Meer productie, efficiëntie en optimalisatie is waar ons voedselsysteem al decennia op draait. Dat het piept en kraakt weet iedereen: bodems putten uit, biodiversiteit neemt af en gezond eten is niet vanzelfsprekend. Een fundamentele vraag ligt op tafel die de sector het liefst vermijdt: wat is eigenlijk écht goed voedsel? In deze Voedselpraat met VMT duiken we erin. Aan tafel zitten Volkert Engelsman, oprichter van Eosta en tegenwoordig actief met de Robin Food Coalition en Resilience Hub, en Maarten Molenaar, werkzaam bij DO IT Organic op het snijvlak van kwaliteit en duurzaamheid én beginnen theoloog. Engelsman als uitgesproken systeemdenker en pleitbezorger van true pricing en biologische landbouw, Molenaar vanuit de praktijk van QA, aangevuld met een uitgesproken visie over rentmeesterschap over de planeet. Twee verschillende achtergronden, maar één gedeelde vraag: wat is er nog ‘goed' in onze voedselsector?

Česká vláda trvá na snižování výdajů na zbrojení. Režisér, scenárista a major v záloze Václav Marhoul proto rozděluje politiky podle toho, zda vidí v Rusku hrozbu, a připomíná, že současná opozice se Moskvě podvolovat nechce. „Ale kroky SPD, ty bych nazval pomalu zkorumpovanou kolaborací. Podlézají Rusku a snaží se torpédovat obranyschopnost České republiky,“ tvrdí v Osobnosti Plus.Všechny díly podcastu Osobnost Plus můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Celkový objem výpadku z verejných zdrojov na Slovensku v oblastiach kultúry, ochrany ľudských práv, životného prostredia a rozvojovej pomoci za roky 2024 a 2025 sa odhaduje na úrovni 16 miliónov eur.

Pakt o migrácii a azyle predstavuje zásadnú reformu systému riadenia migrácie a azylu v Európskej únii. Reforma prináša nové konania, nové povinnosti, ale aj nové otázky. V časoch, keď sa systémy snažia byť rýchlejšie a efektívnejšie, sa ešte viac ukazuje potreba nezabúdať na tých najzraniteľnejších, deti, osoby so zdravotným postihnutím, obete násilia či traumy. Preto sa Liga za ľudské práva rozhodla na Fóre o integrácii 2026 tieto dve témy prepojiť.

Rent increases in Quebec just got a major overhaul for the first time in decades, and this renewal season is the first real test. In this episode, Axel Monsaingeon sits down with Cory Friedman to break down what changed, what stayed the same, and where landlords and operators can get burned if their bookkeeping is not airtight. You will learn how the new framework uses a three year rolling CPI average, how capital expenses can now play a bigger role in allowable increases, and why taxes and insurance only help you when they rise faster than CPI. Cory also explains the real world problem behind the reform, the TAL backlog, and why today's leasing market makes renewals more strategic than ever. If you manage multifamily in Quebec, this is the renewal playbook to stay compliant, protect cash flow, and avoid expensive turnover.   Topics & Timestamps

I gamle dage drog europæiske opdagelsesrejsende ud i verden for at lære noget og kortlægge verden. Navne som Columbus, Magellan, Cook og Nansen er i den europæiske histories Hall of Fame. I sommeren 2025 drog en ny ekspedition ud i verden med den hensigt at blive klogere på verden og os selv. Målet var ikke guld eller handelsruter og togtplanen indeholdt ikke sydhavsøer eller poler. I stedet var turens mål vores eget lille Danmark, og formålet var formidle og diskutere viden. I dette afsnit af Kampen om historien taler Asser Amdisen med historiker Nils Valdersdorf og sømand og arkitekt Kristian Hansen om Danmarksekspeditionen 2025, og om hvad vi kan bruge historien til.

What if the skills you built in real estate could unlock success in any business?   In this episode, I sit down again with Bava Srinivasan to explore his leap from property investing into entrepreneurship across multiple industries. From buying into a downtown Montreal restaurant franchise to acquiring a group home and launching a social media agency, Bava shares how each venture came from curiosity, persistence, and applying lessons he first learned as an investor.   We dive into how real estate training—building teams, managing people, and optimizing systems—translates directly into running businesses. Bava also explains why decision-making speed matters, how failure becomes fuel for growth, and why providing value first is the best way to break into new industries.   Tune in to learn how to spot opportunities beyond real estate, transfer your skills with confidence, and build businesses that create both impact and freedom.   —   Tired of spreadsheets and admin headaches in your rental business?   If you're a real estate investor looking to simplify operations and grow your portfolio, Kompas is your new best friend.

Ingrijpen in het bestaande systeem heeft gevolgen die we niet overzien. De oplossing van vandaag is het probleem van morgen. Komplexe systemen zijn overal.

What if your first rental property became the spark for a much bigger journey?   In this episode, I sit down with Bava Srinivasan to hear how he went from buying his first single-family home in Brossard to building a diverse real estate portfolio across Quebec and the Maritimes. Bava shares how a mindset shift—from consumer to investor—helped him see opportunity differently, and how mentors, community, and creative financing shaped his growth.   We dive into the importance of secondary and tertiary markets, how off-market deals can accelerate progress, and why surrounding yourself with the right team of brokers, property managers, and partners makes all the difference. Bava also opens up about personal development—why discomfort fuels growth, how failure builds resilience, and why every investor should take inventory of themselves along the way.   Tune in to learn how patience, community, and the right mindset can turn a single rental into long-term financial freedom.   —   Tired of spreadsheets and admin headaches in your rental business?   If you're a real estate investor looking to simplify operations and grow your portfolio, Kompas is your new best friend.

What if tenant problems weren't solved with calls—but with clear expectations from day one? In this episode, I sit down again with Cory Friedman to explore the art of tenant management and how landlords can avoid most conflicts before they even start. Cory shares why detailed lease annexes and building rules are essential, how setting expectations upfront creates healthier relationships, and why responsiveness is the number one tool to de-escalate unreasonable requests. We dive into the systems behind managing over 2,000 units, from work orders to accounting, and how Kompas Property Management software was built to turn daily headaches into streamlined workflows. Cory also opens up about his entrepreneurial journey—what he's learned from failure, why he built Kompas as an operator first, and how mindset makes the difference when scaling both a company and a portfolio. Tune in to learn why tenant management is really about trust, structure, and accountability—and how the right systems can help you grow with confidence. — Tired of spreadsheets and admin headaches in your rental business?

What if the housing crisis wasn't just about supply—but about outdated policies holding us back?   In this episode, I unpack the latest OECD report on Canada and what it reveals about housing affordability. From skyrocketing rents and home prices to stagnant incomes, the report paints a sobering picture of why so many Canadians feel locked out of the market. But it also points to solutions we can act on right now.   We dive into zoning barriers, labor shortages, and rising material costs that make development slower and more expensive. I break down why Canada's share of social housing has fallen so sharply, how tax incentives can fuel speculation, and why reforming permitting and supporting construction innovation could be game changers. We also look at lessons from other countries and what coordinated action across all levels of government might look like.   Tune in to hear the real story behind Canada's housing affordability challenge—and what needs to change if we want to make homes accessible again.   —   Read the OECD report here: https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/2025/05/oecd-economic-surveys-canada-2025_ee18a269   —   Tired of spreadsheets and admin headaches in your rental business?   If you're a real estate investor looking to simplify operations and grow your portfolio, Kompas is your new best friend.

Usaha mikro kecil dan menengah (UMKM) lokal asal Sumatera Barat menunjukkan eksistensinya di pasar global. Dengan kualitas produk yang terus meningkat dan semangat inovasi yang tinggi, pelaku UMKM dapat menarik perhatian pasar internasional.L`île Chocolate, berhasil membuktikan bahwa produk lokal juga punya potensi yang besar dan berkesempatan untuk bersaing dalam skala internasional, dalam ajang FHA Food & Beverage 2025 di Singapura, yaitu pameran yang menjadi wadah strategis untuk memperkenalkan produk lokal ke dunia.Dikutip dari Kompas.com, UMKM lokal binaan PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia Tbk (Persero) atau BRI asal Padang, Sumatera Barat (Sumbar) tersebut adalah milik Priscilla Raisa Partana. Ia mengatakan, keikutsertaannya dalam ajang tersebut membuka jalan untuk pertumbuhan usahanya, terutama dalam menjangkau pasar global.L`île Chocolate merupakan bagian dari PT Sumatra Coklat, yaitu sebuah usaha cokelat asal Padang yang mengusung konsep tree-to-bar. Usaha ini mengolah kakao dari hulu ke hilir secara mandiri. Seluruh proses produksi, mulai dari memasok bahan kakao hingga pengemasan akhir, dilakukan di Sumbar dengan melibatkan sejumlah petani lokal sebagai mitra.Meski penuh optimisme saat membangun L`île Chocolate, Priscilla tetap tak luput dari tantangan besar yang sempat membuat usahanya nyaris berhenti total. Situasi tersebut membuat usahanya sempat berada dalam kondisi “mati suri”. Namun Priscilla memilih bertahan dan mencari cara agar bisnisnya bisa kembali bangkit.Dukungan BRI dalam ikut sertanya L`île Chocolate dalam FHA Food & Beverage 2025 Singapura tersebut menjadi langkah strategis yang membawa dampak nyata. Priscilla mengaku bahwa pameran ini berbeda dari event yang biasanya ia ikuti karena produk yang ditampilkan dikurasi ketat oleh BRI bersama Atase Perdagangan Singapura. Hasilnya, buyer yang hadir bukan hanya ramai, melainkan juga berkualitas dan sudah memahami nilai produk yang mereka cari.Pengalaman mengikuti ekspo di Singapura ini meninggalkan kesan positif bagi Priscilla. Menurutnya, kegiatan tersebut tidak hanya bermanfaat dari sisi promosi, tetapi juga dari segi pendampingan dan dukungan yang diberikan. Corporate Secretary BRI Agustya Hendy Bernadi mengatakan bahwa BRI senantiasa berkomitmen menjalankan berbagai program pemberdayaan demi mendorong pertumbuhan UMKM di Indonesia. Dengan dukungan yang tepat, UMKM mampu memperluas cakupan usahanya secara berkelanjutan, meningkatkan daya saing, dan bahkan menembus pasar internasional. Kisah pelaku UMKM L`île Chocolate dari Padang menjadi salah satu cerita sukses pelaku UMKM binaan BRI yang mendapat kesempatan untuk bisa go global dan meningkatkan skala usaha.

What if the most expensive mistake in real estate wasn't the deal you lost—but the one you closed too quickly?   In this episode, I dive into the due diligence process and why it's the single most important step before committing to any investment. We unpack the financial, legal, physical, and market checks that protect you from surprises, and how overlooking even one detail can turn a promising property into a liability.   I break down the common mistakes investors make—like trusting listing rents, skipping environmental checks, or underestimating municipal requirements—and share how to approach due diligence as more than just paperwork. With the right team, the right questions, and a systematic approach, it becomes your best risk management tool.   Tune in to learn how mastering due diligence can save you money, protect your deals, and give you the confidence to move forward with clarity.   —   Tired of spreadsheets and admin headaches in your rental business?   If you're a real estate investor looking to simplify operations and grow your portfolio, Kompas is your new best friend.

What if scaling a real estate empire was less about taking big risks—and more about knowing when to adapt?   In this episode, I take a closer look at Brasswater, the Montreal-based firm that has grown from a startup to managing over 12 million square feet of property in just 10 years. We explore their strategic shift from aggressive value-add acquisitions to a more cautious approach focused on stable, cash-flowing assets, and how they're diversifying beyond Quebec into key Canadian and U.S. markets.   I break down their disciplined build-to-suit development strategy, the advantage of having long-term investor partners, and why they're targeting sectors like industrial and grocery-anchored retail.
