Black Legend Capital and CEO Claudia Della Mora report on the Food and Beverage industry and changing consumer habits dictate industry trends, as well as investment climate in Food and Beverage.
The University of Utah conducted a Real Food Calculator assessment to determine the percentage of real food purchased by its Dining Services. The assessment analyzed over $1 million in purchases from over 20 vendors during two sample periods. It found that 11% of purchases met the criteria to qualify as real food, which includes being local, fair, ecologically sound or humane. While this reveals opportunities for growth, the Real Food Calculator provides a framework to work towards the national goal of 20% real food purchases by 2020.
Egg consumption in Mexico increased last year and domestic production is sufficient to meet demand. Nationally, eggs are one of the major sources of animal protein along with milk and meat. Several factors in recent years have influenced the poultry market, including economic crises, grain price increases, and outbreaks of bird flu. Seasonal variations in production and demand determine egg price fluctuations in Mexico, which are also influenced by prices in major cities where half of eggs are consumed. At the regional level, egg prices are set by the form of commercialization and type of retailer in each area. While egg prices have risen recently, SAGARPA attributes this to normal supply and demand factors rather than shortages or disease, and eggs
What Can Big Grocery Learn from Farmers' Markets Using Social Data?Networked Insights
Farmers' markets have grown in popularity significantly in recent decades. Social media analysis reveals that consumers discuss farmers' markets more positively than grocery stores, with a focus on seasonality, freshness, and support for local farms. Grocery stores can learn from this by emphasizing seasonal and locally-sourced products, creating a festive shopping experience, and building strong community connections. Price and availability are less important factors for consumers than experiences focused on fresh, local food and supporting small farms.
This research proposal examines consumer spending behavior on food in relation to inflation. The study will collect primary data through questionnaires of 60 respondents in Ahmedabad with different occupations, and secondary data from literature reviews. The analysis will focus on demographics, spending across sectors and on food, fast food consumption, reasons for eating out, effects of price on consumption. The goal is to understand how consumers alter spending in response to price changes on various products.
Online grocery shopping is growing rapidly and expected to more than quadruple from $23 billion in 2014 to $100 billion by 2019. Consumers are willing to pay more for locally grown and organic foods, with 20% of Canadians under age 44 regularly buying organic groceries. Snacking makes up about 25% of daily calories for Americans, with chips being the number 1 snack. Yogurt consumption in the US has grown over 12.5% in the past decade, making it the fastest growing food product. Dieting and watching weight remains a priority for many Americans.
The document summarizes 20 key facts about healthy food trends, including:
- Gluten-free diets are increasingly popular, with 1/3 of Americans trying to cut back or eliminate gluten.
- Juicing has become a major food and beverage category beyond just a trend.
- Locally sourced ingredients are among the top culinary trends according to the National Restaurant Association.
- The North American food and beverage market is expected to be worth $253.7 billion by 2014.

This document analyzes social media data to uncover consumer trends in health and wellness in the US. It finds that while grocery stores make up more of the social conversation, discussions around farmers markets are more positive. Farmers markets are seen as supporting local farms and offering organic, fresh options at reasonable prices. In contrast, grocery stores are sometimes criticized as being unaffordable or lacking healthy options. The document also examines trends around eating in versus dining out, finding that conversations about home-cooked meals increased in 2016 and were associated with more positive sentiment than discussions about dining out or takeout.

Hunger Issues Forum SCC 2010 - Drew Starbird (Hunger Index)2ndharvest
The document summarizes the Hunger Index for Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties in 2009. Some key findings are that the combined Hunger Index for both counties decreased 4% from the previous year, but the total need for food assistance increased by 8-9% due to population growth and declining purchasing power. Food assistance programs stepped up and provided 23% more meals. However, there were still 238 million "missing meals" across both counties. The document concludes that further collaboration across agencies and the community could help reduce hunger levels.
This document summarizes a presentation on undernutrition given by Matin Qaim. Some key points from the presentation include:
- There is often a disconnect between agricultural and nutrition programs that results in wasted resources. Increased coordination is needed in program planning and implementation.
- The focus on food security in some programs may be a stumbling block for improving nutrition.
- Impact assessments of agricultural programs need to consider nutrition and health outcomes, not just interventions aimed at nutrition.
- While higher production diversity at a macro level may increase dietary diversity, studies of farm households in Indonesia and Kenya found higher on-farm production diversity was sometimes correlated with lower household nutritional quality, possibly due to forgone income from specialization
This document discusses food and commodity price indices from 1980 to present. It shows that non-food commodity prices rose more than food prices during the 2008 crisis. Food price volatility differs from consumer food price inflation. Charts show price indices for staples in low-income countries increased during the 2007-2008 food crisis. The FAO global food price index reflects average internationally traded commodity prices, not local staple prices. Shipping costs can also be volatile. Sudden price increases can improve rural incomes but hurt urban poor, while sudden declines undermine food production investment. The role of bioenergy in food prices and whether biofuel policies could lead to more stable food prices is discussed.
The document summarizes findings from the World Bank's DAI (Distortions to Agricultural Incentives) project led by Kym Anderson. Some key findings include: (1) As countries develop economically, they tend to switch from taxing to assisting farmers relative to other producers. (2) Many developing countries still maintain anti-agricultural import protection policies. (3) Global distortions to agricultural incentives have decreased but still exist in some countries and commodity sectors. The project aims to better measure the trade and welfare costs of agricultural price distortions.
This document is a request to switch the food products served at The Highlands of Wyomissing nursing home from conventional to organic products. It cites customer complaints about food quality over the past year that have hurt business. Switching to organic food is proposed to improve resident health and satisfaction, boost the facility's reputation, and increase revenue. The proposal outlines goals of improving surveys and becoming a top retirement home. It also provides background on issues with conventional food and credibility for organic options from other facilities. A budget of $50,000 every 3 months is presented to gradually make the switch over the next year. Evaluation of the change will occur every 3 months.
The document discusses the fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) market in India. It notes that FMCG is the fourth largest sector in the Indian economy, with a total market size of over $100 billion. It identifies the three main categories within FMCG as household care, food and beverages, and personal care. The document outlines several factors driving growth in the FMCG market, including the performance of individual segments, rising per capita consumption, increasing penetration levels in different categories, and higher disposable income as per the McKinsey Global Institute index. It concludes that the FMCG sector in India will continue growing due to increasing demand, fiscal incentives, and strong performance of leading companies.
New trends and technologies are emerging in agriculture - many driven by startups - in order to make farming more efficient and sustainable for the long-term.
This trends spotlight details the three key subsectors that received the most funding in 2016: Precision Agriculture, Biotechnology and E-commerce & Marketplaces. In it, you’ll find the top trends within the subsectors and startups in the DACH region leading the charge.
Slow economic growth and weak income gains limited consumer spending in late 2015. While consumer spending increased, the gains were modest and constrained by stagnant income growth and high savings rates. The job market improved but monthly job gains were below expectations in January 2016. Overall the consumer economic outlook remains cautious as consumers have been reluctant to increase spending in light of ongoing financial uncertainties.
The Covid-19 pandemic has had widespread impacts on the global agri-food system. It has caused health and economic crises that have led to increased poverty and hunger. Trade restrictions and lockdowns have disrupted food supply chains and caused price volatility. This has negatively impacted small producers and consumers. Governments and the sector have responded by supporting local food systems, increasing digitalization, and providing social assistance to address food insecurity.
Fair Food Network works to develop solutions that support farmers, strengthen local economies, and increase access to healthy food, especially in underserved communities. Their Double Up Food Bucks program matches SNAP benefits spent on fresh produce at participating retailers. The program began in 2009 and has expanded to over 150 locations statewide. This report analyzes three years of program data and its implications for policy, focusing on the program's growth and impact in rural Michigan communities.
RedYolks: The Backyard-to-Table Marketplace pitch deck. What problems are we trying to solve? What's our business model? What's our market size and landscape?
The document summarizes consumer economic trends in September 2016. It finds that the US economy failed to gain momentum in the second quarter as falling business investment was not offset by strong consumer spending. Consumer spending grew 0.3% in July while retail sales were unchanged, with gasoline prices still dragging on growth. Job gains slowed to 151,000 in August from over 270,000 in previous months. Consumer sentiment dipped slightly but revolving debt continued to rise, though debt levels remain stable relative to income.

POLICY SEMINAR
Making agrifood systems more resilient to shocks and stresses
Co-Organized by IFPRI and FAO North America
JAN 19, 2022 - 9:30 TO 11:00AM EST
This document discusses rising food prices in India from the perspective of an economist. It covers several topics:
1. Rising prices can cause inflation which further reduces productivity and causes more inflation. Drought is often cited as a reason for rising food prices but the core issues are more related to monetary policy and supply chain management.
2. High inflation over the past year combined with a weakening rupee have increased costs for imports like fuel. This indirectly impacts consumer prices for transportation and goods.
3. Hoarding by traders can help maintain price equilibrium in times of low production, though it may temporarily drive prices up. However, speculation and lack of supply chain coordination are also exacerbating current onion price hikes
1) The document discusses challenges facing food security and the environment in the Middle East and North Africa region, including population growth, rising incomes, variable oil prices, water scarcity issues, and climate change impacts.
2) It presents scenarios for agricultural and food security outcomes in 2050 using IFPRI's IMPACT model, including a scenario with climate change impacts and a scenario with additional comprehensive agricultural investments.
3) The results show that a scenario with climate change could negatively impact crop yields and food availability, but a scenario with increased investments in areas like research, irrigation, and infrastructure could help offset these impacts.

This document summarizes a presentation about the future role of farmers' markets in expanding the local food movement. It provides an overview of national farmers' market statistics and changing consumer preferences. While farmers' markets have grown rapidly, some data shows a slowing in new market growth. Barriers include markets being labor-intensive and not very profitable. Potential drivers of future demand include expanded nutrition assistance programs at markets, USDA local food initiatives, and growing numbers of winter markets and markets at healthcare facilities. Farmers' markets will continue playing an important role in providing entry points for small farms, though their role may evolve as producers access larger wholesale channels.
This document analyzes social media data to uncover consumer trends in health and wellness in the US. It finds that while grocery stores dominate the conversation, farmers markets elicit more positive sentiment as they are seen as supporting local farms and offering organic, fresh options at reasonable prices. Whole Foods accounts for over half the social mentions of grocery stores. The document also examines trends around eating in versus dining out, finding that while dining out was discussed more until 2015, eating in is now discussed more and associated with more positive sentiment around family time and healthy eating.

Accessibiliy: Scalling Up for Global Access to Quality ProductsFrancine Schoenwetter
Broadly defined as the ease of access to something at the time it is needed, the concept of Accessibility—especially as it relates to healthy foods—is one that’s become increasingly important.
The movement to improve access to healthy foods dovetails with the rising demand for better-for-you products, creating a heightened consumer demand for
quality ingredients and sustainable sourcing.
Here we view the data on the food insecurity and an overview of the supply chain perspective on generating greater access to healthier products - how to bridge the gap between high demand and access.

Whole Foods Market dominates the organic and natural foods sector in the U.S. with a 33.6% market share in 2010. However, increased competition from traditional grocers adding more organic options and lower prices poses a threat. While Whole Foods was the first large organic retailer, competitors are now copying its model, with stores like Walmart increasing healthy and organic offerings. This document analyzes Whole Foods' competitive position and challenges in the changing retail food industry.
This document summarizes a student thesis analyzing the growth potential of farmers' markets. It reviews literature on farmers' market models, demand and supply factors. On the demand side, population density and social benefits influence attendance. Supply faces risks from weather and lack of crop insurance. The student models a "basket of goods" enterprise using Iowa crop budgets to assess profitability. Capital budgeting shows potential for expansion at a 35% discount rate, suggesting farmers' markets may grow if risks are addressed. Overall, the thesis examines economic and community impacts to determine long-term sustainability of farmers' market expansion.

Farm to Institution Purchasing - Tri State Local Food Summit 2017 Carolyn Scherf
The document summarizes a panel discussion on farm to institution purchasing. It provides context on trends in local and regional food systems, including the industrialization of food production and food service management. This has contributed to the loss of small and mid-sized farms. It also discusses the growth in direct and local food sales.

The goal of the farm to institution project is to develop networks between producers, distributors, and buyers to facilitate more local purchasing, which could provide economic benefits to small and mid-sized farms.
This document summarizes a collaborative campaign in Minnesota to fight hunger. It outlines that 600,000 Minnesotans experience food insecurity with the highest rates in the Twin Cities and northern Minnesota. An analysis found that there is a gap of 100 million missing meals annually. The campaign's approach is to address hunger as a distribution issue by increasing supply through programs and demand through acquiring food. The goal is to add 100 million meals by 2015 through initiatives targeting the emergency food system, SNAP, and child hunger. Progress will be measured by the number of meals added.
Real Food, Real Choice: Connecting SNAP Recipients with Farmers MarketsJohn Smith
This document summarizes a report about connecting SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly food stamps) recipients with farmers markets. It discusses barriers that have prevented low-income communities from fully participating in the growth of farmers markets. While the number of farmers markets and overall SNAP expenditures have increased, SNAP redemptions at farmers markets declined between 1994 and 2008. The report examines this issue from the perspectives of farmers markets, SNAP recipients, and policymakers. It provides recommendations to increase SNAP usage at farmers markets, including developing farmers market leadership, subsidizing EBT terminal costs, sharing best practices, addressing convenience barriers, and creating incentive programs. The goal is to improve access to healthy foods and support local agriculture

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
