With concerted efforts in marketing, infrastructure, and support for commercial fishing, invasive carp can become not just a problem but a resource.
In 20 years, they might become a staple to eat as consumers adapt.
Olive oil producers are turning to biodiversity, circular systems & smarter sourcing to futureproof the industry.
For public procurement leaders, it’s a signal: sustainability is no longer niche—it’s a spec.

After two years of drought, disease, and soaring prices, the olive oil sector is bouncing back with a strong 2024/25 harvest. Producers are embracing sustainable farming, biodiversity, and eco-friendly packaging to protect against future climate and disease threats, ensuring this “liquid gold” remains a staple for generations to come.

🚨 FDA plans big food system reforms: tackling ultraprocessed foods, AI, & financial toxicity.
As an RDN + public sector leader, I see this as a call to engage.
✅ Advocate.
✅ Collaborate.
✅ Comment.
The system won’t fix itself. #RDNLeadership #FoodPolicy #PublicHealth https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/health/fda-drug-approvals-artificial-intelligence.html
🍽️ Proposed food policy changes (like banning dyes, replacing seed oils) may raise prices.
Why?
🚫 Alternatives aren’t always scalable or affordable.
Nutrition reform must balance health, cost & access.
