“Food systems have to do with everything from production to processing, distribution, and the utilization. Then of course, end of life for food systems which includes food waste. In the United States, 40% of the food that we produce goes to waste. This means with distribution challenges that not everybody has equitable access to the kinds of foods that they need and want, at the times that they need them." Robin Currey on Electric Ladies Podcast  Climate change is disrupting our food and agriculture systems, including the critical supply chains that feed and clothe us. Yet, these same supply chains can also hold the key to regenerative agriculture, especially in the face of extraordinary new scientific innovation. Women make or influence 85% of consumption decisions, so they/we can play a critical role in driving what companies and farmers produce.   Listen to this live recording of a session at The Earth Day Women's Summit at Earthx2025 with a panel moderated by Electric Ladies Podcast's Joan Michelson. You'll hear surprising ways that industries are creating solutions within supply chains, tapping into technologies to help us produce and consume more sustainably. The panel includes: Robin Currey, on the efforts underway to help food systems adapt to climate change through agricultural biodiversity. Alison Ward, CEO of CottonConnect, on efforts to engage women farmers in sustainable, regenerative agriculture practices. Zara Summers, Chief Science Officer at LanzaTech, on how carbon emissions are converted into sustainable materials for clothing, food, and fuel. Joan Michelson, Executive Producer of The Earth Day Women's Summit and host of Electric Ladies Podcast. And, insightful career advice… “If you can combine something you're passionate about with something you're good at, and you can make that into a career, that is success. Find other women that will be prepared to give back to help careers and connect. We have a Women in CottonConnect group where we are really looking at how we can advance women in our organization. “Not everything has to be an enormous career step. When I joined CottonConnect, it was a relatively small organization that has since grown into a much larger one.

This week on the Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast, we're talking about wipes. And diapers. And makeup pads. And all the other throwaway hygiene products we barely think about — but use every day. Most of these single-use items are made from plastic. Why? Because plastic is cheap, consistent, and engineered to run smoothly on fast-moving machines. But that convenience comes at a cost: landfill waste, microplastic pollution and a total disconnect from the land. But what if we could change that? What if the raw material for these essential products didn't come from oil — but from agriculture? From the hemp fields, even? This week, we talk to Jason Finnis from Bast Fiber Technologies, a company working to make that shift real — using hemp fiber to replace plastic in nonwoven hygiene products. Our guest is Jason Finnis, co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer at Bast Fiber Technologies, a clean-tech fiber company with operations in North Carolina and Germany. Jason's been working to bring hemp fiber into hygiene and personal care products for more than 30 years — not as a novelty, but as a high-performance alternative to synthetic materials. We talk about: • The massive and often invisible role of nonwovens in our daily lives • The hidden microplastics in wipes, pads and tampons — and why it matters • Why hemp fiber is a smart material for hygiene: absorbent, soft and compostable • What BFT looks for in hemp fiber: long, clean and consistent • The importance of regional supply chains and local farm partnerships • How consumer pressure, brand demand and European policy are aligning to create real momentum Jason shares his journey from selling hemp out of a VW bus in the '90s to helping build a future where everyday products are cleaner, greener and made from plants, not petroleum.

Kevin Werbach interviews Shameek Kundu, Executive Director of AI Verify Foundation, to explore how organizations can ensure AI systems work reliably in real-world contexts. AI Verify, a government-backed nonprofit in Singapore, aims to build scalable, practical testing frameworks to support trustworthy AI adoption. Kundu emphasizes that testing should go beyond models to include entire applications, accounting for their specific environments, risks, and data quality. He draws on lessons from AI Verify's Global AI Assurance pilot, which matched real-world AI deployers—such as hospitals and banks—with specialized testing firms to develop context-aware testing practices. Kundu explains that the rise of generative AI and widespread model use has expanded risk and complexity, making traditional testing insufficient. Instead, companies must assess whether an AI system performs well in context, using tools like simulation, red teaming, and synthetic data generation, while still relying heavily on human oversight. As AI governance evolves from principles to implementation, Kundu makes a compelling case for technical testing as a backbone of trustworthy AI. Shameek Kundu is Executive Director of the AI Verify Foundation. He previously held senior roles at Standard Chartered Bank, including Group Chief Data Officer and Chief Innovation Officer, and co-founded a startup focused on testing AI systems. Kundu has served on the Bank of England's AI Forum, Singapore's FEAT Committee, the Advisory Council on Data and AI Ethics, and the Global Partnership on AI.   Transcript AI Verify Foundation Findings from the Global AI Assurance Pilot Starter Kit for Safety Testing of LLM-Based Applications

Dr. Neil Parikh, Chief Innovation Officer at Connecticut GI and Chair of the GI Alliance Innovation Committee, brings a refreshingly grounded perspective to the future of gastroenterology. For him, innovation isn't research—it's real-world feasibility. It's pilot programs born from pain points like access, cost, and patient satisfaction. And it's about using the scale and clinical volume of independent practices to drive meaningful change—shaping not just care delivery, but potentially the guidelines themselves.In this candid conversation, Dr. Parikh maps out where GI is headed: AI-powered triage and documentation, actionable microbiome data, non-invasive diagnostics, and the quiet revolution of food and alternative therapies. He also confronts uncomfortable truths—how procedural pressures limit innovation, why most ideas fail, and how listening to patients might be the most radical act of all.*02:24 - Innovation Is Feasibility, Not Just ResearchDr. Parikh distinguishes innovation from academic research—it's about pilots and practical implementation at scale within large independent practices.04:11 - Pain Points Drive InnovationThe three main challenges—access, cost, and patient satisfaction—are core drivers of innovation in gastroenterology today.05:31 - AI in Every Step of the GI WorkflowFrom pre-visit triage to in-room documentation and post-visit care coordination, AI is envisioned as a co-pilot in delivering efficient, real-time GI care.08:56 - Image Recognition in Endoscopy Is Just the BeginningAI's role in computer-aided detection (CADe) is evolving beyond polyps—towards liver, pancreas, and upper GI diagnostics.09:34 - The Microbiome Will Become ActionableThe future lies not just in mapping gut flora but in personalizing interventions (diet, lifestyle) based on microbiome data—and gastroenterologists must lead this shift.12:16 - The Future of GI Will Require Non-Invasive DiagnosticsLimited capacity for colonoscopies and rising costs necessitate non-invasive tools to triage and expand screening for cancers and chronic conditions.21:49 - Innovation Needs Leadership That Sees Beyond RVUsFor roles like his to exist, organizational leaders must value long-term transformation over short-term productivity.28:28 - Podcasts as an Innovation EngineDr. Parikh's Gut Doctor podcast began as an internal education tool but evolved into a national platform.31:18 - Dr. Parikh Integrates Food, Lifestyle, and Alternative Therapies into GI CareFrom yogurt to apple cider vinegar to adult coloring books, Dr. Parikh integrates low-risk, patient-driven solutions into mainstream GI care—with humility and openness.42:07 - The Gut-Brain Axis Is Central to GI CareStress, sleep, and mental health directly affect GI function. Behavioral tools like CBT, mindfulness, and even “phone detox” are practical levers for healing.47:06 - Physicians Still Want to See Patients—The System Doesn't Let ThemContrary to perception, most GIs value patient interactions. However, systemic incentives push them toward procedures. Changing reimbursement models can rebalance the equation.52:24 - Younger Physicians Need to Be Honest About Their GoalsTrainees often say what's expected to secure jobs.

Bea Ordonez still recalls the whirlwind of her first CFO post: a raw fintech start‑up where, in two short years, she recruited “over a hundred people,” built the processes they would follow and decided what kind of culture would bind them, she tells us. Immersing herself in every workflow taught her that finance leadership begins on the frontline—listening, questioning, then turning messy reality into structure.That builder's reflex shapes her playbook at Payoneer today. After a decade as a global COO and a stint as Chief Innovation Officer, Ordonez now sits in the public‑company CFO chair, but she leads with the same conviction that data and customer proximity must converge. Payoneer's mission—“talent is equally distributed globally, but opportunity isn't,” she says—drives investments in a cross‑border payments platform serving more than two million SMBs. To scale responsibly, she has poured resources into a robust data foundation, predictive AI models that flag churn, and governance that satisfies regulators across 190 countries.Volatility, meanwhile, no longer startles her. Having weathered the dot‑com bust, 2008, COVID, the 2023 U.S. banking shock—and now a new wave of tariffs whose ultimate impact remains uncertain—she treats upheaval as a catalyst for opportunity.For aspiring finance leaders, her path offers a signal: there is no prescribed ladder. Curiosity, operational empathy and a willingness to “lean into areas where there's no obvious right answer” open the widest doors—and keep a company's growth story moving long after the numbers are scored, through volatile cycles across global markets today.

A check- in conversation with Ethan Soloviev, Chief Innovation Officer at HowGood, about how regenerative agriculture is truly taking off, its position within large food and agriculture companies, and whether we risk watering it down or falling into greenwashing (Spoiler: Surprisingly, we're doing a lot about it!). We also get an update on HowGood—they're doing well and focusing more on nutrient density-, plus, we talk about Regen House, which is revolutionizing the way good food fosters meaningful conversations at major events like COPs, climate summits, and Davos, bringing farmers, indigenous community members, and global executives together around regenerative food experiences. By centering conversations on actual good food rather than panels and PowerPoints, these gatherings forge authentic connections that move regeneration forward. And, of course, no conversation with Ethan would be complete without diving into AI—what currently does and what it could do for regeneration—not just through efficiency gains, but through innovative applications like predicting deforestation before it happens. The real breakthrough will come when we develop "large ecological models" trained on nature's patterns rather than just human texts, enabling truly regenerative landscape design.As Chief Innovation Officer at HowGood, Ethan offers a glimpse into how sustainability data is transforming food systems. Their database tracks environmental and social impacts for 33,000 ingredients and nearly 4 million products globally, enabling everything from carbon footprinting to supplier engagement. What's particularly encouraging is how this data influences consumer behavior—when sustainability information is presented clearly at the point of purchase, sales of sustainable products consistently increase across diverse markets.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/ethan-soloviev-4.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

"[Max Creek's co-founder said] one of the reasons why I started the band was to give people a place to call home." "True communities thrive when the connections are from within."
