Nearly half of the #tortilla supply is now made with industrially produced masa marina, or corn flour, like Maseca. The traditional method of tortilla production is not competitive in the market anymore, which is sad. #NYUFS19

The trend of having a food item to be the "biggest" to gain a record is vain. it's neither creative nor neurotic. Plus, after the short-period of attraction, it generates food waste. #NYUFS19

To increase efficiency and improve the quality of the #supplychain of a food production company, it's best to apply the combination of the digital lean and traditional lean. A raft of digital tools would also reduce the outage duration. #NYUFS19

#climatechange is threatening humans as well as marines life. The ocean obverses 90% of the heat on Earth. Ocean heat waves are now happening far more frequently than before. It's questionable if the ecosystem is able to recover. #NYUFS19

Fishermen would always choose their nets over unwanted species. Rather than blaming the fisherman for harming the diphones, it's more important to come up with a long-term solution to comprise the situation. The government should take action. #NYUFS19

Publications shouldn't merely focus on one side of the story. It's always necessary to acknowledge the public the big picture while addressing a specific issue. In this case, the consumption of red meat is not the only cause of #cancers. #NYUFS19

It's charming to see #McKinsey takes social responsibility on environmental issues in the food system. The #SouthPoleprogram is devoted to reducing carbon emission by helping households adopt conservation-farming practices such as mulching, composting, and crop rotation. #NYUFS19

The system of #slaughterhouse regulation should be updated. Rather than promoting self-regulating slaughterhouse, governmental standardized rules should be applied to prevent #foodborneillnesses. #NYUFS19

Average temperatures have risen by about two degrees Fahrenheit in #CentralAmerica over the past several decades, making the cultivation of #coffee difficult. Farmers there need strategical solutions and finical support rather than #migration. #NYUFS19

#Commoditytrading giants such as Trafigura, Gunvor, Glencore over the past decade has shown that the global distribution and trading of commodities can deliver significant treasure. Better risk management strategies those corporates apply, more benefit for the farmers. #NYUFS19

Incorporate more food resources is challenging. Snails can be seen as an example. It's surprising to see people tend to adopt it more than rejecting. #NYUFS19

#Reducingfoodwaste should start with planning grocery trips and meals. The book Waste Free Kitchen Handbook by Dana Gunders, includes charts and templates to help consumers to plan better. #NYUFS19

Rather than making the #schoolcafeterias more like fast- casual restaurants, bring food production back in house is the correct way to improve student"s diet. #NYUFS19

Eric Holt-Giménez's new book, Can We Feed the World Without Destroying It? contends "how we organize socially and politically can also determine how we produce and consume", which I believe is the key to improve the food system. #NYUFS19

Even though most states have passed an array of regulations that permit access to raw milk, there is no scientific evidence of the benefits or harms it brings to people. Consumers should be wise when evaluating whether if they can afford the risk. #NYUFS19

It's bracing to know finally people in power are challenging Trump administration’s U.S food policy of school lunch: increased consumption of sodium and decreased consumption of whole grains is putting children at a greater risk of poor health. #NYUFS19
