🐓 Shocks from avian flu, drought, and inflation have exposed vulnerabilities in animal protein supply chains.

🌱 A new report from FAIRR investor network urges major food manufacturers and retailers to expand their plant-based offerings as a strategy for supply chain stability and long-term growth.
Investors call for more plant-based proteins from food manufacturers and retailers: FAIRR
Food companies must address risks in the meat industry related to both changing consumer preference trends and supply chain vulnerabilities.

This new map from Faunalytics shows how antimicrobial resistance spreads through a complex web that connects farmed animals, their manure, soil, water, crops, and humans.

One way to help break the cycle? Diversifying the protein supply with meat, eggs, and dairy produced without animals.

The latest season of “How We Survive,” a podcast about the business of climate solutions, is all about food and agriculture—including the biggest contributor to ag emissions: meat.

👇 Check it out👇
Would you eat meat created in a petri dish?

On the season premiere of “How We Survive," we go on a food tour around Northern California to find out how tech entrepreneurs are finding new ways to make foods that are under threat from the impacts of the climate crisis.
