Here's the LI translation of Ali Hatimy's excellent post on the reality of eating out of season #strawberries. As Nate Hagens says, we are 'energy blind'. But we are not only energy blind, we are also #supplychain blind. Please read and share "Do you know this sea of Moroccan plastic so vast that it can be observed from space? There are 70,000 hectares, or 7 times the size of Paris, covered with greenhouses south of Agadir, in particular to supply Europe with low-cost vegetables during the winter. Like Almeria in the south of Spain, the south of Morocco has major comparative advantages that have transformed it into the vegetable garden of Europe: geographical proximity, cheap labour, exceptional sunshine. Between 2003 and 2023, Moroccan fruit and vegetable exports, a large part of which come from the Agadir region, have been multiplied by 8 in value. The tonnages of tomatoes, the main exported product, have been multiplied by 3 over the same period. A slight obstacle to this unbridled growth: vegetables need water, Morocco no longer has any. The Agadir region is also a few decades ahead of the rest of Morocco in terms of water scarcity. The development of large areas of citrus fruit and market gardening from the 1970s onwards was made possible by the exploitation of groundwater. However, since the 1990s, this groundwater has shown signs of weakening or even collapsing. While water was accessible at a depth of about 30 metres in the 1970s, it is now necessary to look for it at a depth of more than 600 metres in some areas. It is estimated that the annual overconsumption of the Souss aquifer is 150 million cubic meters, enough to fill 60,000 Olympic swimming pools or supply all the hammams in Morocco for 2 years. The widespread introduction of drip irrigation, a water-saving irrigation system, in the 2000s has not made it possible to stop this overconsumption due to several factors: suboptimal use of the technique, extension of irrigated areas, increase in yields and therefore plant transpiration, etc. Faced with the depletion of water resources and the announced death of an agricultural sector vital to the local economy, Morocco has pulled out all the stops: the Chtouka Ait Baha desalination plant, commissioned in early 2022, has a daily capacity of 275,000 m3. This desalinated water makes it possible to irrigate 10,000 hectares, a small fraction of the region's irrigated areas. Above all, its cost, even subsidized (5 dirhams per m3), remains prohibitive, except for market gardening farms, which are largely responsible for the depletion of the water table for the entire community. While the agro-export model is essential for Morocco, it is also unsustainable even with colossal investments in desalination. We must now support the sector to consume less while generating more added value: water policing and reducing irrigated areas, technical support, promotion of very high value-added crops such as red fruits or cherry tomatoes, etc."

Everyone is different, especially when it comes to when and where you work at your best! As leaders, your roles and work sometimes goes beyond the "normal" working hours. With that means there might be this unspoken expectation felt by employees to be on checking their email out of their work hours, this can feel stressful and not allow them to disconnect from work. One way to create a culture of well-being 💓 especially as leaders is communicating and being transparent with your employees regarding boundaries and expectations so that work can stay at work! Thoughts on this? #Leadershipdevelopment #Communication #Cultureofwellbeing

Here I come...FIRST time skate skiing! Full disclosure this video was taken after ONE hour of lessons from an amazing coach in Breckenridge named JK. ONE hour prior I was barely moving:). I am so stoked I found a new challenge that I can do in my mountain town that will strengthen my cardiovascular fitness and my brain. Keep training and learning new things network! Have a great weekend. #longevity #leadership #speaker Movement Rx Movement Rx

Did you know that Paul Watson's arrest is just the tip of the iceberg? Power games are being played to expand commercial whaling (💰🐋🤑🐋💰)at the International Whaling Commission (IWC), which began on September 22. But by whom ? Yes of course, Wealthy Japan, who’s actually pushing a poverty-stricken country like the Republic of Guinea and 7 other states to demand it in the name of... guess what?... food security!!! Cynicism has never been short of breath. In an open letter, more than 110 scientists, government and leaders of environmental NGOs are calling on the leaders of West and Central African countries to oppose this resolution tabled by the Republic of Guinea, ahead of the 69th session of the IWC. Imagine : this attempt to expand commercial whaling concerns even key whale sanctuaries. The video below (in French) sheds light on this scandal, decrypting the unscrupulous pressures being exerted, like those on COMHAFAT, a regional organization that promotes cooperation around fisheries. Don't hesitate to share it and support Sea Shepherd. #biodiversity #environment #ocean #whales #Paulwatson #whaling

Very comprehensive analysis of the meat consumption in France: a few key points: - in 2023 there is a general drop in meat consumption after the post covid surge ( - 1,7% per inhabitants) accross all species except poultry. - This is long trend as we see a drop of almost 6% in the past 20 years. - Imports are also going down only slightly (-1,4%) but they still represent more than 30% of the total consumption of meat (all species). - 57% of all lamb consummed in France is Imported ( when it used to be around 50% in the past years) and a growth in volume is noted for the imports from the UK +10,4% :-)

Today, take pride in prioritizing you. What: Happy International Self-Care Day! Why: We're often told self-care = skin care and bubble baths (both great)—but it's different, and personal, for everyone. What matters is finding what works best for *you.* How: Think: What's *my* fav self-care move? Or, which do I want to try? One more thing! Whatever you do—or intentionally *don't* do—on this #InternationalSelfCareDay, take care. #ShineOn

Earlier this month, IWSC - Club Oenologique in partnership with Consorzio di Tutela Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG published my exploration of the #Matinotti (or #Charmat) method The article focuses on some rather technical aspects and looks at how #winemakers are making the most of this method to produce exceptional fizz It features details that aren't talked about much - or not at all in fact - so if you're into #sparklingwine, please do take a look at it https://lnkd.in/dt9Er6C2

Typology of Domestic Violence: Intimate, Terrorism, Violent Resistance, and Situational Couple Violence " ... The central theme to this book is that there is more than one type of intimate partner violence. The distinctions made among types of violence are as much about control as they are about violence. The approach taken here is to distinguish among types of violence on the basis of the control context in which they are embedded. “Intimate terrorism” is violence embedded in a general pattern of coercive control. It is the violence that is encountered most often in shelter populations, in emergency rooms, and in law enforcement. In heterosexual relationships, it is perpetrated almost entirely by men. “Situational couple violence” is not about general control, but is a type of violence that comes from the escalation of specific conflicts. However, neither of these two types of violence looks much like the “violent resistance” that is seen among women trying to cope with intimate terrorism. The goal of this book is to consider what is known and what is unknown about these different types of intimate partner violence. It is a reassessment of 30 years of domestic violence research. It shows that the failure to distinguish among these types of partner violence has produced research literature plagued by overgeneralizations and ostensibly contradictory findings. The typological approach utilized in this book is relatively new, first proposed in 1995 and only recently becoming the focus of research designed to test its implications. Organized into five chapters, the book presents and outlines this new typology in domestic violence: intimate terrorism, violent resistance, and situational couple violence." #Coercivecontrol https://lnkd.in/exbPdbue

Drone swarm. This terrifying video from China has been circulating on X for several days. Elon Musk relayed it with this comment: "in the meantime, idiots continue to build fighters with pilots like the F-35" These are the drones of an event company. We can easily imagine the same ones on a battlefield. Today's drones are more than a revolution. They are the vanguard of autonomous robots that will be the greatest technological breakthrough in the history of war. On land, in the air and in space, on and under the sea. Very small, small, medium, large, very large. Very expensive, expensive, cheap, non-consumable, semi-consumable, consumable. For all missions. https://lnkd.in/d9Tr2g9C
