I’m pleased to announce that I am officially an #oliveoilsommelier, though I still have so much to learn. This recognition is the first step in a new project I have been working on for a few months now, the details of which I will be sharing very soon.
With 6 months until polticians switch to campaign mode, time is running out for the E.U. to codify the #FarmtoForkStrategy into law. Pressure from agribusiness and political infighting have jeapordized the future of the sustainable agriculture plan.

@ranchoazulyoro Some of my other reporting indicates that rising prices have led consumers to use less olive oil in Spain and elsewhere. Though, the U.S. seems to have bucked this trend.
#Oliveoil production in Spain has been revised down once again, with the Ministry of Agriculture now expecting just 680,000 tons to be produced in 2022/23, the lowest total in more than a decade. Along with production, olive oil sales have also slumped.

@ranchoazulyoro Thank you, Kathy! I agree that more focus must be placed on how to eat healthy foods every day without putting the burden on people to go out of their way and do it.
This UK health researchers believes officials should focus on promoting healthy diets instead of 'demonizing' specific foods. “Humans don’t like restrictions... we need an environment that supports and celebrates healthy choices,” he says. #meddiet

Everyone in the media and on Twitter has become obsessed with how #ChatGPT will change white-collar work.
So I decided to speak with some leading #AI experts to determine how the technology will impact farmers.
The answer wasn't quite what I expected.

@Ldnbox I’ve been using ChatGPT to help me write content for a website I’m working on, but it gets so many facts wrong I’m starting to think it isn’t that helpful. Do you have this problem?
An interesting trend emerged during the #2022oliveharvest. #Oliveoil production fell drastically in the Western Mediterranean and increased substantially in the Eastern Mediterranean, but was this an anomaly or the next normal? #aove

Researchers from Andalusia and Tenerife are studying the impact of growing olives in subtropical climates, where they do not receive the traditional number of chill hours. The results are surprising. #aove
