Did you know that we are a B Corp? 🚀 Probably. We’re pretty proud of it! For those of you who don’t know. Being a B Corp means we’ve met an ambitious set of business standards that are better for people and the planet. 🌎 At Sol Simple, we believe that B Corp certification is just the beginning, not the end of our journey to better business. That’s why we have increased the number of Regenerative Organic Certified® smallholder farmers we partner with from 138 in 2019 to 387. And we plan to help more smallholder farmers become Regenerative Organic Certified® in the coming years. We are continuously striving to create a positive social and environmental impact.

🌟 Happy Thanksgiving, y'all! 🦃🍂 As we gather to celebrate, there’s even more reason to reflect on the importance of how our food is grown — not just for our planet, but for the health and well-being of what we share at the table. A recent study from Utah State University, commissioned by Regenified™ and Diestel Family Ranch, is a perfect reminder. It shows that turkeys raised with regenerative farming practices don’t just improve soil health 🌱; they’re also nutritionally superior. These birds boast better omega-3 profiles, more antioxidants, and higher levels of vitamins and minerals compared to conventionally raised turkeys. Regenerative agriculture focuses on healing the land through techniques like rotational grazing, reduced tilling, and cover crops. This creates a win-win: healthier ecosystems 🌍 lead to more nutrient-dense food for all of us. These benefits don’t stop with turkeys — similar results have been seen in regenerative beef and other products. It’s inspiring to see brands like Diestel Family Ranch leading the way, proving that better farming practices can make a tangible difference for our health and our planet. This holiday season, let’s think about how our food choices support a sustainable future 🌟. Cheers to healthier soils, healthier foods, and a brighter tomorrow! 🙌 #HappyThanksgiving #RegenerativeAgriculture #Sustainability #FoodForTheFuture #SoilHealth https://lnkd.in/gzn4zj-H

Access to quality food is one of the big three sustainability issues to be addressed in 2024. The others being water and soil. All three should figure high in the elections - when they're announced - and if they don't I would urge you to lobby your favoured candidate to review their manifesto promises. Without addressing these three key issues, our economy, our environment, and society will all be worse off. They underpin most aspects of our lives and will be crucial in future international relations and trade. Do read Ali Morpeth (RNutr) post and learn Dayna Brackley's three (she sneaks in a fourth) policy asks ... it's that final one which could unlock a more secure and resilient food and farming sector for the UK. #Sustainability #Food #Nutrition #Election #Environment #Community #inclusion #FoodPoverty #Farming #Resilience #Procurement

The Southeastern US may be a current “cold spot” for #organic, but there are also organic opportunities. * This is my final recap from the “Tuskegee Convening” last weekend. As a reminder, or if you haven’t seen my other posts: CLIF, FFAR, Tuskegee, and the Organic Center gathered ~60 stakeholders to discuss how we can cultivate a better future for organic in the Southeastern US. Over 3 days, we got to know one another and discussed the current state of organic, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Let’s end on a hopeful note! * For all its challenges, our stakeholders also identified opportunities for organic in the Southeast: ❤️👩🏾🌾 Values-Based Procurement —> Some companies have goals to purchase materials grown organically or regeneratively or to support BIPOC or minority growers. —> Organic in the Southeast can check a lot of these boxes. —> There are a lot of folks farming organically without being certified. They can also tap into a values-based procurement network. 🤝👩🏾🌾 Cooperatives and Partnerships —> Cooperatives don’t have to become formal “cooperatives” to serve their members —> Groups of smallholder farmers can come together to pool resources and collectively sell to bigger customers. —> This spirit of partnership and care already exists in BIPOC farming communities. In some cases, it just needs a little boost to improve efficiency. 💡👧🏾 Youth Engagement —> Young folks are showing great interest in their food and where it comes from. —> They’re willing to try new things and are hungry for healthier options. Organic could meet this need, leveraging their curiosity and enthusiasm to convert their older family members. 📢 👩🏽🌾 Community- centered Communications —> Culturally-competent messaging is a must. One-on-one, face-to-face meetings, in the field, are more effective than email. —> For many BIPOC communities, trust building must happen before anything else can take place. ——> Representation matters. ❤️🥕🥬 Health and Food Access —> Improving access to organic food, and reducing reliance on processed food, will be critical to improving health outcomes in the Southeast. * I loved my time in Alabama. Talk about food for the soul! Thanks again to all who attended, for sharing so openly and earnestly, and for your continued commitment to more sustainable agriculture. We’ll be back. * #SustainableAgriculture

Food Day: Reviving Underutilized Crops for a Sustainable Future As the global population continues to rise, the demand for food increases, yet the limited germplasm of major food crops restricts production. This is where alternative crops come in—once widely grown, many of these crops are now nearing extinction due to low recognition and cultivation. The Society of Underutilized Legumes was established to revive these crops and promote their role in supporting sustainability and food security. Today, at the exhibition stand of the 6th International Conference and Stakeholders Meeting of the Society of Underutilized Legumes, hosted by GRC IITA, we showcased delicious snacks made from Bambara groundnut and winged beans—including cookies, chinchin, akara chips, okpa, bread, moimoi, porridge, and cake. This demonstrates the incredible potential of these underutilized crops and highlights the urgent need to revive and promote them for sustainable food production. On this World Food Day, let's give a shout-out to the researchers, breeders, and farmers who work tirelessly to prevent famine and ensure a sustainable future. Let’s ensure we put all hands on deck to prevent our ancient crops from going into total extinction. #WorldFoodDay #SocietyofUnderutilizedcrop #GeneticResourceCenterInternationalInstituteOfTropicalAgriculture
