Nine ways to grow a sustainable food business | Stuff.co.nz

In 2019, researchers discovered a surprising thing. Consumers in California and China were prepared to pay a premium for grass-fed, sustainably-sourced New Zealand beef. Okay, so that is not so unexpected. We do grow happy beef here. What was surprising was the size of the prize. The researchers discovered the potential to achieve a 20% price premium in the US market, equating to extra annual revenue of $238 million in export returns. Emboldened by the numbers, Beef+Lamb NZ launched 'Taste Pure Nature' a vertically integrated value chain involving 8000 beef, sheep and deer farmers. Just three years in, the campaign is showing promising results. Awareness and preference are up. In California, preference for New Zealand grass-fed beef is up 5%, while preference for grass-fed lamb is up 4% since March 2020. Awareness of New Zealand beef and lamb is up 19% since March 2020. "We could get so much more if we could prepare and process a greater portion of the frozen product we sell internationally and label it as grass-fed. That's about innovating here, developing brands here, and moving up the value chain in terms of how we do things," says Hugh Good, Beef+Lamb NZ's global market intelligence and

Case completes her second term as DLNR/BLNR Chair at the end of December, leaving a legacy of tremendous accomplishments in the protection and preservation of natural and cultural resources across the state. Sen. Inouye, who chairs the Senate’s Land and Water Committee said it’s unusual for the body to honor an outgoing department head, but given Case’s track record of moving DLNR forward, it is an appropriate recognition. Chair Case received a large framed certificate, after Sen. Inouye detailed a long list of accomplishments, board service, and awards during her almost eight years as head of DLNR. For 28 years, prior to joining DLNR, Case served in leadership positions with The Nature

12/08/22 – MINIMAL ECOLOGICAL IMPACTS FROM MAUNA LOA ERUPTION

At that time lava flows were headed into the northeast rift zone of Mauna Loa. “Obviously the biggest concern we have is public resources and people’s property being impacted. One of the areas we were most concerned about is the NAR. There’s a lot of endangered species and really good forest habitat in Pu‘u Maka‘ala that we’d hate to see lost,” Bergfeld said. His concern is valid, as previous eruptions in 1942 and 1984 surrounded Pu‘u Maka‘ala with vast expanses of hardened lava right outside ungulate fencing surrounding the NAR. Shortly after the eruption began Nick Agorastos, the Natural Area Reserve Program Manager for Hawai‘i Island said he was concerned right away. “I

Watch: Sensual Animated Short Film 'Tongue' Encourages Pleasure – FirstShowing.net

by Alex Billington December 6, 2022Source: Vimeo The tongue is a very sensual part of the human body. It has many uses beyond allowing us to speak and create words & sounds. Tongue is a very sultry, sensual animated short film made by a filmmaker named Kaho Yoshida. She animated this and created this as a personal project, entirely on her own time. It's only 2 minutes long and goes hand-in-hand with the other pleasure short we posted recently - Klimax. The film is about Yoshida's personal experiences with men, about how sometimes she'd prefer to just steal their tongue, take it home, and use it for her own pleasure without having to hear them speak (or deal with them at all). Sounds quite nice, actually. Featuring the voice of Colin Chapin. The way she visualizes and animates this little climatic fairy tale is quite enticing, let's just say. It's a beautiful animated film that is an alluring watch. Thanks to Vimeo Staff Picks for the tip on this short. Synopsis from Vimeo: "Tired of being talked at by men, a woman takes a sensual trip with unusual friends." Tongue is an animated short written and directed by and animated

Watch the Tape: Michigan Wolverines – On3.com

UK’s trip to the UK turned out victorious. Searching for their first quality win of the season, the Kentucky Wildcats took down the Michigan Wolverines 73-69 in the Basketball Hall of Fame London Showcase. Kentucky placed all five starters in double-figures to move to 6-2 on the season. The loss for Michigan dropped them to 5-3 as they prepare for the start of Big Ten play. Coughing up 14 turnovers and shooting just 10-20 from the free throw line kept this from being a comfortable win. However, the Wildcats executed better offensively and really played well defensively in the second half. The ‘Cats got the big shots they needed down the stretch to finally close out a game. Now, after returning from London, Kentucky will play just three games before December 28th’s matchup with Missouri to start the SEC schedule. The additional practice time, with some rest built in, comes a great time for Coach Calipari as they continue to figure this team out. Clear improvements are being made but the product is still a work in progress. As we do after every Kentucky game, it is time to step into the film room and breakdown the tape. The execution

12/04/22 – HIKERS WARNED TO STAY OUT OF CLOSED AREA

DAVID Y. IGE GOVERNOR SUZANNE D. CASE CHAIRPERSON For Immediate Release:  December 4, 2022 HIKERS WARNED TO STAY OUT OF CLOSED AREA To view video please click on photo or view at this link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/934ctyx5y8qdvr7/AACTXPlEraSCv1smoQINpEa0a?dl=0 (HILO) – The Mauna Loa Forest Reserve was closed shortly after the volcanic eruption began one week ago. Yet, even after a public viewing area was closed for multiple hours today due to the discovery of unexploded ordnance (UXO) many people continue to trespass into the closed area. Today, officers from the DLNR Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DOCARE) warned a dozen  people to stay out of the active lava zone…unexploded ordnance being just one of the potential hazards. Tonight, during a media tour, DOCARE Hawai’i Island Branch Chief Lawrence Terlep Jr. spotted a trio of people walking down Mauna Loa Access Road, which is closed. They  told Terlep they thought “the road was only closed to cars.”  People caught in closed areas risk getting seriously hurt walking across uneven ground in the dark, where hidden UXO may be located or recent lava flows could still be extremely hot. Violators can be cited or arrested. Authorities are urging people to view the current eruption
