Brno, Apr 13 (BD) Scientists from the Faculty of Agriculture at Mendel University are carrying out tests on a closed farming cycle. In cooperation with a Czech producer of organic food, the experts are developing a new functional food. They plan to turn the waste from the production into a soil substrate and part of the feed for pigs or poultry, thereby returning nutrients to the environment.

We would like to help change peoples thinking. We want to offer farmers a simple and affordable farming model that they could be inspired by, said Sylvie Skalikov, head of the project, from the facultys Institute of Animal Nutrition and Fodder Farming.

The functional food will be created in cooperation with the company Pro-Bio, one of the largest producers of organic food in the Czech Republic. The company farms ecologically on more than 350 hectares of land in Velk Hostrdky, near Beclav.

The food includes pastries, various snacks, porridge and granola, explained Skalikov. We will try different cereals and legumes. The basis can be organic buckwheat, barley, rye, peas or lentils.

The fermentation process is supposed to ensure the nutritional enrichment of the final product. For us, it is a key part of production to create, with the help of microorganisms, a raw material that will have a greater representation of proteins or minerals from a common raw material, said Skalikov. At the same time, thanks to fermentation, these nutrients will be better absorbed by the body.

All of Pro-Bios produce is certified as organic. Mill waste from the processing of cereals and pulses can therefore be safely transformed by scientists into feed for farm animals or returned to the soil as a source of nutrients.

Currently, up to a third of the total amount of raw material ends up as waste during the mill processing.

We are concerned with how to reuse it. Not every raw material will be suitable for feed or as a substrate for the return of nutrients to the soil, said Skalikov.

In the case of feed for pigs or poultry, the main goal is to ensure that the nutrients from the waste are well digestible for the animals. Mill waste is currently being fed to animals. It is not just being thrown away. But the problem is that it is mostly made up of fibre, which is only digested to a limited extent when passing through the digestive system, explained Skalikov.

Experts will therefore try to modify the fibre with the help of microorganisms, so that it is converted into proteins and the waste would thus become a protein component of feed. The farmer would then not have to feed so much soy, for example, which is a common protein feed, but which leaves a relatively significant carbon footprint, she added.

The unused remainder of the raw materials could subsequently be directed to ecologically managed fields. Even with compost, it takes time for the fibre to break down. Our vision is to do it in a somewhat controlled manner and speed up the decomposition process, said Skalikov. Scientists want to combine the resulting substrate with microorganisms that improve the root system and the overall condition of cultivated plants, and in this way return nutrients to the soil and also improve the yield of crops.

MENDELU Researchers Turn Waste From Food Production Into Soil ... - Brno Daily

I am a hunter.

That statement might earn me a dirty look, even a request to leave the party, immediately! Much depends upon the company you keep and where you reside. We lived in England for many years, a country with a long tradition of wealthy landowners on expensive horses hunting foxes with packs of dogs. Surveys showed more than 80% of the population was anti-hunting, so I kept a low profile.

Arriving in Maine 15 years ago was a bit of a shock. On my first visit to a doctors office, a friendly young receptionist asked me if I was ready for hunting season! She launched into a discussion of a planned duck hunt and the coming deer season. It took me a few minutes to recover my equilibrium, feeling like I had landed on a different planet. The ensuing years have convinced me that Maine is a good place for a hunter.

I have written for the Harpswell Heritage Land Trust for more than a decade and more recently for the Anchor, focused on wildlife and the natural world. Despite encouragement from some readers, I have rarely mentioned hunting in print, mostly out of respect for those who may not support the activity for reasons of their own. Recent questions from readers and a discussion with Anchor Editor J.W. Oliver prompted me to lay out the case for hunting. The opinions shared here are mine, and I know some will not agree with me.

When did I begin to hunt? In the 1950s, most people in rural areas were in close communion with the land through farming, and harvesting game was common. My father and uncles loved hunting for rabbits, pheasants, squirrels and white-tailed deer. They were hardworking, blue-collar veterans of World War II and a day afield with younger hunters was cherished by all. It was understood that you skipped school on opening day and the game that fell to our guns landed on the dinner table with pride of place.

Why do I still hunt? That is complicated, like asking a lifelong sailor why she would spend so much money on her rarely used sailboat, or asking a fourth-generation lobsterman why he goes to sea in the face of economic hardships. Many of the passions in our lives are instinctive, so deeply ingrained in our makeup that we rarely question why we persist.

Paleontologists note that humans are hunters to the bottom of our ancient DNA. Evolving in a dangerous world, stalked by saber-toothed tigers and cave bears, men of relatively small stature and light musculature were forced to learn how to hunt for protein and protection. Fortunately, we were blessed with superior brains and the ability to develop tools for an advantage over other predators in the competition for food. Some people opposed to hunting have suggested that there is no reason for people in developed countries to harvest game animals, that enlightened hunters should evolve to focus on protecting animals. This line of thought ignores many realities of todays natural world.

The arrival of Europeans on our shores meant trouble for animal populations. Advancements in firearms technology and gunpowder resulted in enhanced weapons, allowing market hunters to harvest huge numbers of animals with little regard for their populations. We all know about the decimation of species like the American bison and the passenger pigeon, but fortunately, saner minds finally said enough was enough. Farsighted leaders and sportsmen like Theodore Roosevelt, George Shiras and Gifford Pinchot pushed Congress to pass legislation like the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 that regulated hunting seasons and set bag limits, laying the groundwork for what is now known as the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation.

Looking back, we can see the impact of these changes. Americas elk herd rose from 41,000 in 1907 to more than 1 million today. Decimated waterfowl populations recovered to an estimated 44 million. Wild turkeys flourished from 100,000 to more than 7 million today. In each case, these recoveries were heavily supported with funds raised by hunting-related conservation organizations: the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Ducks Unlimited, and the National Wild Turkey Federation.

Today there are dozens of similar organizations boosting ruffed grouse, mule deer, white-tailed deer, American woodcock, wild sheep, and pheasants. The groups work closely with state and federal agencies, including Maines Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Other partners include nongame organizations like the National Wildlife Federation, Maine Audubon, land trusts and forest owners. These coalitions recognize that leveraging biological data, citizen science, public advocacy and lobbying can cut through red tape to complete major land conservation and habitat restoration projects that benefit a myriad of wildlife species, not just game animals.

Hunting participation was falling until the pandemic stimulated interest, resulting in 15 million licensed hunters in America. Each year, national sales of licenses and permits generate more than $900 million, most of it directed to state fish and game departments. Maines sales raise nearly $8 million. Annual fundraising by wildlife conservation groups adds another $450 million.

The biggest source of funding for modern wildlife management results from legislation pushed by sportsmen, the 1937 Pittman-Robertson Act. This created an 11% excise tax on sales of firearms, ammunition and fishing gear, plus 10% on handguns. The funds collected, nearly $1 billion last year, are returned to the states to match proceeds from license sales.

These dollars are critical to maintaining professional staffs in states like Maine, and for managing state-owned recreational land, since most legislatures provide little funding to fish and game departments. Sales of federal duck stamps fund the acquisition and management of wetlands, with more than $1.1 billion raised since 1934.

Who are these hunters? That varies widely, with California having less than 1% of its population going afield and 11% of Mainers holding hunting licenses. The hunting fraternity is aging, with 60% of hunters over 45 years old, jeopardizing ongoing funding for scientific wildlife management. As more people live in (sub)urban communities, they become disconnected from wild areas. There are too many distractions, including video games and social media. In response, hunter groups and state agencies have launched several initiatives to increase participation, for example, introducing novices and young people to hunting, expanded seasons, lower license fees, online hunter safety training programs, mentoring, and youth shooting clubs.

The fastest-growing segment in hunting is women of all ages. Breaking into a male-dominated activity, women are motivated by the challenge and independence of shooting and hunting. The growing demand for local foods plays a part, along with interest in low-fat, low-cholesterol organic food without growth hormones, antibiotics, and preservatives. Young people advocate for reducing beef, pork, and poultry production because of the climate effects of industrial-scale animal husbandry. In just 10 years, thanks to groups like Maine Women Hunters on Facebook, women have risen from 10% to 15% of Maines licensees.

With 154,000 resident hunters in Maine, plus 33,000 nonresidents, there is a huge amount of money spent in pursuit of the harvest. A recent study estimated a total spend of $220 million for hunting in Maine, with an additional financial impact of $140 million around the state. That includes food, lodging, guides, equipment, fuel, souvenirs and sporting gear, enough to support more than 4,000 jobs.

Humans have caused huge imbalances in the natural world, thanks to population expansion and unbridled development. When we intervene in the environment, however well intentioned, it can result in overpopulation and societal problems. When the popularity of fur crashed in the 1980s, raccoons, foxes, skunks and coyotes proliferated, triggering the spread of rabies in the northeastern U.S. (and a harsh death for millions of animals). Excess numbers of white-tailed deer result in thousands of highway accidents and the spread of deadly tick-borne diseases. Despite ongoing efforts to increase the harvest of snow geese in recent decades, their population continues to soar, causing significant damage to fragile habitats in Arctic regions. In most cases, the only effective management strategy available to wildlife professionals is to increase legal hunting opportunities.

Friends have asked if I see a conflict between a love for wildlife and hunting or fishing, especially when I devote so much energy to habitat improvement. This is an issue that every sportsman confronts, particularly when harvesting a creature they have enjoyed watching in other settings. Taking the life of any creature is something that should give a hunter pause, whether for religious, moral or practical reasons. Many novices struggle with the idea of pulling the trigger on their first deer or grouse.

Humans tend to ascribe our own characteristics to nonhuman species, in what is referred to as anthropomorphism. If you find that hard to accept, consider how most people treat their dogs, talking to them, spoiling them, showering them with love, and treating them as full members of the family. It is easy to assume that animals think as we do, react as we do, and experience the same emotions that we experience.

A few presumably well-meaning people have advocated that some animals deserve the same legal rights as humans, while most folks find this ridiculous. One sticking point is where you draw the line there are far more advocates for fur seals and polar bears than there are for rattlesnakes and black widow spiders. You can witness this conflict in the ethical debates about boiling live lobsters, neutering dogs, spring bear hunts, and so on.

I believe in legally harvesting edible species for the table. Game animals, plants and seafood are renewable resources, some of them short-lived. For example, ruffed grouse might live an average of just one year. Every creature on Earth is potential prey for a predator, and all our deaths are certain. Our remains will either nourish predators and scavengers or be returned to the earth for the benefit of other species.

I dispatch game in the most humane manner possible, while understanding that the manner of death for most creatures in nature is anything but quick and humane. I treasure my ability to hunt across America, unlike in so many other countries. We raised our family on game meat and friends relish a tasty meal of goose breasts or moose steaks in our home.

Animal rights groups may attempt to convince the public that hunting is a cruel blood sport pursued by heartless gun nuts with no regard for wildlife. They give the impression that hunters do little for wildlife but tromp through the wild, killing anything that moves. This argument ignores decades of scientific data from the field and the professional opinions of most wildlife biologists.

I freely acknowledge there are bad actors among the hunting community and that some aspects of the sport are open to disagreement. But I know hunting is 98% preparation, scouting, wildlife viewing, camp life, exercising and hard work plus, if you are lucky, about 2% killing. During deer season last fall, I hunted more than 30 days for roughly 200 hours and did not harvest a deer. Yet I call the season a success because I enjoyed so much time afield with friends.

Hunters have options for their harvest if they end up with excess meat. Traditionally we share the bounty with family and friends. Since 1996 in Maine, you may donate meat to food pantries, soup kitchens and homeless shelters. Under national programs like Hunters for the Hungry, you may take your harvest to registered meat processors who are paid to cut and package the product to state specifications. Each year, millions of pounds of nutritious food are donated through these programs.

Hunting has a rich tradition in Maine, especially in rural communities. Families and friends plan months ahead for their time in camp, and drawing a moose tag is cause for celebration. We have open seasons for at least one species from August through February, plus May for turkey hunting. Surveys have shown that more than 90% of Maine residents are positive or neutral on the continuation of hunting. This should not change if the hunting community continues to pursue wild game in an ethical and legal manner, respecting the rights of landowners and the sensibilities of the general public.

HEALTHIER CHOICES MANAGEMENT CORP. ANNOUNCES SUCCESS IN ITS APPEALS OF THE RULINGS IN PATENT INFRINGEMENT ACTION AGAINST PHILIP MORRIS - Yahoo Finance

Theres no doubt, companion animals have become a significant part of most Americans lives. In the late 1980s, more than half of US households had a pet (which was still a significant amount) but in the decades since this has jumped to around 70 percent of households.

For most people (69 million, to give Forbes estimate), their companion animal is a dog, while many others (around 45 million) choose to share their home with cats. But whether you live in a feline- or canine-friendly home (or youre more of a rabbit, gerbil, or guinea pig person), theres one thing most of us pet lovers have in common: we love to spend money on our animals.

In fact, its estimated that over the course of 2021, Americans spent more than $123 billion on their furry (or non-furry) friends. And honestly, it makes sense that we want to treat and take good care of them. Animals give us so much in terms of companionship, love, and energy.

If you want to spoil your companion animal, then one of the best places is, of course, Petco. From vegan treats and eco-friendly toys to everyday necessities for your pets welfare (like biodegradable poop bags), here are our top product picks from the animal-focused retailer.

Chuckit!

If you share your home with a very energetic pooch, then you likely already know that a simple bouncy ball is a great investment. Fun fact: research suggests this is because the ball helps to stimulate a dogs prey drive! If youre looking to add to your canines collection, then this ball from Chuckit! is a great choice. Its long-lasting, bouncy (incredibly important), and made with 40 percent recycled rubber. Plus, it comes in plastic-free packaging.Check it out

Wild One

If youre picking up after your companion animal using bags, then its a good idea to invest in options that dont negatively impact the planet. Plastic can take centuries to biodegrade, after all. These poop bags from Wild One are durable and thick, but because theyre made with compostable corn starch, they will biodegrade after use.Check it out

Halo

Whether youre looking to supplement your poochs diet with some plant-based options or youre going fully animal-free, this kelp-based dry food from Halo Holistic is rich in all the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants your dog needs. Research suggests that it is possible for dogs to follow a completely vegan diet, but that said, if youre looking to make dramatic changes to your pets food, its a good idea to consult with a vet first.Check it out

Leaps & Bounds

Its no secret: most cats love catnip. But not all of them. If your cat doesnt respond to catnip, then they may well be a silver vine-lover. Evidence suggests that the plant, which naturally grows in mountainous regions in eastern Asia, also works as a cat stimulant. Treat your kitty to some of the best in the business with this blend by Leaps & Bounds, which is made with organic ingredients. But again, before introducing anything new to your companion animal, consider consulting your vet first.Check it out

Halo

As well as dried options, Halo Holistic also offers vegan canned dog food. So if youve done your research and you know your dog will respond well to plant-based options, consider introducing them to this totally meat-free dinner, which is made with peas and chickpeas.Check it out

CookiePal

Whats good enough for a human is good enough for a dog, believes CookiePal. Thats why these healthy treats are made with organic, human-grade turmeric and ginger, two ingredients associated with anti-inflammatory benefits. Plus, theyre rich in protein and omega-6, and theyre even encased in biodegradable packaging.Check it out

Buckle-Down

If youd prefer to avoid giving your companion animal a collar made with cowhide leather, then Petco has plenty of vegan collars, like this Disney-inspired option, for example. If Disney isnt your thing, there are also styles inspired by DC Comics and the TV show Friends.Check it out

Because Animals

There isnt much research out there that supports cats going completely vegan. But that said, it is still possible to supplement their diets with healthy plant-based treats, like these sprinkles from Because Animals. According to the brand, the sprinkles, which are made with seaweed and organic fruits and vegetables, are not only tasty, but they may help your kittys gut health too. If your cat hasnt tried plant-based treats before, or youre not sure how they will respond, consider giving your vet a call before purchasing.Check it out

Burts Bees

If youve got a particularly hairy companion animal, then you know its important to make sure their fur doesnt get tangled or matted with a good brush. This one from Burts Bees (yep, the brand has a whole pet range, too), is made with recycled materials, including old plastic collected from beaches and waterways.Check it out

Because Animals

Peanut butter isnt just loved by humans, many of our pooches cant get enough of it either. These nutritious and delicious noochies from Because Animals feature the popular nutty ingredient, alongside nutritional yeast (aka nooch), as well as bananas, ancient grains, flaxseeds, applesauce, and coconut oil.Check it out

Glad for Pets

As youll know if youve ever tried to toilet train a puppy, training pads are necessary while theyre still getting used to doing their business outside. But plastic? Thats not totally compulsory. These training pads are absorbent and leak-proof, but they also help to cut down on waste by using bamboo tissue as the key material.Check it out

Clif Pet

Your pooch wont be able to get enough of this plant-based jerky from Clif Pet. Made with simple, nutrient-dense ingredients, its good for their health, but its also pretty delicious too (which makes it a great training tool). There are a handful of flavors to choose from, including Pumpkin and Apple, Sweet Potato and Blueberry, and Butternut Squash and Cranberry.Check it out

Dairy Food Market size to grow at a CAGR of 2.73% from 2022 to ... - PR Newswire

There are two ways to approach the resurgence of the heated discussion on novel food in Europe; one cautious and one more ideological.

A debate has been raging in Italy over the past few weeks and no, its not on whether the real parmesan is from Wisconsin, as argued in a recent viral interview.

At the end of March, the countrys right-wing government led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni put forward a number of draft laws proposing a ban on cell-based or cultured meat and stricter labelling rules for insect-based products.

In the Italian public debate, cultured meat is labelled as synthetic meat, which conjures up an image of plastic or something inedible.

The term arguably does not make much sense from a scientific point of view since it is cultivated in laboratories from natural cells and not assembled from polymers.

But synthetic meat has become an obsession for the executive, with Italys Agriculture Minister Francesco Lollobrigida reiterating at every opportunity that this technology puts at risk both health of citizens and Italys gastronomic heritage.

A couple of weeks ago, the issue reached the podium of the European Commissions daily briefing with the press.

What were talking about here is novel food. Now, insects and cultured meat are examples of novel food, the European Commission spokesperson in charge of food safety Stefan de Keersmaecker told reporters.

Novel food is defined in Europe as food that has not been consumed to a significant degree before 15 May 1997, the day when the first regulation on novel food came into force.

The main principle behind the regulation is having a marketing authorisation process to ensure the safety of these products, which include now popular foodstuffs such as chia seeds or vitamin K2.

Indeed, all types of novel foods must be strictly assessed by European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) before being placed on the market.

This pretty temporal definition of novel food always made me think of a famous line in a book by Michael Pollan, perhaps one of the best food journalists in the business.

In his In Defense of Food, Pollan gives a tip not to eat anything your great-grandmother wouldnt recognise as food.

It might sound a bit extreme, but he has a point.

Many out there are actually afraid of novel food for a simple reason: At this point, we would have already known if a certain traditional food could bring harm to human health.

Since we havent had enough time to prove the safety of novel foods, the EU adds an additional layer to their safety assessment.

But the Commission has not yet received any request for placing any type of cultured meats on the market in the EU.

Still, the discussion is not purely theoretical and such requests will, sooner or later, arrive on EFSAs table.

Two weeks ago, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) released their much-awaited first report on the safety aspects of the cultured meat industry.

This is the first contribution on the matter, and it also acknowledges that a limited amount of information and data on the food safety aspects of cell-based foods to support regulators in making informed decisions.

But there is another reason why people might be afraid of novel food, which is purely cultural, if not ideological.

The defence of food tradition has always been present in Italy, but it reached a new peak with the current government, which has adopted a very conservative stance on the matter.

A slide towards the so-called gastronationalism is something that political analysts should take into consideration ahead of the EU elections in 2024 since big constituencies in Europe depend on farmers and food producers in general.

Novel food is not just something to be scared of or suspicious about.

It also represents a drive for innovation in food production, with a potential contribution to the outstanding issues of feeding a growing population and increasing the sustainability of the food systems.

A cautious approach to novel foods safety is understandable and necessary. But an ideological defence of food tradition could actually deprive us of tools to reach these targets.

Things to keep your eye on in Strasbourg. MEPs will meet in Strasbourg this week for the Parliament plenary session, where a number of key files will be debated and voted upon, including the EUs deforestation law, designed to prevent the import of products associated with deforestation, including, cocoa, coffee and palm oil. Following a debate on Monday, Parliament will also vote on a resolution on sustainable carbon cycles on Tuesday.

Agri export boost. EU agri-food exports grew by almost a third in 2022 compared to 2021, according to a Commission report published on Thursday. The biggest increase was seen in cereals and related products, which the EU increasingly exported to developing economies in the face of the turmoil in global grain markets caused by Russias war on Ukraine. EU imports from Ukraine increased by 88% in 2022, mainly driven by cereal, oilseeds, and protein crops.

Strategic plans on the agenda. EU countries strategic plans for the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) will be discussed during Mondays Special Committee on Agriculture (SCA), the preparatory body for the meeting of the 27 agriculture ministers. According to a provisional agenda, a Commission official will inform the committee on the state of play of the plans, while the discussion will also serve to prepare a debate at the upcoming agriculture ministers meeting on 25 April.

Easter bunny hard at work. With 28% of the blocs total exports, Germany is the EUs number one exporter of chocolate and chocolate bars, according to recently published data from the EU statistics agency Eurostat. The runner-ups are the Netherlands and Poland, with 13% and 12% of EU exports, respectively. In total, EU countries exported 2.5 million tonnes of chocolate in 2022 most of which went to other EU countries.

Benefits of womens equality. Improving gender equality in agri-food systems worldwide could boost the global economy and significantly reduce food insecurity, according to a new report published by the UNs Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). Closing the gender gap in farm productivity and the wage gap in farming-related jobs, the report argues, would increase the global gross domestic product by $1 trillion and reduce the number of food-insecure people by 45 million.

Seasonal worker protection. As the summer harvesting season approaches, thousands of seasonal and migrant workers will be heading back to the European fields. To help safeguard their labour rights, the European federation of food, agriculture, and tourism trade unions (EFFAT) has launched Season@Work, a webpage and a mobile application designed to provide migrant and seasonal workers in European agriculture with relevant mother-tongue information on their rights.

Toxic kitchenware? Half of the European consumers keep using worn or damaged food containers and kitchenware, while many feel insufficiently informed about the safe use of packaging, according to a survey by the European consumers organisation (BEUC), which calls for proper regulation of these materials. The European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) told EURACTIV that while their scientists carry out risk assessments of chemicals in food contact materials that are fit for use, it is the producers who are responsible for indicating proper usage of each specific food contact material, which is controlled by national authorities.

Still far away from our 5-a-day. Freshfel Europe released its latest edition of its consumption monitor this week, which provides a comparison of consumption trends in the EU-27. While this years edition shows that the average fruit and vegetable consumption in the EU grew compared to the past few years, fruit and vegetable consumption is still almost 10% below the minimum 400 g/day/capita recommended by the WHO. This is under further pressure in Europe due to the economic crisis following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in 2022, which is severely impacting consumer purchasing power and limiting their food expenditure.

Mild weather but continued war damage. With mild temperatures and sufficient rainfall, weather conditions in Ukraine have been favourable for winter crops, according to a new report from the EUs Joint Research Centre (JRC). However, due to reduced sown areas in the face of the war and labour and agricultural inputs being less available, winter wheat production is still projected to remain far below the five-year average.

Release Agents Market Is Likely to Experience a Tremendous Growth in near Future - EIN News

KIM Kardashian has shown off the well-stocked kitchen at her $60million Los Angeles mansion, but not everyone was impressed by the amount of food she had stored.

The reality star, 42, came under fire after showing off her four refrigerators in her huge kitchen, which some fans slammed as wasteful.

Kim initially gave fans a tour of her kitchen in 2020 after being mocked for posing in front of her seemingly empty fridge.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, the mother of four started in her large, open-plan pantry.

The pantry featured a fridge with a frozen yogurt machine inside.

Kim announced: "I got rid of all my plastics," while showing off her glass jars full of various dried goods and sprinkles for her frozen yogurts.

She then showed off her second fridge, which she said was just for drinks, that was largely empty save for several glass bottles of water.

Kim showed off her Norwegian Voss water bottles, cans of Perrier sparkling water, boxed Flow water, Boxed Water Is Better cartons and Canada Dry soft drinks.

The Hulu star then walked into a huge, industrial-looking kitchen and declared: "This is the kitchen where it all happens."

She entered a massive walk-in fridge packed with fresh fruit, vegetables, salad dressings, and more.

The SKIMS founder said: "You guys I have a walk-in refrigerator! Where we keep all of our fresh organic produce.

"We are building on the property all organic trees to grow our own vegetables and do all our own stuff."

Kim, who went on a vegan diet in 2019, went on: "All of our meals, you guys know I'm all plant-based now, so all of our stuff is in here."

The reality star then showed off her fourth fridge dedicated to her and her four children's milk.

She said: Then if you want a little more chaos, with tons of oat milk and almond milk, you have this refrigerator. All my kids use a different kind of milk."

The fridge was stocked withoat milk, lactose-free, organic pasteurized, almond and probiotic milk.

The SKKN mogul signed off: "And then our freezer, I didnt even show you guys our other freezer. There you have it, guys."

Kim's video resurfaced on Reddit on Monday, where critics slammed her kitchen.

One wrote: "This entire family is so incredibly wasteful from their sprawling laws to their private jets, huge mountains of gifts on every occasion, giant balloon displays, parties and industrial size kitchen and pantries. Its sickening."

Another pointed out that while Kim is being environmentally conscious by getting rid of her plastic bottles, she is still using tons of electricity to run four fridges.

They wrote sarcastically: "I got rid of all the plastic so I can run 4 refrigerators simultaneously that is barely efficient to showcase my clout chasing obnoxious 'Im richer than you' aesthetic."

A third added: "There is literally no way they dont waste a fuck ton of food."

Yet another user commented: "I mean I guess this is great if you wanna raise your kids up feeling like they live in a restaurant.

"This whole kitchen feels so impersonal and just dark and cold. there's really no need for all that even with 4 kids."

Kim lives in her Hidden Hills mansion with her four children - North, nine, Saint, seven, Chicago, five, and Psalm, four.

She has previously been slammed for creating a "depressing" environment for her kids with her home decor.

Back in November, she shared snaps of a cream-colored coffee mug, an entirely beige sitting room, a plain marble chair, expensive artwork, and her minimal bedroom.

Critics claimed the house looked "gloomy and depressing" and compared her bare bedroom to a "tomb."

A month later, fans mocked an "ugly" detail about her living room that made it resemble a "department store".

Kim had shared a video of apianist playing Christmas tunesin the morning at her mansion.

She documented herlavishly decorated Christmas treeand her minimalist home as she captured the musician seated at her baby grand piano.

She captioned her post: "It's that time of the year...

"@philthekeys comes over every morning to wake my kids up by playing the piano while the mad morning rush is happening to calm their little souls and fill it with beautiful Christmas songs."

But the SKIMS mogul's fans were distracted by the huge gray couch in the center of the room.

The low-backed piece of modular furniture featured padded sides and extended out at various angles.

One critic wrote, "[The couch] is sorta fugly," and another agreed, adding: "Its like theyre living in a department store."

Her sisters,Kourtney, 43,Khloe, 38, and her mother,Kris Jenner, 67, have received similarcriticism about their homes' decor, or lack thereof.

Smallholder Farmers Alliance purchase of organic cotton from farmer member.

Norielle Thomas, Smallholder Farmers Alliance

As the harvest season finished at the end of January in Haiti, retail giant VF Corp. made a notable purchase: what is believed to be the first-ever verified regenerative cotton crop grown in the country.

For the holding company behind brands like Timberland, The North Face, Supreme and Vans, the purchase was significant. For one, it signaled a broader approach to sustainable farming, evolving from an earlier focus on organic cotton where the emphasis is on the elimination of inputs including pesticides and synthetic fertilizers to regenerative cotton agriculture practices, which place greater importance on soil health, water retention, and local economic benefits, in addition to the chemical input management.

Timberland had already reintroduced cotton to Haiti following a 30-year absence from the country in collaboration with the Smallholder Farmers Alliance, a nonprofit that establishes farmer cooperatives. After five years of study and field experiments, the company introduced its first products made with Haitian-grown organic cotton in the spring of 2021, including two types of sneakers and a tote bag. But the focus quickly moved to regenerative agriculture, a practice more activist shareholders are pressing with big consumer companies.

"Regenerative agriculture is really important to Timberland and VF because it's about restoring the soil," said Atlanta McIlwraith, Timberland's director of social impact and activation. "We feel like it's a way to directly address climate change. I think a lot of brands talk about sustainability, and we do as well, but if you think about sustainability, it's really about doing no harm and maintaining things as they are. And regenerative is really drawing a line that's higher."

Behind the scenes, there is another notable aspect to the agricultural first related to technology. With support for Timberland, VF Corp. and VF Foundation, the Smallholder Farmers Alliance worked with Terra Genesis a Thailand-based firm that VF just announced this week it has a collaboration with on sourcing regenerative rubber and the Data Economics Company to create a farm data tracking service to verify regenerative cotton crops.

When a farmer decides to work with the Smallholder Farmers Alliance, a local agronomist will start coming to their farm and collecting data on regenerative farming, as well as establishing the standards that these farms must meet. If a farm passes the survey, farmers profit not only from the cotton sale, but from the data that verifies the cotton is regenerative.

VF Corp's efforts with regenerative cotton in Haiti come at a time of growing pressure from consumers for companies to adopt more sustainable practices.

Three out of five consumers in a recent survey claimed that at least half of their last purchase consisted of socially responsible or sustainable products, according to the IBM Institute for Business Value.

"This consumer demand drives the brands and big companies to want to use more of these products produced in that way," said Jennifer Hinkel, managing director and CGO of the Data Economics Company.

But corporate sustainability claims are being more aggressively challenged by regulators and politicians.

Last year, the Federal Trade Commission charged Kohl's and Walmart with falsely advertising their rayon products as bamboo since 2015, with the companies agreeing to pay $5.5 million in combined penalties.

The FTC is weighing even stiffer penalties for "greenwashing" and is currently contemplating a revised set of rules for environmental marketing claims, with a public comment period set to end later this month.

"If there's no traceability, there's no evidence that it is what you say it is," said Patricia Jurewicz, founder and CEO of the human rights nonprofit organization Responsible Sourcing Network. "People want to know. You don't want to be saying that there's better cotton in this product, if in reality, there's cotton in there that could be contributing to forced labor or other harmful practices," she added.

This data collection process also gives smallholder farmers a greater say in their relationship with big brands, shifting the balance of power a little in an industry that long favored the consumer companies, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, especially with food crops. The Rockefeller Foundation is currently looking at similar regenerative verification for food agriculture around the world.

The way that the data is collected and packaged is designed to give ownership to the farmer for licensing. "You don't actually get ownership of the data as VF or a customer. You get to license it and use it for specific purposes," said Data Economics Company managing director and CTO Arka Ray.

Data Economics Company serves as the operating system for the entity managing the effort for farmers, Smallholder Data Services, and the farm level data traceability all the way through to the end purchasers, such as VF, and traceability back to compensating the farmers. Empowering small farms in direct connection with larger brands and markets, will be important to bringing sustainability through to the consumer end market, Hinkel said.

Applying this approach to the cotton industry and associated products will be complicated. Most cotton is blended with other cotton crops based on characteristics of the cotton, including color, strength, length, and price point, "and what's realistic for some of the fast fashion that's out there," Jurewicz said. "What's harder is applying these technologies to conventional cotton, to all the cotton that's out there, rather than just to the real responsible cotton," she said.

Even with progress made in recent years on organic cotton production, it's still a tiny piece of the global industry. The 2020/21 global harvest of certified organic cotton was up 37% year over year, according to the Textile Exchange, but that represents 1.4% of all cotton grown globally. And Haiti, in particular, plays a very small role in global production, having only reinitiated cotton farming in recent years. The top five cotton-producing nations India, China, the U.S., Brazil and Pakistan control 77% of the global output, according to OECD data.

Nevertheless, while regenerative agriculture may be an emerging concept in developed markets like the United States and Europe, it isn't new to Haitian farmers.

"When it's introduced to smallholder farmers, we don't really say, 'Oh, here's a new thing called regenerative' because they recognize each of the practices of regenerative agriculture as things they've done in the past, things their parents did," said Hugh Locke, senior editor president and co-founder of Smallholder Farmers Alliance and Smallholder Data Services.

VF Corp. was introduced to Haiti through Timberland, which started its efforts in the country in 2010 when the footwear company became the founding corporate sponsor for the Smallholder Farmers Alliance. Originally, Timberland and the Smallholder Farmers Alliance worked together on a tree planting operation under which smallholders were rewarded with credits for helping to reach the goal of planting 5 million trees, and they could then use those credits in exchange for seed, tools, training and other agricultural services.

McIlwraith says that Timberland and the Smallholder Farmers Alliance saw unexpected benefits from that program back on the farm, producing a 40% increase in smallholder farmers' organic crop yields and 50% to 100% increases in farmers' incomes.

"Haiti is so degraded, environmentally talking, and because of that any other project cannot be sustainable. So, we tackle the problem from its roots, which is environmental degradation in the country," said Timote Georges, executive director and co-founder of Smallholder Farmers Alliance.

Tracking and verifying this data has encouraged more farmers to switch to regenerative cotton farming.

"There is a positive community kind of peer pressure that emerges and encourages farms to participate in this data network. And which then by osmosis gets more and more farms to adopt regenerative practices because the ROI loop is very clear," Ray said.

As brands create stricter goals tied to production practices, they will need to be able to demonstrate that they're meeting them. "So I think all of that together, it will continue to incentivize this type of data tracking traceability," Jurewicz said.
