Sure AI freaks me out on the daily, but here’s why I know we’ll be OK It’s our humanity that makes us matter That starts with the vulnerability to be ourselves If you’re walking around feeling like you can never do enough If you feel like you’re failing at executing like a machine If your bank account or task list is judging you Silent to the outside world, but screaming in your head Good You're not a machine, you’re a human being Our humanity is our greatest asset, let's embrace being imperfect and find the joy in today It’s what separates us from the machines It’s the same for brands Let’s put our greatest asset forward Ourselves, as we are today ????

I am excited to share the launch of the new FoodS^3 website (foodscubed.umn.edu)! Please take a look and share it with your colleagues and followers. For those who are not familiar with FoodS^3, we provide data and insights through our supply-chain sustainability research, empowering organizations to improve the sustainability of their supply chains. Shout out to the rest of my FoodS^3 team ( Nathaniel Springer, Will Lockhart, Aurup Ratan Dhar, Ph.D., Mo Ollenburger, Natalie Narváez, Ashley Bergman Humphrey, Annabella Lau, and Priscilla Bunday) and a HUGE thank you to Dan Woychick of Woychick Design for helping us develop our brand guidelines and graphic design. We also want to thank Ivan Stegic, Janna Netland Lover, Karen Dickenson, and Erin Cardinal of TEN7 for helping us develop our site. Last but not least, thank you to Larry M. and the Creamy Animation team for helping us bring the FoodS^3 story to life! With our new site, we look forward to plenty of new partnerships and collaborations, allowing FoodS^3 to make the invisible actionable for an even wider audience.

*** New Work *** FoodS3?(pronounced “foods cubed”) is a research initiative at the University of Minnesota. The team works with agricultural and food companies, industry groups, and environmental NGOs to estimate the sustainability impacts of their supply chains. The FoodS3?model maps?commodity crop and animal production supply chains, providing its partners with tools and a depth of understanding that advances conversation, cooperation, and decision making. FoodS3?helps people see the social, environmental, and economic impacts of these supply chains while providing actionable insights on case-specific interventions. We helped develop the FoodS3?brand – conducting market research, defining key messages, and designing the visual identity, icons, infographics, and presentation templates. We also worked with the team at TEN7 on a website that will explain how the model works, demonstrate outputs, provide updates, answer common questions, and increase the research team’s capacity to engage companies, partners, funders, and other stakeholders. Thanks to Jennifer Schmitt and Natalie Narváez for leading this process at the U of M’s Institute on the Environment!
