“Consumers today expect the products they purchase to have functional attributes as a baseline. This behavior shift is positively impacting the better-for-you arena, with the opportunity to bring functional solutions into a variety of foods and beverages,” explains Paula Limena, vice president of global marketing, health & wellness, at ADM. “Concurrently, there is increasing focus on supporting gut and digestive health and how it connects to overall well-being. This demand is putting pressure on brands to use solutions, like prebiotic dietary fiber, probiotics and postbiotics, that provide this support.” And this is just a teaser. Read the whole report!

Have you ever paused to consider how empathy can bridge the vast landscapes of diversity in our online interactions? In an era where social media can sometimes feel like an echo chamber, I've found that approaching conversations with empathy transforms them into powerful exchanges of ideas and experiences. A few months ago, I joined a virtual networking group filled with professionals from around the globe. Initially, I felt out of place, unsure of how to connect with those whose backgrounds and experiences seemed so different from my own. Instead of retreating, I decided to lean into empathy. I began by actively listening to others, asking open-ended questions about their stories and perspectives. This simple shift in focus from myself to genuinely understanding them opened up rich, authentic dialogues. One practical technique I employed was mirroring language and acknowledging cultural nuances, which helped me connect more deeply. By prioritizing empathy, I discovered shared values amidst our diversity, and my network expanded in unexpected, rewarding ways. So, next time you engage online, try stepping out of your own shoes and into someone else's. How might their story broaden your horizon? Empathy isn't just a buzzword; it's a bridge to a richer, more inclusive conversation.

Today is World Sepsis Day, and I’m taking a moment to share something deeply personal because awareness is the best way to prevent and fight this dangerous condition. Years ago, at just 23, I faced one of the scariest moments of my life—I was battling sepsis, triggered by a urinary infection. As a young and seemingly strong adult, I was absolutely shocked. One day, I couldn’t move my arm, couldn’t move my hand. My brain was sending signals, but my body just wasn’t responding. I was terrified. 😟 Far away from my family in NYC, I was grateful for the incredible support of the hospital staff, volunteers, and medical professionals who fought by my side. But I wasn’t alone. My partner, the father of my child, stood by me—just as scared as I was, but there to help in every way he could. 💛 With proper care and timely intervention, I survived. 🙏 But sadly, not everyone is as lucky. Many people, including children, lose their lives to sepsis each year. Sepsis can arise from countless complications after an infection, surgery, or disease. It’s not just an adult problem—children are vulnerable too. The 2030 Global Agenda is pushing for a stronger, more proactive approach to sepsis worldwide, focusing on prevention and treatment. But one key takeaway from my experience is the importance of having a strong immune system. 🌿 Building immune health is something we can all work on—not just for ourselves, but for our communities and families. Whether it's through better nutrition, exercise, or even just staying on top of basic health checkups, we can all take steps to protect our immune systems. Sepsis doesn’t care who you are or how old you are. It can strike anyone. Let’s raise awareness and work toward a world where more people survive this life-threatening condition. Let’s build immune health for everyone. 💪🌍 https://lnkd.in/e42p9gKM #WorldSepsisDay #ImmuneHealth #SepsisAwareness #2030GlobalSepsisAgenda #Sepsis #StopSepsis

High-street hot chocolates with nearly 14 teaspoons of sugar, and the coffees that aren’t far behind. There’s a pretty good chance the latest sugar mule has already found its way to your desk in the last week or so. It’s being promoted everywhere. The self-declared ‘iconic’ Pumpkin Spiced Latte from the mighty Starbucks sings of being hand-crafted, trills ‘signature’ coffee, but is a little quieter on the 33g/7 teaspoons of sugar it contains. (Reminder - if you want to live a long and healthy life, 15 – 20g of sugar is about right for an adult – the WHO says 30g is the absolute max, in a day.) It’s fighting for market share over rival Costa who are heralding the return of the ‘favourite’ Maple Hazel Latte, topped with a ‘light’ whip and ‘autumnal crunch’. Harmless we cry, as we join the ever-growing masses wondering how on earth we ended up on the brink of Type 2 Diabetes whilst 33.5 grammes of sugar seeps silently into our bloodstream. It’s not just the seasonal stars. I spent a few hours down the rabbit hole that is Costa’s drinks nutrition info guide. Here’s just a sample of what I found: One large take away hot chocolate has 54.8g/11 teaspoons of sugar .........In one drink - is that even legal? One large Chai Latte comes in at 35g (could have sworn a ‘chai’ was a health food) A medium Mocha; 27g The staple – a large latte – 22g (5 and a half teaspoons in old money) And a semi skimmed, medium Kit Kat hot chocolate – 43.2g (another winning Big Food collab - thanks again Nestle for putting that nation’s health at the forefront) Oh, and if you were thinking of having a slice of cake with your hot chocolate, worth noting the carrot and walnut comes in at 40g of sugar a slice. All these products are sold on the premise of being ‘snacks’, to be eaten between or in addition to meals. They contain more sugar than our bodies can deal with in a day. Fun fact: Costa (a giant in its own right) is owned by big food heavyweight, Coca-Cola (revenue last year around 45 BILLION) Junk food, has become our cultural wall paper, and it’s destroying the health of a generation. What will it take to bring these giants back under control, giving all of us a fair shot at living long and healthy lives?

Gen Z & the "Little Treat" Mentality: How Coffee & Fetch Keep Them Engaged ☕️✨ #GenZ is all about the little treats - those small moments of joy that brighten their day. Whether it's a quick splurge or an unexpected reward, they crave experiences that offer a personal touch and a sense of indulgence. Enter coffee... For Gen Z, coffee isn’t just a caffeine fix anymore; it’s a way to treat themselves. Black coffee? Too plain.

Today’s coffee culture is all about customization - turning an everyday habit into a moment of self-expression. At Fetch, we see this same mentality reflected in their shopping behavior. Gen Z values rewards-driven experiences. They want #personalization, instant gratification, and those surprise moments that keep them coming back for more. Fetch is designed to help brands build those unforgettable interactions. So how do coffee and Fetch come together for Gen Z? Brands - including beverages - come to Fetch to reach this experience-driven generation. By tapping into personalization and offering little treats, we help brands deliver tailored #rewards and memorable moments.

Risky Brew: Hopping Mad in Bavaria German hop farmers are feeling the sting—and not the good kind that comes with a refreshing IPA. Thanks to a global beer slump, they’re drowning in surplus hops and watching prices tumble faster than a tipsy tourist at Oktoberfest. Turns out, beer’s bitter backbone is facing a bittersweet reality: too much supply, not enough demand, and an uncertain future for those green little buds that make our brews worth drinking. The Hoppy Horror Story 2024 was a banner year for hops. German farmers harvested a record 46,536 tonnes, reclaiming the crown as the world’s top producer. But here’s the kicker: breweries have more hops than they can handle. Some have started cancelling orders, and long-term contracts are suddenly looking as fragile as a warm pint of lager. And the prices? They’ve collapsed harder than your resolve during Dry January—down by as much as 90%. As Adolf Schapfl, president of the Association of German Hop Growers, put it: “Many hop-growing families will go out of business.” In other words, it’s bad enough to drive anyone to drink—if only that would help. Turning Risks into Pints of Opportunity Before we cry into our beers, let’s consider some strategies to save the hops (and the farmers): 1. Sell Hops Like Superfoods: Spin the narrative. Hops have antioxidants! They’re natural preservatives! Surely, there’s a niche market for hops-infused smoothies or anti-aging creams. 2. Suds-free Storytelling: With alcohol-free beer gaining traction, hops farmers could lead a marketing campaign for “Guilt-Free Guzzle™.” Save the farms and your sobriety streak! 3. Hop Tourism: Why stop at Oktoberfest? Make hop farms the new vineyards. Offer “Hop Walks,” tastings, and luxury farm stays. Who wouldn’t want to Instagram themselves in a field of beer’s MVP ingredient? Beer Today, Gone Tomorrow? German hop growers are at a crossroads, but history shows they’re a resilient bunch. After all, this is the land of precision, patience, and pretzels. If anyone can pivot from crisis to opportunity, it’s Bavaria. So, next time you sip a cold one, remember: you’re not just enjoying beer—you’re helping keep a centuries-old tradition alive. And if the worst happens, hey, there’s always whiskey. Prost! —- Igniting Clarity, Empowering Trust

I appreciated the opportunity to join Andy Pharoah to see first hand the impact and potential of regenerative agriculture and our partnership with BIOSPHERES. As highlighted this week by Ottmar Edenhofer (chair of the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change), meeting the EU’s 2040 climate goals won’t be possible unless we address agricultural emissions. Helping farmers make the transition to climate-smart agriculture is critical and will require significant public and private investment. #climateaction
