Marlene 90 Prozent ihres Erbes rückverteilen lassen – über einen Bürgerrat, den sie selbst ins Leben gerufen hat. Ganz nach dem Motto: „Ich hab das nicht verdient. Aber vielleicht kann jemand anders was Gutes draus machen.“Ricarda spricht mit ihr über Geld, Gerechtigkeit, queeres Engagement, Familienpowerdynamiken, mediale Projektionen und die Frage: Was macht man eigentlich, wenn man alles hat – aber lieber die Welt ein bisschen gerechter hätte?

Der DAX steigt am Montag um 1,1 % auf 23.335 Punkte - schließt nur knapp unter dem Rekordhoch vom März. Kurz vor neuen Rekorden dreht der DAX um. Das Scheitern von CDU-Chef Friedrich Merz im ersten Durchgang der Kanzlerwahl hat für ein klares Absacken des DAX gesorgt. Der deutsche Leitindex fiel sehr schnell um 1 % auf 23.114 Punkte. Eine Stunde später fiel er sogar um 2 %. "Die enge Verbindung zwischen Politik und Wirtschaft kann die Marktbewegungen in Deutschland stark beeinflussen, was oft unterschätzt wird. Die Gefahr eines zerfallenden Europas ist groß, vor allem in Anbetracht der geopolitischen Einflüsse von Russland und den USA." - Berkshire Hathaway - eine beeindruckende Zahl: 19,9 % per annum, seit 1964 - was jetzt von der Jahrhundert-Aktie zu erwarten ist?

China is said to be conducting an assessment on US trade negotiations and urged the US to demonstrate sincerity for trade talks, while it urged the US to correct mistakes regarding tariffs and noted it is currently evaluating possible US trade talks.US Secretary of State Rubio said the Chinese want to meet and talk, while he added those talks will come up soon and there's a broader question about how much we should buy from China going forwardJapanese Finance Minister Kato said Japan's huge US Treasury holdings are among the tools it can wield in trade negotiations with the US but added that whether Japan wields that card is a different question.EU negotiator Sefcovic said Europe is ready to make US President Trump a EUR 50bln offer, in which Brussels wants to increase purchases of US goods by EUR 50bln to address the “problem” in the trade relationship, while he said the bloc is making “certain progress” towards striking a deal.US equity futures were initially pressured after Apple (-3.8% after market) and Amazon's (-3.2% after market) earnings reports but later rebounded on hopes of US-China trade talks, while participants now await the latest NFP jobs data; APAC stocks traded mostly higher.European equity futures indicate a higher cash market open with Euro Stoxx 50 futures up 1.3% after the cash market closed flat on Wednesday.Looking ahead, highlights include EZ Manufacturing PMI (Final) & HICP, US NFP & Durable Goods, Earnings from Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Apollo, Brookfield, ING & BASF.Click for the Newsquawk Week Ahead.Read the full report covering Equities, Forex, Fixed Income, Commodites and more on Newsquawk

Methylene Blue is the newest craze sweeping the both the MAHA movement and alternative media/conspiracy land. While MAHA moves to ban food dyes, an overall good decision that lags decades behind the rest of civilization, it simultaneously has adopted this peculiar dye as an energy booster and magic potion. Developed as a textile dye in 1876 by German chemist Heinrich Caro, BASF is its parent chemical company. In simple terms, the same movement banning dyes while drinking dye is the same movement opposing chemical companies while demanding more methylene blue from chemical companies. There is a close parallel here to the - understandably - anti-Prizer-vaccine movement which simultaneously adopted ivermectin - manufactured by Pfizer. Yes, Methylene Blue has certain medicinal properties outside of its textile or laboratory use, first and foremost as a sort of antidote for methemoglobinemia - it can help restore the oxygen carrying capacity of red blood cells. But this is upon specific administration and a specific dose. Too much can actually cause methemoglobinemia. Yes, it can boost energy, but so can cocaine and energy drinks. Yes, it may make you feel different, but how much of that is placebo?*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Wie durft er nog vooruit te kijken in deze tijden van volatiliteit? De experts in BeursTalk doen een poging en komen, wellicht verrassend, tot een geruststellende conclusie. "Begin april, na 'Liberation Day', had ik niet durven voorspellen dat de Nasdaq april positief zou afsluiten", zegt Reinder Wietsma, portfolio manager bij het Centive Global Equity Fund. Hij ziet natuurlijk ook dat april een bizarre beursmaand was. Maar het sentiment is per saldo, zeker op deelsectoren, sterk. Ook Richard de Jong ziet dat het sentiment rustiger is geworden. "De VIX, die de volatiliteit weergeeft, is weer gehalveerd en ook op de obligatiemarkt lijkt de rust weergekeerd. Wat me vooral opvalt is dat slechte cijfers van sommige bedrijven, zoals Caterpillar, niet meer leiden tot een koersdaling." Voor Richard is dat een signaal dat slecht nieuws door de markt inmiddels wel is ingeprijsd. Als we het hebben over deelsectoren die sterk blijven presteren, dan geldt dat met name voor de techbedrijven zoals Meta, Microsoft en, in eigen land, ASM en Adyen. Allen bleken geen last te hebben van tumult of handelsoorlogen. Later deze week zullen we zien of andere techreuzen dezelfde veerkracht laten zien. Verder in de podcast aandacht voor Akzo Nobel, dat mogelijk de verf-divisie van BASF overneemt en we bespreken wat de gevolgen zijn als DoorDash Deliveroo weet in te lijven. Uiteraard bespreken we de luisteraarsvragen en geven de experts hun tips. Reinder kiest een Amerikaans elektrotechnisch concern, Richard tipt een ETF met de ISIN-code IE00BF16M727.

Nadat Prosus maaltijdbezorger Just Eat Takeaway overnam, dreigt nu hetzelfde te gebeuren bij het Britse Deliveroo. De Amerikaanse concurrent DoorDash wil het bedrijf kopen voor dik 3 miljard euro. Doordash is in de VS al de grootste, maar wil met de inlijving van Deliveroo ook z'n positie in Europa verder uitbouwen. Maar doe je er wel verstandig aan om de eeuwige nummer 2 te kopen? Tegelijk is het een mooi moment om te kijken of beleggers in Just Eat wel een eerlijke prijs krijgen. Of komen die er bekaaid vanaf? En niemand had dat gedacht: het oer-conservatieve ExxonMobil dreigt nog groenere praatjes te krijgen dan de 'Jesse Klaver' onder de oliebedrijven. Eerder deed ExxonMobil al dat duurzame gedoe nog af als een 'schoonheidswedstrijd', die klimaatverandering niet zou stoppen. Ook waarschuwt Klaas Knot dat zijn laatste ECB-vergadering 'echt een ingewikkelde' wordt. Verfmaker AkzoNobel staat op het punt om de grootste overname in jaren te doen. En Apple raakt steeds verder op achterstand in China.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Accountantskantoren in Nederland werven steeds meer personeel uit het buitenland, zo blijkt uit een rondgang van het FD. Door tekorten aan accountants wijken ze onder meer uit naar Sri Lanka, Zuid-Afrika en Namibië. PwC heeft bijvoorbeeld het aantal buitenlandse medewerkers die zich bezighouden met Nederlandse dossiers flink verhoogd. Hoewel dit kostenvoordelen oplevert, waarschuwen experts voor mogelijke kwaliteitsrisico's. Zuidas redacteur Jennifer Mol onderzoekt hoe deze veranderingen het landschap van de Nederlandse accountancy beïnvloeden. Lees: Accountantskantoren werven steeds meer personeel in het buitenland Verfbedrijf AkzoNobel kijkt met serieuze interesse naar de coatingdivisie van Basf, die het Duitse chemiebedrijf onlangs te koop heeft gezet. Het lijkt een perfecte match, maar de hamvraag is nu de aandeelhouders van AkzoNobel zo’n grote overname zien zitten. Het Basf-onderdeel zou ongeveer €6 mrd moeten kosten, terwijl de beurswaarde van Akzonobel zo'n €9,5 miljard bedraagt. Redacteur Jan Braaksma vertelt waarom de coatingstak van Basf het ‘droomhuis' van Akzonobel is en wat de bezwaren kunnen zijn. Lees: Coatingdivisie Basf mogelijke prooi AkzoNobel Met de komst van president Donald Trump staat de academische vrijheid en financiële zekerheid van Amerikaanse universiteiten onder druk. Zo schrapte Trump vorige week $2,2 mrd aan overheidssteun voor Harvard, omdat de prestigieuze universiteit niet wilde voldoen aan zijn wensen. Een flinke klap, maar overheidssteun is niet de enige inkomstenbron voor universiteiten. De onderwijsinstellingen geven de laatste jaren steeds meer obligaties uit. Onderwijsredacteur Jildou Beiboer legt uit hoe deze universiteitsobligaties werken en waarom ze nu zo in trek zijn.

When you ask most professional brewers about what they do the most, the vast majority will answer cleaning. Despite this fact, during my many years of working with breweries of all sizes I frequently come across the phenomena where a baseline of clean for some brewers reveals that they have only ever known a dirty tank or other equipment as their baseline and call it clean. But if we have never seen the equipment or tank truly clean, how do we establish a true baseline? How do we define what clean is? When and how do we know our equipment is truly clean? How do we identify the first indications that our equipment is not clean? What should we consider before problems develop? What are the possible implications if we ignore the problems or simply do not have the expertise or training to identify them? This presentation will answer those questions and more.Born and raised in Cologne, Germany, Dirk graduated in Cologne with a degree in business administration.

Then in Segment Four, we close the show discussing the importance of seed treatments with Nick Tinsley from BASF.  

BA Brew guest Danny Kalkhoven warns against sticking too strictly to business models (such as the BA Service Framework) and recommends adapting them to context. Jonathan is impressed by Danny's inspired analogy – applying a business model without context is like turning up at a building site with a shiny new drill and asking where you can use it. Danny quotes British Statistician George E.P. Box: ‘All models are wrong, but some are useful'. And Debbie gets straight to the point with: ‘Always switch your brain on'! Danny Kalkhoven is a business analyst, consultant and business analysis trainer who lives in the Netherlands. His forthcoming talk at BA Conference Europe 2025 ‘Mind the Gap' addresses the inevitable gap between business models and real-world business challenges.If you liked this BA Brew, you may also enjoy the following:  BA Brew BA Brew 35: The BA Service Framework Article Creating a Business Analysis Service Definition Introducing the BA Service Framework: FREE Course #businessanalyst #businessmodels #businessanalysis #BASF #BAServiceFramework #changemanagement #businesstools

Chinese leaders believe overcapacity across industries including automotive is a cyclical problem that fresh growth will solve. Foreign investors with experience in the PRC see things differently. To them, overcapacity is a direct result of China's planned economy. Not only does massive overcapacity spark price wars inside China, it also threatens to spur an avalanche of exports into markets worldwide, undermining industries and killing jobs. Joerg Wuttke led the China operations of BASF, the German chemical giant for 27 years. Mr Wuttke  knows China like few people on the planet. In the summer of 2024, he became a partner at the Albright Stonebridge Group based in Washington DC. Mr Wuttke is considered one of the world's leading experts on Europe-China trade and investments. Today, we talk about what Mr Wuttke calls China's "breaking point" when it comes to overcapacity. How soon will it arrive? What will it look like?

How big is too big? When it comes to corporate concentration many observers raise concerns about the tech industry. However, in the new book, Titans of Industrial Agriculture: how a few giant corporations came to dominate the farm sector and why it matters, political economist Jennifer Clapp draws attention to the overwhelming shadow a small handful of transnational corporations cast over the global agricultural sector. Professor Clapp argues that these corporations hold concentrated power over the agricultural sector that keep industrial agricultural practices entrenched in patterns of production, despite the concerns of the social, ecological and health impacts to society. She explains how we got to this point and what it might take to make changes. Jennifer's work at the intersection of the global economy, food security, and food systems, and the natural environment, looks specifically at issues of global governance. She is currently a member of the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems, and a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the UN Food Systems Coordination Hub.  Interview Summary Norbert - Jennifer, let's just jump right in and I'd love for you to help our listeners understand a little bit more about your book. You write about corporate concentration in the agricultural input sector. Can you explain what this involves and what products are we really talking about?    Yes. The book is about what we call the agricultural inputs industry. And that's really four different product types typically, and maybe a fifth that we can talk about. So, one of them is farm machinery, and that's really referring to things like plows and tractors, harvesters, etc. That kind of machinery on the farm. The second industry is the fertilizer industry, which is all about, you know, the nutrients that we bring to the soil through fertilizer products like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash. And the seed industry. That's another industry that is a key input for farmers. And then also pesticides. And when we talk about pesticides, we're referring to things like insecticides, chemicals that kill insects, but also chemicals that kill weeds and fungus. And so those are the four sort of big inputs that I talk about in the book. But also, the book covers a fifth input, an emerging input, which is data. And this is, especially as we're seeing the datafication and digitalization of farming. Increasingly data has now become a commodity that is bought and sold as an input into farming. Norbert - Great. I have to ask, what drew you to the input industry? I mean, let's be honest, that's not the thing that most people get excited about. Why should we be concerned? Yeah, that's a great question. I've actually had a very long interest in the seed in chemical industry. That goes way back to the start of my career because I did studies in agriculture for my PhD dissertation. But then I got quite interested in toxic waste and then that sort of drew me to this question of the global pesticide trade. And when I learned that, you know, oftentimes, like in the US there might be a banning of a pesticide that's no longer in use. But it was still being traded globally. And this, I found this very fascinating and how that industry worked. And that kind of drew me into understanding the connections between seeds and chemicals. And then when the digitalization of farming came along and in recent decades it became really clear that it wasn't just chemical and seed industry involved in that digitalization. It was also the fertilizer and the farm machinery sector. It made me want to understand the interconnections between these industries. I know it's like, maybe a bit specific, but they have huge consequences in terms of the way our food systems look like. And so that really drew me to understand where did these inputs come from? And why are they controlled by just a few large companies? Erika - Jennifer, I want to ask you a question about why this sector, especially related to the inputs, is so important when we're talking about food systems. And especially their social and ecological dimensions. And specifically in the book, you tease out many of the social and ecological costs of inputs such as pesticides. Also the social and ecological consequences of even farm machinery. So it would be great if you could elaborate on their importance.  Thanks, Erika. That's a great question and that's part of the reason why I was really drawn to study these inputs. Because I'm in a school of environmental studies, I'm very interested in these interconnections between food systems and environmental outcomes. I was really interested in learning more about where these industries came from, and as I was teasing out where they came from. And how they became dominated by such large companies, I also learned in much more depth about the ecological consequences of these inputs. I can just say a little bit about some of them because these consequences are so big that we almost forget to talk about them. They become embedded in the product itself. And so, one example is farm machinery. Farm machinery was originally seen as quite revolutionary and that it allowed farmers to harvest their fields much more quickly than they used to be able to before. But that also meant then that to make the equipment efficient and pay for them they might as well extend the size of their farm. And as farmers extended the size of their farm, in the US anyway, they moved west and displaced its indigenous people from the land, in terms of taking that land for farm production. But also, as farms began to consolidate and get larger, as mechanization continued, it also displaced others from the land. Poor farmers, black farmers, those who were renting land and didn't have access to their own. And so, people who were marginalized and we still considered marginalized in society today, were really being displaced from the land as a direct consequence of farm machinery. It's not that farm machinery is like necessarily something that we want to do away with today, but I think we need to recognize those historical connections. And really understand that when, you know, you see a book for a small child about farming and there might be a picture of a farmer and it's usually a white guy sitting on a tractor. We can forget that image has a lot of baggage associated with it in terms of displacement and inequality. And I think we need to recognize that. But it does not just stop there. There's also plowing disturbs the soil, heavy machinery compacts the soil so it can harm fertility of the soil as well. And the machinery part of the equation has long been a source of inequality in terms of being very expensive for farmers. It's been one of the main reasons farmers have often been driven into debt. Farm machinery might have been liberating in one sense to allow increased production, but it did come with costs that we should acknowledge. We also need to recognize the ecological and social costs associated with the fertilizer industry. And this industry goes way back to the 1840s and we saw the rise of the guano trade. And we can think immediately of the working conditions of the workers who were digging the guano in the Chincha islands of Peru. And often they were coming from Asia and facing really harsh working conditions. But then when we saw the rise of synthetic nitrogen in the early 20th Century, the cost shifted in a way towards the cost of fossil fuels. The huge amount of natural gas used in the synthesis of nitrogen. And also, the climate consequences of the nitrous oxides that come from the application of synthetic nitrogen into the soil. So again, there's like enormous ecological and social impacts from that particular input. Similarly, when we talk about seeds, the hybridization of seeds in the 1920s and 1930s also raise huge concerns about plant genetic diversity. And we know that in the last century or so we've lost around 75% of plant genetic diversity for crop genetic diversity. And this is because of the way in which we started to see the uniformity of the genetic makeup of seeds. The monocultural planting of seeds really reduced that kind of diversity. And then intellectual property protection on seeds that came with the hybridization of seeds also led to a decreased ability of farmers to save their own seed and exchange their own seed with their neighbors. So again, social ecological costs. And finally, when we talk about pesticides, we have seen enormous issues with respect to pollution runoff. This kind of bioaccumulation of these toxic chemicals that have enormous health consequences. So, all of these inputs have very large impacts in terms of their social and ecological costs. And we can even extend that to the issue of data today. There's a lot of concern about data platforms for digital farming where farmers are signing away the rights to the data that are coming from their own farms. And they don't have the kind of interoperability with other data sharing systems. And there's also a lack of clarity about who owns that data. So again, there's big issues with respect to these inputs and how they are affecting both social and ecological dynamics within the food system.  Erika - Thank you for helping us understand the social and ecological impacts of these inputs into the farming industry. Norbert - This is a really rich conversation and I want to understand a little bit more. There's a big part of your text that's about the concentration in the input sector. What does it look like today and was it always this way? That's a great question because it's almost a trick question because we tend to assume that this high level of concentration that we see today is something that's new. But what I found in my research is that the high degree of concentration actually has a long history that goes back about a century or more in some cases. And when we're looking at each of these sectors, the farm machinery, for example, is controlled. Most of the market is controlled by about just four firms. And they control around 50% of the global market. But when you look specifically at national markets in the US, for example, John Deere, you know, the largest company that makes farm machinery, it controls over 50% of the tractor market. So that's just one firm alone. It's similar dynamics when we look at fertilizer, seeds and pesticides and fertilizer, for example. Just two firms control a hundred percent of North American potash production. The four key companies control a large amount of the global fertilizer trade. In seeds, it's also very similar and in pesticides. In the seeds and pesticides that's especially interesting because since the 1980s and 1990s, the seed and pesticide companies actually merged with each other. We can't even say there's a set of seed companies and a set of chemical companies. It's actually seed and chemical companies. That's one set. And they control around 60% of the global seed market and around 70% of the global pesticide market. And that's really what prompted me to want to work on this book is that after 2015, there was a set of mergers in the seed and chemical sector that concentrated those firms even further. They used to be dominated by six firms. We used to call them the Big Six, and then they had major mergers where Bayer bought Monsanto, Dow and DuPont merged and formed Corteva. Syngenta group was bought by Chem China, and then bought by Sino Chem, a big Chinese chemical company. And then BASF bought up all the bits that the other companies were forced to sell to pass regulatory hurdles. And so, we ended up with a Big Four. And these companies produce both seeds and chemicals and have a quite an enormous impact in terms of their market dominance. Norbert - Wow. This is really important and I think it's a topic that many of us who look at the food industry aren't paying attention to. And I'm really appreciative of you laying out this concentration that's taking place. Jennifer, when reading the book, I was really struck by the fact that this is not just a book about the farmers themselves and the farming industry and the companies that provide the inputs. But you also touch upon the role of universities and university science and scientists; and also the role of government in helping to fuel or seed innovation in this sector. And, you know, here I was hoping you could talk about this important role for universities and also the government given that we're in a current moment where we're seeing a retrenchment from investments by government, and also the ability of universities to continue to seed innovation. So I was hoping you could share some of your insights.  Yes, it's certainly an interesting time on the landscape of spending on innovation and with a retrenchment of state pulling back away from supporting technological innovation and other innovations. And that's certainly true in the farm sector, and that's very different from the situation if we go back to the 1800s and see, as you mentioned, the role that the state played in terms of really trying to support innovation in these sectors. And what I argue in the book is that these firms, they got big in the first place, and they were able to consolidate in the first place, through a series of what I call market technology and policy factors. And it's kind of messy. I put them in these three big categories. But in terms of these market factors, that's what most people tend to think about when they think, 'oh, a firm got big. Maybe it's just more efficient. It's able to produce products more cheaply and therefore it just grew to be big.' And that's much more complicated than that of course. And that's because, as you said this role of technological change in which universities have played a really important role. And government support and throughout history in the US, a lot of the book focuses on the US because we have good information and data there. And the US set up the land grant college system really to support development in the agricultural sector. And that gave us, you know, a lot of the innovations that led to, for example, the hybridization of seeds. And the corporations that took up that innovation that the state supported through university research, those firms also work directly with universities in many instances, to have these kinds of collaborative relationships, to develop, herbicides, to develop seeds, to develop further farm machinery, etc. So that role of technological innovation is really important, and that innovation doesn't just come from nowhere. It doesn't just pop up. It doesn't just show up one day. Right? It comes from investment. Investment in universities and research and development. And so that has been a really important strand to develop this kind of industrial agriculture. And now we know from university research, etc., that there are some problems associated with it. Yet it's proving hard to get that kind of funding to spur a new transformation towards a more sustainable agriculture because we're not giving that kind of state support, and support to universities to do that research and innovative work to lead us towards more sustainable agriculture. So, I think there's a lot there that we need to work on. And that's some of the recommendations that I make at the end of the book. Is that we need to shore up that kind of public investment in innovation, in alternative systems to address some of the problems. So just let me tag on another question from that. Just what are the consequences then for having just a small number of firms dominating this sector and no longer having these investments in innovation? Yeah, so what we're seeing increasingly as the state has pulled away from supporting agricultural research, is that most of that agricultural research now is being done by private corporations. And the big concern there is that as you have a smaller and smaller number of very large firms dominating in the sector, their incentive to innovate actually weakens. It weakens because if there's not a lot of players in the marketplace that are doing innovative work, there's just not a lot of competition. And so why would you innovate if you don't have to? If you're already a monopoly and you're able to sell your product, there's not a lot of incentive to innovate in a way that might then decrease the sales of your old products. And so, what we're seeing is a shift in innovation from the private sector, away from these kinds of transformative innovations and much more towards what we call defensive innovations. They're innovating in ways that actually enable them to sell existing products. And many would say that the rise of agricultural biotechnology was actually that kind of a defensive innovation. It was modifying seeds to make them resistant to the application of existing herbicides. And so there was innovation, but it was actually spurring further sales in an existing product. And part of the reason for that was that it became very expensive for these companies. The regulatory hurdles became quite expensive for them to develop new herbicides. And so, they were like, 'oh, it's cheaper and faster to work with seeds. Why don't we do it this way and then we'll continue to sell the herbicides.' Which by the way, got them a lot more profit than selling the seeds. So that's why they bought up a lot of the seed companies and really consolidated in that period. And there's a longstanding concern among competition regulators, the regulators that try to prevent a huge concentration in the economy, about this question of innovation. And it's very relevant in the agricultural sector. There's this sense that if you allow too much concentration to happen, it can dampen that innovation and that takes away that dynamic, innovative spirit within the sector. It's definitely a big concern. Norbert - Jennifer, I really appreciate this. Earlier in my career I was a part of some research related to biotechnology and innovation that happens there. And one of the things that I learned about is this idea of building thickets. These sort of patent thickets where you create a series of patents that actually make it difficult for others to be able to innovate in that same way. There are these real challenges of this kind of defensive innovation. And that's just one of the challenges that you bring up in the book. And I am interested in understanding, as sort a last question, what are some of the recommendations? You mentioned public sector funding of agricultural research and many of my colleagues in my discipline have said we need more research for agriculture. Are there other areas of recommendation to address some of the concerns you raised in the book? Thanks, Norbert. Yes, definitely. And I definitely do call for greater public support for agricultural research. And that's something within the agricultural sector. And I think there we really need to focus efforts on alternative agricultural production methods. For example, agroecology, which tries to reduce the amount of external inputs, not to increase them, by using nature's own processes to achieve the same functions of diversity and pest control, etc. And what's troubling is that when the firms don't have that incentive to innovate, you know, they're definitely not going to innovate in ways that would reduce their profits. They're not going to do that. The public sector has to step in if we want to see that kind of research done. But we also need measures outside of that food and agriculture system that will benefit food and agriculture. One area is stronger antitrust policies. Policies that would prevent further mergers and acquisitions that would allow those firms to continue to get bigger and bigger. Those antitrust policies are used largely, we've got merger guidelines, for example, in North America. And in Europe, when two firms want to merge, they have to get regulatory approval to do so. And those merger guidelines really walk the regulators through what would be a merger that might dampen competition, that might weaken innovation, you know, that kind of thing. It's important that we make those rules stronger. They had become progressively weaker after the 1980s. There was this move in the regulatory space that was this kind of idea that maybe it's okay if firms get really, really big because they can benefit from economies of scale. Maybe they can bring down consumer prices and maybe we shouldn't worry so much about these other areas of control. And there's been a bit of a shift in view around this in recent years where we've seen the rise of concern about these very big companies, especially with what we see with the big tech companies taking control over all these aspects of our lives. And people are saying, wait a minute, maybe we don't want to have this just a few companies controlling so much of our lives. And so, you know, we need to think about other ways to enforce antitrust policies to make them stronger so that we foster more competition and not just focus on whether something's more expensive or not. And that's, I mean, it's a bit of a hard thing to explain to some people. Obviously, people want to see lower prices. But the idea that we have to get across is that when competition dies, when it's not there, that's when the monopoly can really raise prices. And so, we need to have that competitive marketplace in order to spur innovation and also to bring prices down. That's really important and that's a kind of agenda item that's involves food and agriculture, but it's outside of the food and agriculture sector. It encompasses more. And another area where I think we can do more is to reign in the kind of undue corporate influence on the policy process. And that's arising out of a concern that as we're seeing fewer and fewer dominant companies in the food sector, and in other sectors as well, they tend to gain more political power to influence the policy and governance process. And so, what we're seeing is heightened lobby activity. Sponsoring of scientific studies and yes, coming back to the question about universities. But as corporations get bigger, they can shape science in ways that can help them win regulatory approval for their products. We need broader policies on conflict of interest to prevent large companies from taking over the policy process. And I know that's a really salient topic in the US right now, given what's going on in the broader politics. And I think it is a broader politics issue that needs to be seriously addressed if we want to support a more transformative form of food and agriculture. These kinds of policies like stronger antitrust, better conflict of interest policies, and also support for public agricultural research are all really important steps. I don't think any one of them on their own is going to do the trick in terms of spurring this desperately needed transformation in our food systems. But together, I think, they can bring us closer to that goal.

Farmers now have a new opportunity to improve their crop yields with the launch of BASF’s Real Results Yield Challenge. This initiative aims to show how fungicides can protect yields and maximize returns. Recent USDA data shows that average crop yields were down 5% in late 2024. "We heard many farmers express regret over missed fungicide applications that impacted their yields," said Brady Spangenberg, Marketing Director for Crop Protections with BASF US Agricultural Solutions. "By planning ahead, growers can reduce this risk and avoid those disappointing results." Farmers can join the Real Results Yield Challenge by working with their retailer to plan trials on their fields. Both experienced users and first-time participants are encouraged to explore new spray patterns, rates, or application methods like aerial or drone spraying. BASF will support the chemical costs for qualifying trials.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Feeding humanity in the future brings a complex set of interconnected challenges. What’s abundantly clear is that, over the coming decades, farming isn’t just about producing more, it’s about doing it differently, with the environment and society’s needs central to the task in hand. In this episode of the Science Behind Your Salad, Jane Craigie explores feeding the future, evolving and adapting to climate change and its mitigation, and innovating, just as agriculture has done for centuries. For Jack Bobo, UCLA’s Rothman Family Institute for Food Studies, and seasoned keynote speaker, it’s important not to forget what has been achieved thanks to agricultural advances. To put this into context, he says that if we were farming today with 1960s technology, we would require one billion additional hectares. What we consider as ‘the future’ centres around the year 2050 and feeding 1.5 billion more people with an estimated 50% more food and 70% more protein, this is a very stretching goal, yet farmers are ready to take on the challenge. For Thomas and Jana Gäbert, their cooperative farm in Trebbin near Berlin in Germany, seems to encompass what the farm of the future should be – serving the community, running circular and self-sufficient approaches and with the aim to sourcing as much as possible locally including their energy, workforce and services. As farmer Richard Hinchliffe, from Yorkshire in the UK accepts, the challenges are ever changing, but there is always a solution, as he describes in his battle against blackgrass, a common weed in cereal farming. His understanding of the weed’s behaviour, and how to break the cycle of seed return, has helped him control an increasingly difficult foe. BASF’s Michael Hoelter works closely with farmers like Richard, to research how resistance to herbicides builds in weed populations, and the best solutions to control grassweeds like blackgrass. The partnership between farmer and researchers like Michael and crucial for farmers to feed the future. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
