Supply chains are facing pressure from every direction, from inflation and shifting consumer behavior to climate-driven disruption and rapidly evolving AI capabilities. For leaders, the challenge isn't simply keeping up. It's figuring out where to focus, how to make faster and better decisions, and how to turn emerging technology into measurable business value.In this episode of The Buzz, powered by MFG.inc, Scott Luton and special guest co-host Tanzil Uddin with Manifest are joined by Dheera Anand, Partner at Bain & Company, to unpack some of the biggest forces shaping supply chain today. They explore the latest challenges at the Panama Canal, changing consumer behavior, and lessons in regional resilience from APAC before diving deep into AI and supply chain transformation.Dheera shares practical examples of how organizations are moving beyond AI experimentation and “pilot fatigue” to create real operational value. The conversation also explores high-frequency decision-making, the importance of choosing the right AI applications, and how AI could reshape integrated business planning through faster scenario planning, continuous monitoring, and an “always-on” approach to IBP. Key TakeawaysPredictability and visibility are critical to resilience. Disruptions such as those affecting the Panama Canal demonstrate why companies need to understand their exposure throughout the supply network, not just at tier one.Consumers are still spending, but they're becoming more value-conscious. Retailers need greater precision around inventory, working capital, automation, and productivity as economic pressures continue.AI's greatest value may be in high-frequency decisions. Thousands of small operational decisions can create significant value leakage when humans simply don't have the capacity to address them all in real time.Moving beyond AI pilot fatigue requires better use-case selection. Leaders should consider data availability, decision frequency, variability, and the consequences of error when determining where AI can deliver scalable value.World-class IBP is a decision process—not a reporting process. Effective IBP should drive decisions, trade-offs, scenario planning, and preparation for what happens when the plan changes.AI could make IBP increasingly “always on.” Faster scenario modeling, automated assumption monitoring, and early-warning signals could move organizations beyond the traditional monthly planning cadence.Not all complexity creates value. Organizations need greater visibility and governance to distinguish complexity that customers value from complexity that adds cost without meaningful return. Supply chain leaders don't need more technology experiments; they need practical ways to turn technology, data, and planning into better decisions. Tune in to hear Scott, Tanzil, and Dheera explore how leaders can move beyond AI pilots, strengthen resilience, rethink IBP, and build supply chains that are better equipped to compete in an increasingly complex environment.

Farmers have been assessing the damage done by the summer's severe drought, but it's not just low crop yields they've had to face. Woodlands have also suffered, especially younger trees which haven't had time to get fully established, which can take up to five years. In 2024-25 just over 10 million individual trees were planted in England. How many of those have died? And what can farmers do if they've planted trees using grant money but now have thousands of dead saplings on their land? We speak to The Woodland Trust.The government's holding a wildfire summit next month - and MPs have been questioning ministers about how they handled wildfires over the summer and whether England was fully prepared to tackle them. On the day that the first Scottish Licences for burning moorland were open for applications, the Environment Food and Rural Affairs committee also discussed reducing fuel load on hillsides in England.We all like to get a bargain, and it's often the case that the bigger you are as a buyer, the more likely you are to find one. It's the same for farmers, and many have joined buying groups to source everything from seed, fertiliser, fuel and chemicals right down to mobile phones and stationery. All week we're looking at agricultural cooperatives, today it's a big one in Lincolnshire.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Drought can leave dryland corn with little grain potential but still considerable forage value. Before writing those fields off, grazing may be one way to capture some value with livestock. Ben Beckman, Nebraska Extension Forage Systems Educator.

Most businesses believe they have outsourced their nature risk. They have not.In this episode we look at why so much climate and nature risk sits in supply chains rather than on the balance sheet, and what that means for any organisation buying from, selling into or manufacturing in Asia.I am joined by Fran van Dijk, CEO and founder of One Stone Advisors, who has just shared a discussion paper on nature and climate risk with the accountancy profession, and Eleanor Whittle, founder of Alopias Earth, who spent a decade in UK government on international biodiversity policy including two years as a diplomat in Beijing, and now advises companies on climate and nature strategy from Taiwan. Together they write the Real World Briefing series. Charlie Luxton and I take the conversation from accounting rules to the water systems that keep global trade moving.The numbers land hard. Drought cut daily Panama Canal crossings by 36%. Low water on the Rhine pushed shipping from around 20 euros a tonne to 150. Around 41% of Asian data centres sit in areas of extremely high water stress, with another 22% in high stress zones. The Asian Development Bank puts roughly 75% of the region's GDP in sectors moderately or heavily dependent on nature, well above the global average.What comes out of it is practical. Separate your risks from your dependencies, because you can diversify a risk and you cannot diversify a dependency. Investigate your supply chain to tier four, not tier one. Build a live risk register. Ask whether you have the regional expertise and local partnerships to turn a disclosure into a credible strategy. And stop filing this under sustainability, because it belongs in business strategy.ABOUT THE GUESTSFran van Dijk, One Stone AdvisorsFran advises boards and senior leadership teams on nature, biodiversity and integrated climate and nature strategy through One Stone Advisors. She is a B Corp founder and a Public Interest Member of the Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland. Fran is also Chief Impact Officer at Subsee, an AI and ocean technology company.Fran recently wrote a paper highlighting the sustainability challenges to conventional accounting, such as its failure to record the erosion of the critical shared assets a company doesn't own, and its reliance on historical data to predict non-linear future risks. Giving examples from published data and major corporate losses at firms like PG&E and Toyota, Fran explains why the profession needs better forward-looking, climate- and nature-related risk models. She draws on the UK Government's National Security Assessment, the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries' Parasol Lost report, and documented corporate information.Fran and Will have known each other since Will moved to Edinburgh. She sat on Green Element's advisory board. She brings the ‘what is actually happening' lens, and the financial translation: unpriced insurance risk, tail risk, going concern, and the questions a CFO cannot answer from a standard risk register.Eleanor Whittle, Alopias EarthEleanor founded Alopias Earth and advises private-sector organisations on climate and nature-related risk and strategy. She spent around ten years in the UK government, including leading major international climate finance programmes and two years as a diplomat in Beijing, where she led UK-China engagement on climate and nature. Eleanor then went on to be Programme Director at global energy think tank Ember. She is based in Taiwan, giving her a working perspective on a region that many European businesses primarily experience through their supply chains and operations. She is also Chief Strategy Officer at Subsee, an AI and ocean technology company. A keen diver and freediver, her connection to the ocean is personal as well as professional.Eleanor co-authors the Real World Briefing series with Fran and wrote the Asia Pacific briefing this episode draws on. She brings the regional and regulatory picture: how nature risk shows up through water, supply chains and infrastructure; why sustainability regulation and disclosure are accelerating across Asian markets; and what this means for European companies buying from, selling into or operating in the region.Eleanor is also an Honorary Fellow of the University of East Anglia.COMPANY SNAPSHOTSOne Stone AdvisorsA specialist advisory practice working with boards and leadership teams on nature, biodiversity and integrated climate and nature strategy. Focus areas include nature-related risk in value chains, board governance and capability, and the financial framing of nature risk. Fran van Dijk is a founder and a B Corp advocate.Alopias EarthA strategic advisory business helping companies understand and respond to climate and nature-related risk, and translate it into strategy and decision-making. Founded by Eleanor Whittle, Alopias Earth brings international policy and regional insight to questions spanning nature-related risk, value chains, regulation and business resilience.The Real World Briefing SeriesA monthly board-level briefing series co-authored by Fran and Eleanor, making the case that nature and biodiversity are business-critical. Four briefings inform this episode:Briefing 1: Nature is Now Business-Critical. Nature moves from voluntary and reputational to material and decision-relevant. TNFD as entry point rather than destination.Briefing 2: Financing Green to Greening Finance. How the financial sector is bringing nature into the mainstream, and why diversification is not enough.Briefing 3: Asia Pacific, the Region That Changes the Equation. Nature risk as geographic and systemic rather than sector-specific.Briefing 4: Europe, a Climate Leader Losing Its Way. The fastest-warming continent, the Omnibus rollback, and cascading food system risk.THE ST ETHELBURGA'S ROUNDTABLEThis summary outlines the findings from the St Ethelburga's Roundtable, held on June 23, 2026, which addressed the gap between climate and nature insight and effective action.Chapters 01:20 Meet Fran van Dijk and Eleanor Whittle 02:23 What climate and nature risk actually means for a business 06:46 What this year's fires and heatwaves have already cost 09:29 Discounting: how accounting makes long-term damage disappear 11:13 Insurers quietly walking away from high-risk assets 15:47 The Panama Canal and the limits of abstract risk 26:34 Asia: data centres, semiconductors and water stress 31:09 Why you cannot outsource risk to a supplier 34:14 Nickel, Indonesia and the energy transition colliding with nature loss 43:12 The gap between net zero claims and verified action 52:18 Putting nature into governance and onto the board 55:27 The questions your board should be asking nowIf you want help turning this into a costed adaptation and resilience plan, that is what we do at 51toCarbonZero: https://www.51tocarbonzero.comSubscribe for more conversations that make sustainability a business decision rather than a reporting exercise.#NatureRisk #SupplyChainRisk #ClimateRisk #TNFD #SustainabilityMentioned in this episode:UPCOMING WEBINAR: The Scope 3 Blind Spot: What Your Supplier Data Isn't Telling YouScope 3 emissions are often the biggest contributor to an organisation's carbon footprint, yet many businesses are making decisions based on incomplete, outdated or estimated supplier data.

Pastor Matt addresses how believers should respond when facing unexpected challenges and trials. Rather than placing primary reliance on human wisdom, strength, or resources, Scripture calls us to place complete trust in the Lord. Through several biblical accounts, the sermon contrasts the outcomes of trusting in human ability versus trusting in God's power and provision.(00:00) - Introduction & Facing Challenges (01:27) - Church Leadership Update (06:19) - Jeremiah 17:5–8 (Trusting in Man vs. God) (08:31) - Joshua 6 & 9 (Trust in God vs. Trust in People) (11:32) - 2 Chronicles 14 & 16 (King Asa's Choices) (15:19) - Luke 5:5a vs. Luke 5:5b (Peter's Obedience) (20:07) - Jeremiah 17:5–8 (Enduring Seasons of Drought) (24:35) - Ezra 8:21–23 (Fasting & Total Dependence) (29:42) - Closing Prayer & Communion Pastor Matt Clausen preaches from the Prior Lake Campus.

The Jets may have the better chance than the Giants to start 1-0, but everything could come down to Geno Smith. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate which version of Geno will show up against Tennessee and whether the Jets can trust a quarterback coming off a rough season to reinvent himself once again. The Titans don't scare Evan nearly as much as the possibility of the Jets beating themselves. Plus, the crew makes a bold prediction that the Jets will finally end their interception drought, while Malik Nabers' uncertain status adds another major question heading into the Giants' opener against Dallas.

Orleans' water comes entirely from a sole-source aquifer - no rivers or reservoirs to fall back on - which makes the town especially sensitive to how much snow and rain fall each winter. In this episode, Sue Brown, Orleans' Water & Sewer Superintendent, joins Amanda and Mia to explain what's really behind current water restrictions: how the state's drought designations work, what makes Orleans' rules different from some neighboring towns, how enforcement actually happens day to day, and what residents can do - beyond skipping the sprinkler - to help.In this episode:Why winter snowpack (not summer rain) is the key factor in Orleans' water supplyThe difference between the state's drought guidance, Orleans' individual water permit, and the town's own local rulesWhat's currently allowed and restricted for outdoor water useHow violations are identified and enforcedSimple, high-impact ways residents can conserve water year-roundResources:Orleans Water DepartmentEye on Water - track your household's water usage and set leak alertsMassachusetts Drought Management Task ForceAbout the Show: Orleans: Behind the Scenes takes you inside the departments and people that keep our town running.

FED HIKE ODDS RISE - Warsh said the Fed still has “work to do” if officials are not confident inflation is returning to 2%. - Fed Governor Christopher Waller has left open the possibility of holding rates steady if inflation cools. - The September decision is increasingly being dictated by incoming inflation data and oil. -  It is kinda funny.... The “data-dependent Fed” is now apparently oil-dependent, jobs-dependent and whatever-CPI-says-next-week-dependent. OIL KEEPS PRESSURE ON INFLATION - Renewed U.S.-Iran tensions have pushed oil higher and revived fears about supply through the Strait of Hormuz. - The Strait remains one of the most important chokepoints for global energy flows. - Oil is working directly against central banks trying to bring inflation back toward target. -  Basically, central banks can raise rates all they want yet it is too bad that the the Strait of Hormuz does not attend FOMC meetings. SCHWAB VOLATILITY TRADE - Barron's argues low market volatility may not last as fall seasonality and macro risks build. - Schwab could benefit if volatility drives heavier customer trading activity. - The suggested trade used an October risk reversal built around $110 puts and $120 calls. BEAR INVASION - Colorado has logged more than 7,000 bear sightings this year, already a record. - Drought and poor natural food supplies are pushing bears into homes and businesses. - New Mexico and Utah have also reported unusually high numbers of bears being euthanized. - One Colorado homeowner found two bears inside his hallway; another wandered into a vape shop. - Is this a warning for markets?????

BROADCOM: NEXT AI CHECK - Broadcom reports Wednesday after the close, another major test of AI spending after Nvidia. - Focus will be on AI semiconductor growth, hyperscaler demand and the outlook for custom AI accelerators. - Broadcom's guidance matters beyond the stock because it offers a read on whether huge data-center spending plans are still accelerating. WEIRD ONE: SHEIN'S UPSIDE-DOWN IPO - Shein is looking to raise about $1.8 billion in its Hong Kong IPO while paying roughly $3.6 billion in cash and stock to early investors. - The payouts stem from investor protections triggered after Shein's valuation collapsed from about $98 billion in 2022 to roughly $26.8 billion. - Some of the same early investors receiving compensation are coming back as cornerstone buyers in the IPO. - Essentially: raise $1.8 billion from new investors while sending twice that amount back to older ones. GOOD GOOD GOES BAD - Good Good Golf's controversial Callaway ad showed co-founder Garrett Clark shoving a female creator in a movie spoof, triggering immediate backlash. - Callaway ended its partnership, Dick's and Golf Galaxy pulled Good Good merchandise, and Golf Channel canceled the current "Big Break x Good Good" season. - Good Good also stepped away as title sponsor of the PGA Tour's November event in Austin. - WOW - the company had more than 2 million YouTube followers and become one of golf's fastest-growing media and merchandise businesses before the blowup. ARGENTINA BEEF PRICE FIX - Trump expanded lower-tariff beef imports by 300,000 metric tons in an effort to bring down record-high U.S. beef prices. - The U.S. cattle herd is at its lowest level in 75 years, while USDA expects beef production to fall roughly 4% this year. - Argentina is one source of additional supply, but U.S. ranchers argue cheaper imports could undercut domestic producers just as they are trying to rebuild herds. - Trump says imported beef could help lower prices; farm-state lawmakers and ranch groups say the short-term consumer fix could make the long-term supply problem worse. EUROPE GETS GROWTH AND INFLATION - Euro-zone manufacturing is expanding at its fastest pace in more than four years as headline inflation moves back above 3%. - Stronger factories give the ECB more room to tighten without immediately crushing economic activity. - Much of the new inflation pressure is energy-driven, which higher ECB rates cannot directly fix. - Europe finally gets better manufacturing numbers, so naturally the reward is another rate hike. CHINA'S TWO-SPEED ECONOMY - The private manufacturing PMI showed expansion while the official factory reading remained in contraction. - Export orders strengthened, but services and domestic demand remain weak. - The divergence shows the improvement remains concentrated in exporters. - Alternative Facts: Depending on which PMI you prefer, China's factory sector is either expanding or contracting. Two economies for the price of one. THE $50 BILLION DATA-CENTER IPO - SB Energy is reportedly seeking a valuation above $50 billion despite having no operational data centers. - It reported about $139 million of first-half revenue against a $3.21 billion net loss. - The company claims roughly $439 billion of project backlog. - OpenAI is an investor, warrant holder and major future customer; Nvidia is also providing capital while supplying the chips. - Soooooo...... No operating data centers, billions in losses and a possible $50 billion valuation. At least they remembered to build the valuation first. NVIDIA BUYS HUGGING FACE FOR $13 BILLION - Nvidia agreed to buy Hugging Face for about $12.9 billion. - Hugging Face was valued at $4.5 billion in 2023 and has about $150 million in annual revenue. - Nvidia will pay roughly $11.9 billion to shareholders plus $1 billion in employee retention equity. - Hugging Face will remain open and interoperable. - JC Called this earlier last week. Obviusly the pressure was on since his scoop and they needed to get this done. UNCLE SAM'S STOCK PORTFOLIO - Federal equity positions now include Intel, MP Materials and Trilogy Metals. - Intel, MP Materials and Trilogy Metals all jumped after their respective government deals. - An Intel shareholder lawsuit argues the CHIPS Act did not authorize the government to demand an equity stake. - The case could affect other government investments made using CHIPS Act funding.

Is Solanke with Marmoush behind him really the fix for Tottenham's goal drought? Professional analyst Enya says the pairing everyone wants costs Spurs more than it adds — and that Marmoush can score 20 this season. Jim and Enya walk through what a De Zerbi number nine actually does, Marmoush's first games in detail, why the missing piece is a creative 10 rather than a target man, and the breaking Mudryk injury news that changes the winger picture. Then a full Everton preview: cracking the Moyes low block, score predictions, and Tel's breakthrough moment. They also get into whether De Zerbi has quietly lost authority over team selection — and once you hear the biomechanics discussion, you'll understand why Spurs players are suddenly sipping cherry juice.

Today on the Casual Cattle Conversations podcast, Shaye interviews Corteva pasture specialist, Rachel Walker, about prioritizing fall weed control to maximize usable forage and extend grazing days. Walker explains that winter-emerging weeds like plantain, thistles, and poison hemlock should be treated in fall when young, using options such as DuraCor and UltiGraze.   She describes DuraCor's two-actives approach and notes grazing is allowed, with hay sales restrictions depending on state. They discuss why weed control matters in drought and for preventing livestock losses to toxic plants, and how improved control can reduce hay feeding and enable adding diverse grasses and clover. Walker recommends frequent soil testing and taking advantage of free forage testing, and adds fall brush control timing guidance.  Learn more about Corteva solutions here: RangeAndPasture.com/CattleConversations    Catch more conversations like this one and learn more at https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/     00:00 Fall Weed Control Urgency  01:10 Meet Rachel Walker  02:43 Drought and Hay Outlook  04:07 Grazing Longer Into Winter  06:19 Targeting Winter Weeds  10:21 Why Weed Control Matters  14:09 UltiGraze and Soil Testing  16:39 Forage Testing and Nutrition  18:23 Clover Integration With NovaGraze  20:16 Brush Control Timing

Yon says the Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed and argues conflicts are interconnected, predicting flashpoints including the Falklands/Malvinas involving Argentina, possible spillover into Brazil and Uruguay, and wider fighting affecting Europe and the North Sea. He emphasizes hydraulic warfare, describing how dams on the Nile (GERD in Ethiopia), Euphrates (Atatürk Dam), Tigris (Mosul Dam), and China's Three Gorges could be used for famine and destruction. He also discusses Tibet/Nepal flood events, chokepoints like Suez, Gibraltar/Ceuta, Bab-el-Mandeb, Panama, and Malacca, plus language, migration, intoxicants, music, demographic, and economic warfare. 00:00 Morning Intro in Japan 00:32 Baby Due Soon 01:38 Kiri Tree Tradition 04:16 Hormuz and Global War 05:48 South Atlantic Flashpoints 08:15 Nepal Disaster and Tibet 13:24 Hydraulic Warfare Explained 15:13 Egypt and the Nile Dams 29:45 Turkey Iraq and China Dams 34:28 Prayer Wheel Spycraft 36:35 Local Flood Risks and Drought 38:53 Ceuta Flashpoint 39:32 Gibraltar Chokepoint History 41:16 Phosphate Power Politics 41:43 Global Chokepoints Strategy 45:05 Florida And Brazil Predictions 48:22 Ceuta Migrants As Weapon 51:32 Language Warfare Morocco 56:27 Books Burned And Forecasts 59:17 Safe Havens And Zionism 01:02:49 Cults And Empire Origins 01:05:51 Warfare Taxonomy Explained 01:12:36 Corporate Superstructure Wrap 01:15:01 Closing Thanks And Anecdote

Episode 6 of Rethinking EHS, Season 3 focuses on water-related infrastructure resilience and how organisations can prepare for more frequent and severe climate-induced water risks. Across the UK, India and Switzerland, the discussion shows that resilience challenges take different forms — from surface-water and coastal flooding to drought, intense downpours, glacier melt and slope instability. A recurring lesson is that infrastructure can no longer be planned as isolated assets or designed only around historical climate records; connected systems and cascading failures must be considered. Looking ahead, the guests emphasise proactive, pre-event planning: integrating climate risk assessments into asset management, combining engineered and nature-based solutions, improving forecasting and monitoring, learning across regions, and mapping supply-chain exposure. The goal is not simply to withstand the next event, but to keep essential services operating, recover quickly and remain fit for purpose over the full design life. --- Guest quotes: Alex Perryman: “So I'd say in the UK we're talking about the whole spectrum, like too much water, too little water and everything in between and the quality of it, the availability of it, how efficiently we use it and how we reuse it even as a resource.” Michalis Lellis: “Climate conditions are changing and infrastructure that was once considered resilient may no longer provide the same level of protection in the future.” --- Sponsor Copy Rethinking EHS is brought to you by the Inogen Alliance.

As climate change makes life harsher, I'm thinking a lot about what I can do, together with my local plants and animals, to respond. Here, that looks like planting a lot of different things, annuals and especially perennials, edible leaves, tubers, and seeds. I hope that lots of different plants will mean more resilience. If a drought wipes out the corn, there's still a good chance that the papaya, nopales, and passionfruit will survive. Adapting to climate change looks like keeping the soil covered and protected, chopping down weeds as compost and mulch, sharing seeds and plants with family, friends, and neighbors. Even if our crops fail, hopefully someone else's will make it through. It looks like planting not just food but also habitat for the animals that have no escape from the wild weather. And sometimes, after pouring months of sweat and love and aspirations into this earth, I have no choice but to step away for a week and a half in a drought, and hope. The less help these plants need from me, the better-equipped we'll be for the unknown of the months ahead. I depend on the support of you, my listeners, to continue doing this work.

Jeremy Zakis reports on the looming weather crisis in Australia, where meteorologists predict a "super El Niño" combined with a positive Indian Ocean Dipole. This rare combination is expected to cause extreme drought and record-breaking temperatures in New South Wales and Victoria. Zakis warns that a wet winter has fueled rampant eucalyptus growth, creating a massive volume of flammable oils. These conditions have "primed" the landscape for catastrophic wildfires. Residents are being urged to clear undergrowth immediately, as the upcoming fire season could surpass the severity of the devastating 2020–2021 bushfires. (12)

Winter in Colorado looked very different this year. Many parts of the state experienced record-high temperatures and record-low snowpack, which had downstream effects on farming, sports, tourism, and more. For those economies and livelihoods that rely on snow, what happens when snow becomes unreliable? And can we prepare for it? Producer Kathleen Davis speaks with Halle Zander, news director at Aspen Public Radio, about how this is playing out in Aspen. Then, environmental historian Mike Childers talks us through how Colorado's economies may need to adjust. Guests: Halle Zander is the news director at Aspen Public Radio. Dr. Mike Childers is an associate professor of environmental history at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Transcript will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
