As we pause to celebrate the holidays and look to the New Year, I want to thank you, as subscribers, for your continued reading and support over the past six years. My goal has always been to bridge the gap of understanding of what’s in our food and how and where it’s grown. Little did I know that a year later in 2020, a global pandemic would occur, highlighting the availability and vulnerability of our food supply.
Over the past five years, we have seen the continued impact of COVID combined with wars outside of our bounds, regulations and catastrophic weather events; impacts that have left lasting imprints on our food and agriculture supply chains, consumer food costs and how we need to feed the world.
In this shorten holiday edition of The AgriNutrition Edge Report, I reflect on my own interpretations of annual trends data as we reach the halfway mark of our current decade. In many ways, things have changed, yet remained the same. Look for more detailed 2025 insights in January. And to leave you with a smile and little holiday cheer, I reminisce how Santa accommodated my father’s milking schedule.
