@stepru @mtlgazette Hah! New York Bagels and Montreal Bagels are two different animals. Both are excellent. (You know I'll happily walk more than an hour to go to the original St. Viateur.)

@stepru @nytimes These look yummy - but there is no mention of the companies' environmental or labor practices.

Terry Teachout Memorial Tweet - is there a way to insure Terry's twitter account is preserved? He was a wonderful guide to so many things - such as Charles Brackett's great Hollywood diaries. #film

[✨ Rise In - Biggest web3 dev community @riseinweb3]

A study by @Capgemini found that 79% of consumers are willing to pay more for products that offer full transparency in the supply chain.

The dynamic dance between #supplychain and #blockchain is reshaping how businesses operate. 💃🕺

Let's explore the why and how's behind this unexpected alliance! 👇

➡️ First of all, why is there such an alliance anyway?

Picture the supply chain as the journey your favorite product takes from creation to your hands. Now, imagine blockchain as a super-secure digital diary documenting each step in an unchangeable way.

According to a Deloitte survey, 76% of manufacturers are adopting digital tools to gain enhanced transparency into their supply chain.

Blockchain brings transparency, traceability, and automation to the supply chain. 🤝

It's like a magic wand that minimizes errors, fights fraud, and streamlines the process! 🪄

➡️ Why big companies started to embrace blockchain?

The World Economic Forum estimates that by 2025, the integration of blockchain in the global supply chain could generate $1.1 trillion in trade volume.

Major corporations are adopting blockchain in the supply chain for risk reduction, cost efficiency, and to build trust with customers.

Here are a few examples! 👇

⛓️ The @Hyperledger impact:

Hyperledger is an open-source platform that provides various tools and frameworks for businesses to implement their own blockchain solutions.

Like a toolbox for creating custom blockchains tailored to specific enterprise needs. 🧰

Hyperladger's permissioned blockchain networks are particularly appealing for enterprises, offering control over access and ensuring privacy, a crucial factor in business operations.

🍎 IBM Food Trust: (@IBMBlockchain)

Powered by @Hyperledger Fabric, IBM Food Trust enables end-to-end visibility in the food supply chain. It allows participants to access real-time data, enhancing collaboration and trust among stakeholders.

🛒 Walmart's Pioneering Example:

@Walmart uses blockchain to trace the origin of food products, ensuring safety and quick response to any issues. A real-world example of blockchain making a difference. 👏

💡 Wipro's Blockchain Supply Chain Solution:

@Wipro, a global IT consulting firm, has developed blockchain solutions for supply chain transparency, allowing enterprises to optimize their operations and build resilient supply chains.

The integration of #blockchain into the #supplychain is like adding a super-secure and transparent layer to the entire process.

It brings efficiency, reduces risks, and builds trust. As more companies explore and adopt this technology, we can expect even more improvements in the way products reach us from manufacturers. 🚀

India's decision to restrict exports of non-basmati rice to calm domestic rice prices is raising concerns about its impact on the global food supply, prices, and food security. 🚨

What are the implications? Read an analysis from @IFPRI researchers.

If you stocked up on non-perishable foods during the pandemic and didn't use all of it, it's high time to clear out the cupboards because some of that early 2020 stuff is about to expire now. Wouldn't wanna waste that food 😵

Imagine a chocolate croissant with marzipan inside, sprinkled with slivered almonds and dusted with powdered cane sugar. One of the finest pastries on the planet! 🥐🤤

Il existe!

This is a ‘chocolatine aux amandes’, an almond chocolate croissant from Premiere Moisson bakery, one of my favorite local businesses to support when I come north. One of my local friends said it doesn’t exist so I had to show that it does. #Montreal

Are China's cultural spaces shrinking? Expression is silenced, vibrant scenes fade, and exchanges stall. @david__moser and I discuss the effects of this trend on China's soft power and the future of cross-cultural creative endeavors.
