RaboResearch Launches Frutonomía Fresh Produce Podcast

Cindy Zimmerman

Rabobank FinanceRabobank’s RaboResearch Food & Agribusiness (F&A) team today announced the launch of a new podcast called Frutonomía to explore the challenges, trends and opportunities for the global fruit market.

Presented primarily in Spanish and co-hosted by horticulture and fresh produce analysts David Magaña and Gonzalo Salinas, each episode of the podcast will highlight individual fresh fruit markets, taking an in-depth look at lemons, mandarins, avocados, cherries and blueberries, among others.

The podcast will also feature interviews with industry experts and discussion on regional fruit markets with a focus on the United States, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and China. In particular, Latin America is a leading global supplier of fruits and vegetables to critical geopolitical markets, and could supply two to three out of every five fruits and vegetables globally by 2050 based on historic production and export performance.

The most recent episode features guest Vonnie Estes, Vice President of Innovation, International Fresh Produce Association, IFPA, as they dive into the latest changes in the U.S. fruit market, as well as a look at new developments at the highly anticipated IFPA Global Fresh Produce and Floral Show.

The Frutonomía podcast is already taking its show on the road to this week’s Global Fresh Produce and Floral Show October 17-19 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Protect The Harvest Ceasing Operations October 31

Chuck Zimmerman

Protect The HarvestI’ve watched Protect The Harvest over years when they first started in 2011. In fact, it as at the 2014 Ag Media Summit that I interviewed Forrest Lucas and a couple of other guys about starting this effort. You can hear that interview below here: Protect The Harvest Interview 9:11

Protect The Harvest will cease operations effective Oct. 31, 2024, citing ongoing funding challenges that began during the COVID-19 pandemic. The organization was created in 2011 as a non-profit educational and advocacy effort to promote and defend American farmers and ranchers, improve food security, protect property rights, ensure animal welfare, and support outdoor sports such as hunting and fishing. Protect The Harvest has focused on informing stakeholders about important issues, protecting against a myriad of ongoing threats and responding when appropriate.

“Over the past two-and-a-half years we’ve been diligently working to secure funding that would allow Protect The Harvest to continue operations going forward, but the current economy has made it challenging for many individuals and organizations that have supported us in the past,” said Dr. Mike Siemens, Protect The Harvest executive director. “It’s been frustrating and disappointing to see the number of issues we confront multiply while our resources to address them have diminished. It’s also heartbreaking because we hear from so many stakeholders about how much they value Protect The Harvest and the work we do. Now, other organizations will need to step up to fill the void.”

“Since Charlotte and I created Protect The Harvest, we’ve helped many people, some who have become good friends, and we’ve accomplished a lot,” stated Forrest Lucas, founder and chairman of the board. “We’ve fought, and won, a considerable number of important battles that threatened property rights, would restrict freedoms and liberties America was founded on, make it more difficult to produce food or own animals, would curtail hunting and fishing, or would result in greater food insecurity. We have made many friends, enlightened many Americans, and fought the good fights to preserve the nation’s principles and values, but the time has come to pass the torch to others who will promote and defend A Free and Fed America™.”

    Working with an Ayrmesh HubDuo

    Chuck Zimmerman

    HubDuoNeed some high quality and speedy wifi on your farm or home? I have been testing the new Ayrmesh HubDuo at ZimmComm World Headquarters. It has performed perfectly and very simple to install. I actually replaced an original Hub that has worked for us since January of 2011! I am getting full signal inside as well as outlying buildings across our yard. In particular, what we affectionately call Alligator Alley, it’s an extra office fully equipped that I use for different projects. Besides the strong signal I’m measuring higher wifi speed than I was getting. So, I’m happy to recommend this device as well as any Ayrstone products to all you AgNerds out there.

    The new AyrMesh HubDuo is an outdoor, high-power, meshing WiFi access point, like the existing AyrMesh Hubs, with one important difference: it is the first Hub to use dual-band technology. The new HubDuo is designed to deliver very high-speed outdoor WiFi to nearby devices, and standard high-speed WiFi at longer distances. Like the AyrMesh Hub2x2, using MIMO the AyrMesh HubDuo can provide broadband-class WiFi to hundreds or even thousands of acres of property.

    The AyrMesh HubDuo is available now at the Ayrstone store: https://ayrstone.com.

    Learn more in an interview I conducted with Bill Moffitt when the product was announced.

    DWFI Podcast 38 – Irrigation Impacts on Nutrition

    Cindy Zimmerman

    Irrigation expansion can provide the water necessary to increase food production for our growing world. It can also be a means for moving farmers from simply producing enough food for their families to generating more income through domestic markets or export of additional production.

    However, increasing use of irrigation can have varying impacts on the nutrition of the local communities and it’s important to consider these costs and benefits when striving to reduce poverty, end hunger and protect our water resources.

    In this episode of the Water for Food Podcast, DWFI Director of Communications and Public Relations Frances Hayes talks with experts in irrigation and nutrition as they dive into the interconnectedness of irrigation, water availability and nutrition. Guests include Dr. Piyush Mehta and Assistant Professor Dr. Kyle Davis, both in the Department of Geography & Spatial Sciences at the University of Delaware.
