In this Industry Insight episode of the On Aon podcast, Aon leaders Liz Henderson and Susan Doering examine how climate risk is redefining decision-making across the food, agribusiness and beverage (FAB) sector — and what it takes to stay ahead. Rather than viewing climate as a standalone exposure, the conversation frames it as a force shaping pricing stability, operational continuity and workforce strategy. Liz and Susan discuss how organizations can translate insight into action by strengthening data capabilities, aligning cross-functional priorities and deploying innovative risk transfer solutions. The focus is not only on managing disruption, but on unlocking greater certainty, protecting margin and positioning for long-term growth. Key Takeaways:   Climate risk is reshaping core business functions — from supply and pricing to talent — requiring leaders to embed it into enterprise decision-making, not manage it at the margins. Leading organizations are accelerating the shift to analytics-led strategies to help guide investment, inform planning and create confidence in uncertain conditions. Collaboration across the value chain — coupled with more sophisticated risk transfer solutions — is enabling organizations to stabilize supply, protect capital and pursue growth with greater certainty. Experts in this episode:    Liz Henderson, Global Head of Climate Risk Advisory, Aon Susan Doering, Global Food, Agribusiness and Beverage Leader and Enterprise Client Leader, Aon Key Moments:   (02:00) Why climate risk is no longer a standalone issue — and how it is amplifying supply chain disruption, pricing volatility and workforce pressures across the FAB sector. (07:30) A real-world example showing how climate shifts are already changing harvest timelines, crop quality and long-standing production practices. (15:30) What leadership looks like in practice — investing in analytics, aligning long-term planning and adopting new risk transfer approaches to create stability and support growth.   Soundbites:   Liz Henderson:  “At Aon, we like to think about climate as a risk amplifier rather than a standalone thing that you have to manage independently. It is a thread across all of those risk categories. And yet there's so much of the industry that remains unprotected.” Susan Doering:  “I'd like to make sure that people are thinking about it, not just as like when we think about climate risk, we often think it's about just impacts to physical assets. But really what we're seeing now is real issues around pricing volatility, so lack of predictable ingredient prices and quality impacts for specialty crops.” Key Resources: 2026 Climate and Catastrophe Insight report

V. Sheree Williams didn't set out to build a legacy — she set out to tell stories. But over a decade of centering Black chefs, food culture, and the African diaspora through Cuisine Noir, that's exactly what she's done. In this conversation, Sheree takes us inside the origin of Cuisine Noir — from Chef Richard Pannell's 1998 vision to the digital reimagining she launched on September 1, 2009 of the first media outlet in the U.S. to pioneer Black food media — at a time when Black food stories were essentially nonexistent in mainstream media. She gets real about advertising dollars, the difference between preserving and amplifying, and why she founded the Global Food and Drink Initiative to carry the work even further. This is a conversation about legacy, integrity, and what it means to stay true to your mission.

From tiny Parisian dinner parties to becoming one of the most recognisable food voices on television, this week we sit down with the incredible Rachel Khoo for a deeply honest, funny and nostalgic conversation about food, identity and building a creative life from scratch. Rachel takes us back to the beginning — leaving London with barely any money, studying pastry at Le Cordon Bleu, hustling her way through Paris and eventually creating the now legendary Little Paris Kitchen. We talk about the highs and heartbreaks of television, cookbook publishing, and why she decided to self-publish her powerful new memoir.This episode is packed with unbelievable stories: Austrian mountain summers fuelled by butter and strudel, Malaysian family feasts in 1980s Bromley, breakdancing crews in Paris, and the reality of building a career in food before Instagram existed. Rachel opens up about the challenges of working in TV, navigating rejection, motherhood whilst filming Bake Off Australia, and why meaningful hospitality matters more than fancy food. There's also plenty of talk about pastries, Swedish comfort food, Paris markets, cookbook politics and the restaurants she keeps returning to after all these years.Alongside one of the most fascinating food journeys we've ever heard, Rachel also gives us her ultimate go-to meals, favourite bakeries in Paris, dream dim sum orders and the philosophy behind hosting unforgettable dinner parties. It's warm, hilarious, emotional and full of wisdom for anyone chasing a creative dream. Rachel Khoo is every bit as brilliant as you hope she'll be — and this might be one of our favourite conversations we've ever recorded.The Smallest Restaurant in Paris - A memoir by Rachel Khoo £18.99 available at all good bookshops - https://geni.us/order_TRSPWatch and Subscribe To Our Youtube Videos Here - https://www.youtube.com/@gotofoodGet 2 Months of Blinq For Free - With Code - GOTOBLINQ - https://blinqme.com/Order The Greatest Meat In The Country From HG Walter Here & Have Restaurant Quality Meals From Home - www.hgwalter.com Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Global Food Talk, we explore how innovation, technology, and partnerships can strengthen plant health and build more resilient food systems in a time of climate pressure and growing global demand.You will hear insights from William Sutton, Global Lead for Climate and Nature at the World Bank, who explains why resilience, climate smart investments, and international cooperation are becoming essential to future food production.The conversation then turns to Denmark, where Jesper Burgaard from KMC, a Danish potato cooperative, and Troels Nørgaard from Sejet Plant Breeding, a Danish crop development company, share how data, AI, plant breeding, and new genomic technologies are helping farmers adapt to climate change, improve yields, reduce inputs, and strengthen crop resilience.Through concrete examples, from drone-based crop analysis to potato varieties with the potential to reduce pesticide use by up to 80 percent, the episode highlights how collaboration and innovation can help build more sustainable and competitive food systems.

Global food production is being threatened by an interruption to the supply of fertiliser, according to the boss of one of the world's biggest fertiliser producers. Fertiliser is something that farmers put on fields to help plants grow.When the United States and Israel struck Iran on 28 February, the Strait of Hormuz, which is a narrow waterway between Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Oman, effectively shut down. About one-third of the world's fertiliser trade normally passes through the strait.Less fertiliser means less food is grown, and if there is less food available, then prices rise.The UN World Food Programme estimates that the Middle East conflict could cause 45 million additional people to experience severe hunger in 2026.Learn about the news in a level of English you can understand with Neil and Georgie.

The interruption to supplies of fertiliser and its key ingredients due to the war in Iran could cost up to 10 billion meals a week globally and will hit poorest countries hardest, according to the boss of one of the world's biggest fertiliser producers. Svein Tore Holsether, chief executive of Yara, told the BBC that hostilities in the Gulf, which have blocked shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, are jeopardising global food production.Also in the programme: Ukraine has been stepping up its campaign against Russia's oil industry; and is fish fraud affecting one of Britain's national dishes?(Picture: Workers carry fertiliser bags to be mixed with water at a farm's irrigation centre.

For weeks, we've talked about the food side of the Strait of Hormuz story — not just oil, not just gas prices, but the fertilizer, the shipping routes, the diesel, the natural gas, the basic inputs that keep the global food system moving.

With talks between the US and Iran falling apart, there will be renewed focus this week on the Strait of Hormuz, getting it open and restoring traffic. Nearly all the focus so far as been on the energy part of the trade equation, the amount crude oil being able to transit the bottleneck. But there is another key set of commodities that are likewise being held back, and most people don't realize just how big this is. Energy shock, yes, there is also a growing food shock.  Eurodollar University's conversation w/Steve Van MetreWhat is a Eurodollar University membership?

In a region known for its export of oil, Monarchies of Extraction: The Gulf States in the Global Food System (Cambridge UP, 2026) explores how the Gulf states are simultaneously defined by the importation of food. Charting the economics and politics of the Gulf through an examination of its food system, Christian Henderson demonstrates how these states constitute a distinct social metabolism within the global food system. Starting with the pre-oil phase, this book examines the politics of agrarian change in the Gulf. In the contemporary period, Henderson considers the way that the Gulf states have evolved into 'inverted farms', where the import of prodigious quantities of agricultural commodities has enabled these economies to overcome their lack of arable land. As a result of this trade, states such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia have developed their own agribusiness sectors. Henderson further shows how food and consumption in the Gulf states constitute political questions of diet, sustainability, and boycott. Christian Henderson is a lecturer at the University of Leiden. His research focuses on the Arab region, with a particular focus on Gulf investment in the states of North Africa and the Levant, rural development and business politics. Alongside his academic work, he has worked as a journalist in Lebanon and with Al Jazeera in Qatar. Alec Fiorini is a PhD student at Queen Mary University London's Centre for Labour, Sustainability and Global Production (CLaSP) researching the political economy of nitrogen fertilizer supply chains.

The US-Israeli war on Iran and the resultant fuel shortages are already negatively impacting the global economy. One aspect that isn't gaining much attention is the impact of the war on an already fragile food system. Shortages and the rising prices of oil, fertilizer and pesticides are forcing farmers to make difficult choices and will lead to food scarcity this Fall. To understand where we are and what we can do to support food security, Clearing the FOG speaks with Kayla Dones of DD Geopolitics and Lauren Borsheim, a food policy analyst for Food and Water Watch who has been tracking the new Farm Bill legislation.

#193 Rückstände & Kontaminanten: Auf was aktuell zu achten ist Inhalt: Rückstände und Kontaminanten dominieren die Meldungen im RASFF – doch wie bleibt man im betrieblichen Alltag wirklich auf dem aktuellen Stand? In dieser Folge teilt Dr. Norbert Kolb, Experte im Qualitätsmanagement mit über 30 Jahren Erfahrung in Lieferantenaudits, sein praxiserprobtes Wissen. Er erklärt, welche Informationsquellen unverzichtbar sind, wie der rechtliche Rahmen zu verstehen ist und wie Unternehmen Wareneingangskontrolle, Supply Chain Management und Lieferantenaudits so aufstellen, dass Risiken frühzeitig erkannt und minimiert werden. Diese Folge ist ein Ausschnitt aus einem Webinar der BEHR'S Akademie. Die wichtigsten Themen dieser Folge Informationsquellen strukturiert nutzen: Wer im Unternehmen wertet welche Quellen wie oft aus? EFSA, BfR, Verbände, beauftragte Laboratorien, RASFF und das EU Knowledge Center for Global Food and Nutrition Security liefern wertvolle Frühwarnsignale – wenn sie regelmäßig und systematisch gesichtet werden. Rechtlicher Rahmen im Überblick: Die EU-Kontaminantenverordnung 2023/915 wurde allein 2025 dreimal geändert. Dazu kommen Einzelverordnungen (z. B. für Ochratoxin und Cadmium) sowie regelmäßig aktualisierte Rückstandshöchstmengen (MRLs). Nur die jeweils gültige Fassung zählt. Rückstand vs. Kontaminante – ein wichtiger Unterschied: Ein Rückstand entsteht durch aktive Anwendung (Pflanzenschutzmittel, Biozide wie BAC/DDAC – geregelt in der Verordnung 396). Eine Kontaminante gelangt unbeabsichtigt ins Produkt (z. B. Mykotoxine durch Schimmelpilze). Bei Kontaminanten gilt das ALARA-Prinzip: so niedrig wie vernünftigerweise möglich. Proaktiv vorgehen – Trends früh erkennen: EFSA-Studien kündigen spätere Rechtsänderungen an. Das Beispiel Acetamiprid zeigt es: Nach toxikologischen Betrachtungen der EFSA (2024) folgten 2025 gleich zwei MRL-Anpassungen. Wer EFSA-Newsroom und Funding & Tender Portal im Blick behält, ist frühzeitig informiert. Wareneingangskontrolle und Monitoring als Kreislauf: Gefahrenanalyse, Risikobewertung und Monitoringplan müssen dynamisch sein und sich gegenseitig aktualisieren – auf Basis gesetzlicher Änderungen und eigener Erkenntnisse. Verpackungsmittel werden dabei häufig unterschätzt: Auch über sie können Pflanzenschutzmittelrückstände und Weichmacher ins Produkt gelangen. Lieferantenaudits professionell planen und durchführen: Gute Auditplanung umfasst Zeitplan, Unterlieferanten, Dienstleister, Logistik und – bei internationalen Reisen – Visum, Kultur und Reiserücktrittsoptionen. Abweichungen werden direkt vor Ort besprochen und schriftlich dokumentiert. Kundenanfragen souverän managen: Anfragen des Handels zu Rückständen und Kontaminanten ernst nehmen, datenbasiert und sachlich antworten, Termine zuverlässig einhalten oder Änderungen kommunizieren. Alles schriftlich festhalten. Timestamps für Schnellhörer 00:37 – Einleitung: Vorstellung von Dr. Norbert Kolb und seiner Expertise 02:10 – Informationsquellen: Wer wertet was aus – und wie oft? 03:44 – Die EFSA-Webseite als Frühwarnsystem für kommende Rechtsänderungen 06:34 – EU-Kontaminantenverordnung 2023/915: häufige Änderungen im Blick behalten 07:59 – Rückstand vs. Kontaminante: Definitionen und ALARA-Prinzip 09:51 – Rapid Alert Meldungen (RASFF): tägliches Handwerkszeug im QM 10:45 – Mykotoxine und ihre Abbauprodukte: EU Knowledge Center als Informationsquelle 14:28 – Supply Chain Management: Gefahrenanalyse, Risikobewertung, Monitoringplan 14:57 – Verpackungsmittel als unterschätzte Gefahrenquelle 16:18 – Umgang mit Kundenanfragen: strukturiert, datenbasiert, schriftlich 19:39 – Lieferantenaudits: Planung, Durchführung und Nachbereitung aus 30 Jahren Praxis Unser Experte Dr. Norbert Kolb Experte für Qualitätsmanagement, Lieferantenaudits & Rückstände/Kontaminanten Viele Jahre tätig bei der Worlée Naturprodukte GmbH; Mitglied in deutschen und europäischen Industrieverbänden mit Leitungsfunktionen; heute weltweit als Berater und Auditor tätig.

Food Fight: How The Global Food Industry's Greed Is Killing Humanity Nutrition expert Stuart Gillespie has spent decades uncovering how the same system that causes hunger also fuels obesity – the global food industry.

Did you know that Ukraine is the fourth largest corn exporter globally? This is not the beginning of a Soviet joke. . . Ukraine plays a crucial role on the world food market. About sixty percent of its exports are agricultural products with destinations in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Ukraine also accounts for around one-sixth of the world wheat and barley markets and a staggering half of the world's supply of sunflower oil. But Ukrainian agribusiness is under stress. Soviet and post-Soviet legacies abound. Climate change and depleted soil pose long term obstacles. And Russia's invasion has only increased the calamity thanks to destruction, theft, and environmental damage. How do things look at the moment? In the fourth event in our Eurasian Environments series, the Eurasian Knot spoke to Susanne Wengle and Natalia Mamonova about Ukraine's past and present place in the global food system, the impact of the war, and the prospects of renewal and recovery. Guests:Susanne Wengle is professor of Russian and Eurasian studies at Uppsala University and associate professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame. Her most recent book is Black Earth, White Bread: A Technopolitical History of Russian Agriculture and Food published by the University of Wisconsin Press.Natalia Mamonova is a senior researcher at RURALIS - Institute for Rural and Regional Research, Norway. Her current research at RURALIS mainly focuses on the impact of the war in Ukraine on the Ukrainian and global food systems.Send us your sounds! PatreonKnotty News Hosted on Acast.

Are food allergies higher in the West than the East? UK-based listener Jude wants to know the answer. Her daughter-in-law Min didn't know anyone with food allergies when she was growing up in South Korea and thinks that they're not so common there. Host Alex Lathbridge investigates. Along the way, he finds out what makes us sensitive to food allergies and how much that depends on our environment. He volunteers to have an allergy test, learns what triggers food allergies and tries to discover what lies behind their increase around the world. Alex talks to some of the leading experts on food allergies in search for an answer to our listener's question: Paul Turner breaks down what happens in our bodies when we have an allergic reaction; Jennifer Koplin explains why Australia tops the league table for food allergies and Michael Levin reveals what he found out in his ground-breaking research in South Africa comparing urban and rural populations. We also hear from Hana Ayoob, who grew up in Singapore and the UK, who describes what it's like to suffer from multiple food allergies and describes the difference in cultural attitudes. Finally, we turn to Sooyoung Lee in South Korea to see if our listeners are right about the difference in rates for food allergies between East and West.

There is currently a war being waged against America that threatens the very liberty of our nation — and it's one you might not expect. It's not the war on free speech or freedom of religion. It's the war on beef. Who better to discuss this war than American cattle rancher Shad Sullivan? Shad is the R-CALF USA Private Property Rights Committee chair. In this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Shad and Glenn discuss the “war on beef” and why it matters to everyday Americans. Shad explains the issues with California's Prop 2 and Prop 12 and how they impact the whole country. He delves into the problems with sustainable development and the collusion between global elites and mega corporations — particularly the partnership between USDA, Farm Journal, agricultural schools, and producers. He warns against plans to reduce meat consumption, explaining that “millions would starve OVERNIGHT” under global sustainability initiatives. But it's not all doom and gloom. Shad has suggestions on how Americans can stand up to the anti-meat agenda — and they start with the Constitution.
