Looking for a great idea for your next team offsite? Consider volunteering at your local food bank! Our team had an amazing time stepping away from our desks/ the greenhouses to pack non-perishable items for Yolo Food Bank. We (re)discovered our love for assembly lines and our competitive nature about efficiency! But more importantly, we had the chance to give back to the community we’re a part of. The Food & Ag sector plays a critical role in the fight against food insecurity. While we focus on long-term solutions—like improving crop resilience, reducing food waste, and developing technologies for a more sustainable food system—it’s just as important to recognize the small, immediate ways we can help. Yolo County is one of the most agriculturally productive regions in California, yet 1 in 3 households experience food insecurity. A few hours of volunteering made a real impact, and it’s even inspired some of our team to continue giving back. If you're looking for ways to help, consider donating or volunteering at Yolo Food Bank—or your local food bank! Every effort counts. https://lnkd.in/gaEbq3z2 #FoodSecurity #Sustainability #GiveBack #Agriculture #Community #NuCicer

Happy World Pulse day! We believe the future of food is pulses. As global food systems evolve, one thing is clear: beans and pulses are leading the way toward a more sustainable, nutritious, and resilient future. Not only are they some of the most eye-catching seeds, they harness the power of nitrogen fixation and nutrient density that benefit both the soil and the consumer. #chickpeas #worldpulseday #Sustainability #plantprotein #pulses #beans

Pulses are a climate solution! With #WorldPulsesDay 2025 less than a week away, this is the message we are putting out. More than just a superfood for people, #pulses have extraordinary environmental benefits for agrifood systems. At GPC, it is clear to us: this is the story about pulses that hasn't yet been told. As we see increasing convergence between food systems transformation and climate action agendas, it's imperative that Nationally Determined Contributions, National Adaptation Plans, and National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans reflect food systems transformation priorities, and vice versa. Pulses can make this happen! Did you know they can help agrifood systems become a carbon sink? In this presentation, we (briefly) explain how. I'd like to point out that we have fact-checked all the claims against studies from sources we trust and I am happy to provide these sources upon request as well as more detail into each point. I hope this presentation sheds new light on the way you think about the power of pulses to help fight climate change! Creating it has certainly done so for me. #PulsesAreAClimateSolution #PulsesForPlanet Atheeqe Ansari Amelia Christie-Miller AGT Food and Ingredients Inc.

Pulses are not just nutritious—they are a climate solution. 🌱 In this presentation, we share 4 key steps to help build a more sustainable planet through their consumption and production. 📌 Learn how pulses contribute to food security, restore soil health, and reduce carbon footprints.

Exciting news! We’re partnering with the Pulsating Project to advance regenerative agriculture and improve processing techniques—helping make alternative proteins more accessible in The Netherlands! This marks a major milestone for NuCicer as we expand into new growing regions and gather valuable data to drive R&D for a more sustainable food system. Looking forward to collaborating with partners who share our vision for the future of food! #Chickpeas #RegenerativeAg #Pulses
𝗞𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝘃𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗼𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗱 👩🏽🌾🍽️ Fascinating omvat de hele keten. Dat begint bij een vitale bodem en eindigt op het bord van de consument. Pulsating is een nieuw project binnen Fascinating dat alle ketenpartners samenbrengt – van boeren tot voedselproducenten. Het doel van dit project is om veldbonen, kikkererwten en sojabonen te onderzoeken. Door alternatieve #landbouwpraktijken te testen binnen het kader van #regeneratieve landbouw, evenals verschillende technologieën en verwerkingsmethoden, is het uiteindelijke doel om het areaal van eiwitrijke peulvruchten in Groningen en Nederland te vergroten. Tegelijkertijd zal dit project bijdragen aan het oplossen van #teeltuitdagingen waarmee boeren worden geconfronteerd. We komen met nieuwe oplossingen die de duurzaamheid in de gehele keten van eiwitingrediënten en andere producten zullen verbeteren.

Pulsating is a new project within Fascinating that brings together all the supply chain actors – from farmers to food producers. The goal of this project is to investigate faba beans, chickpeas, and soybeans. By testing alternative agricultural practices embedded within the framework of Regenerative Agriculture, as well as different technologies and processing methods, the final objective is to expand the cultivation area of protein-rich leguminous crops in Groningen and across the Netherlands. In parallel, this project will contribute to solving cultivation challenges faced by farmers and will deliver new solutions that improve the sustainability along the whole chain of protein ingredients and other products.

This post by @GreenQueen highlights the incredible strides we're making in alternative proteins - especially beans! Beans aren't just staples in traditional diets—they're a nutritional dynamic super food with high protein content, sustainability, and versatility. High-protein bean varieties have the potential to redefine the alt-protein landscape, offering affordable, scalable, and nutrient-dense solutions to global food challenges. From chickpeas fueling plant-based spreads to lentils powering protein-packed snacks, the possibilities are endless! 💡 What are your favorite bean-based innovations? Let’s celebrate and collaborate! #AlternativeProtein #BeansForTheWin #PlantBasedRevolution #HighProteinBeans #SustainableFuture #NuCicer
🌱🥛 SCIENTISTS HAIL LEGUMES AS THE BEST MEAT & DAIRY ALTERNATIVES 2024 has been a seminal year in global history. More people voted in elections than ever before, temperatures are reaching their highest recorded levels, the US put a convicted felon back in the White House, electric vehicles outnumbered gas-powered cars in Norway, and the world put the humble bean back on the map. Beans have become the flagbearer of academic and research support for plant proteins, just as they have begun reappearing on restaurant menus, retail shelves, and on our Instagram feeds in new formats. Some even suggest it’s now a cult going by the moniker ‘Leguminati’. Now, a new multicriteria analysis by University of Oxford is piling on the bean love, suggesting that legumes are the best alternatives to conventional meat and dairy products. “Unprocessed legumes such as peas and beans were the clear winner in our assessment. They performed well from all perspectives, including nutritional, health, environmental, and cost,” said Marco Springmann from the university’s Environmental Change Institute, who led the research. Out of a possible tally of 100, soybeans, peas, and beans racked up scores of 93 to 97 for replacing meat, with soybeans performing best on nutrition and costs, and peas best on mortality and GHG emissions. Soybeans were superior when it came to replacing dairy too, scoring 95 overall and having the greatest impact on mortality and land use. “A surprising runner-up was tempeh, a traditional Indonesian food made from fermented soybeans, which retains much of the nutritional properties of soybeans without much processing or additives,” said Springmann. “This and the relatively low cost gave it an edge over more processed alternatives such as veggie burgers.” Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dD48MB36 #GreenQueen #altprotein #vegan #futurefoods #nutrition #sustainability #plantbasedmeat #foodsystems
