Hi everybody. Do you know what have been some of the biggest changes in food manufacturing and retailing since COVID arrived? How about what kinds of opportunities that might be creating for YOU whether right now.. or in the near future? If this of interest to you, you'll definitely want to hear what myguest expert, Phil Lempert, the Supermarket Guru, has to say on this episode of Looking Forward: Opportunities for Job, Career, Business, and Investment Seekers.Among other things, Phil talks about (1) how supply chain issues have changed the way food retailers are obtaining their products, (2) one key difference between food retailers and manufacturers in the U.S., and in some other parts of the world, most notably Europe and Australia, (3) one country in Latin America who's really reining in sugar consumption, and (4) what direction food retailing might take over the next few years, including how it may tie in with the "15-minute" city concept he mentions. In true Looking Forward fashion, you'll also learn about the wide array of opportunities Phil sees not only in the food business (e.g., for entrepreneurs and food technologists), but elsewhere, too. And, of course, you'll get some great tips from Phil on how you can prepare yourself to capitalize on these opportunities.

But a farmer from Alabama talking to a farmer from Kenya is one of the most exciting conversations you can ever watch take place. And you can say Alabama to California. You can say China, talking about hog production from Iowa to Beijing. I mean, farmers, talking to farmers about those things, it's so inspiring for farmers to be able to take part in those conversations. What we did was we looked at this issue around hunger, we looked at this issue around technology sharing and education and information sharing, and we created a platform in AgWiki to help do that. That was the goal.” - Randy KrotzEpisode Timestamps(02:17) Randy's role(06:47) His industry background(10:47) Small ag versus big ag(14:17) The importance of healthy soil(19:41) Addressing hunger through AgWiki(22:20) How farmers benefit from global discussion(25:19) Developing the future of AgWiki(32:07) Activating communities to make change(39:42) Quick hitsLinksRandy Krotz's LinkedInAgWikiPhil Dillard's LinkedInThruline Networks

James Moll produced "Farmland", a documentary about six farmers and ranchers from across the United States. The funding for the film came from the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance but Moll says he had complete editorial control. The film had its debut on Thursday, April 14 at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. Five of the farmers featured in the film attended the gala event. Moll is a very high profile film maker for this type of project. He has academy award credits to his name but says he had never been on a farm until he produced "Farmland". His point of view remains understated as he says he wanted the farmers to speak for themselves and tell about their industry and affection for their livelihood and lifestyle.James MollJamesMoll.jpeg

There are no shortage of opinions about how food should be produced. Often these differing views don't listen to each other. Recently the Ohio Farm Bureau, the Ohio Soybean Council and the US Farmers and Ranchers Alliance participated in an event to create a civil discussion about food.
