The below description of brace roots comes from Pioneer THE PICTURE OF BRACE ROOTS COMES FROM Benjamin Westendorf of AgXplore International The treatment on the left is Gro Pak and the treatment on the right is Gro Pak AI This is the most phenomenal visual I have ever seen on turning your brace roots into mass nutrition translocation tools If you are not using Gro Pak AI get it ordered now for next year The role of brace roots in water and nutrient uptake was undetermined until recently. Xylem elements – the vascular tissue of plants responsible for water and nutrient transport – are large and numerous in brace roots, suggesting they play an important role in water and nutrient uptake. Recent research has shown that brace roots that penetrate the soil do indeed take up water and nitrogen and the larger the roots, the greater the uptake (Rasmussen et al., 2022)

The Most Precious Microbiomes in the World! #Mysummary Research on Indigenous microbiomes has shown that these communities have distinct microbial compositions, often linked to their traditional diets and lifestyles, which are rich in whole, unprocessed foods and involve closer interaction with natural environments. This diversity is crucial, as it is often associated with better health outcomes. However, as lifestyles shift towards more Westernized habits, this unique microbiome diversity is at risk. However, historical research practices often exploited Indigenous communities, with data extracted without proper consent or benefit sharing. Today, efforts are focused on ethical research frameworks that prioritize Indigenous sovereignty, such as community-driven projects that allow these groups to control their microbiome data and ensure equitable benefit sharing. #Mythoughts My mission is to preserve the microbiome from extinction, starting with educating people on its importance. HAPPY to hear your THOUGHTS and stay POSITIVE! #Myinspiration “It’s your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.” Rumi Link to the paper here: https://lnkd.in/eAM-sVrr #microbiome #science #biology #health #pharma #diet #nutrition #probiotics #therapeutics #startup #biotech

What I learned this week.... This week was a bit slow. I was fasting on a diet for 5 days, which reduced my brain power a bit, but I dropped 8 lbs and feel awesome. My wife lost 3lbs just by watching me not eat. The value of positive externalities. Next week is World Agritech. I am there only to find leaders in regenerative ag, nutrient density, and metabolic health. We are building a vertical network of solutions to define the "Tech Stack" of #FoodisHealth. DM me to meet up. 1. Consumers, not CPGs, control diet and metabolic health 2. Grocery needs to decide if its in the business of selling shelf space or nutrition 3. CPGs do not know the economic value of nutrient density 4. CPG product development is 90% value engineering, not nutrition quality 5. NPK undermines biologics in ways we do not understand (Nick Vos) 6. Soil health is a 5+ year strategy, not seasonal (Holganix) 7. Incumbent powers fail to realize that no one has access to a better LLM than what billions of people around the world get for $0-$20/month. (also see AgentHub (YCW24)) 8. If regenerative agriculture = nutrient density and nutrient density = health, then regenerative agriculture = health (Raviv Turner) 9. Anti-obesity medications (AOM) cost more than Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular disease treatment. Pipeline AOM therapeutic assets, more effective than Wecovy, are 1/15 the cost. Prepare warp drive. 10. Cedar Sinai does 1,000 valve replacements each year, which seems low. 11. Handheld ultrasound will replace stethoscopes, transforming healthcare. With AI, first-line diagnostic imaging will improve 100x. A tech with handheld ultrasound will wipe out undiagnosed diseases in < than five years. (iCardio.ai) 12. Forget the Patriot Act, the feds are using satellites to find illegal manure spreading in Wisconsin 13. Prolon Fast Mimicking Diet is not that bad. 8 lbs in 5 days. I feel great (Prolon Fast) 14. Our food system is a gateway drug to healthcare. Farmers are giving up value to doctors. Farmers need to repackage their offerings, in new business models, as nutrition and take market share from healthcare.

The true potential of #syntheticbiology is limited by the scope of new proteins we can create. Today, the opportunity to develop novel proteins for #sustainable technologies and #medicines is underexploited because the process takes too long and fails too often. Join this session at #SynBioBeta2024 to learn how next-gen #AI protein development can solve key bottlenecks across #food, #health, and #industry: https://lnkd.in/gEsEq78W

The future of food as medicine is bright, with opportunities for innovation and growth ?? We spoke with members of the CFIN team, Dana McCauley (CEO), Alex Barlow (Vice President of Programs), and Lavina Gully (Regional Innovation Director, BC and Yukon) to get their perspectives on the future of personalized nutrition ?? They draw on relevant topics such as technology, the impact it'll have on the food industry, as well as responding to the trend. Read their insights here: https://lnkd.in/g49TeuG6

What makes our process at Magic Valley special? Harnessing iPSC technology offers us unique benefits in creating cultivated meat, including: ?? Versatile Cell Differentiation: induced pluripotent stem cells can be directed to become fat, muscle, and more, allowing us to create real meat products that taste delicious. ?? High Efficiency: iPSCs can proliferate indefinitely, allowing for continuous, large-scale production. ?? Healthier Products: offers potential for customised nutritional profiles, supporting healthier meat alternatives. ?? Animal-friendly process: we only need a small amount of skin cells from one animal to begin the process, and then we can continue to create real meat products indefinitely - without harming a single animal in the process. #cultivatedmeat #stemcells #biotech Paul Bevan Andrew Laslett Jacob Goodwin Wendy Chua Ella Jenkins

Exploring the mode of action of #prebiotics to drive innovation. ?? Prebiotics are non-digestible compounds that support beneficial gut microbiota. They are increasingly recognized for their potential to improve health and well-being. Our Prebiotics Task Force is dedicated to advancing the understanding of how these compounds work and their connection to individual health benefits. Upcoming Activities: ·?Evaluating the potential of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) to uncover the mechanisms of action of prebiotics and identify new opportunities (in collaboration with the NAMs Task Force). ·?Identifying key markers to assess gut microbiota improvement, focusing on measurable indicators of microbiota composition (in collaboration with the Probiotics Task Force). By collaborating with leading experts, your organization can play a vital role in shaping the future of prebiotics research and their contribution to health innovation. Join the Prebiotics Task Force today and ensure your voice is part of this vital conversation. ?? For more info or to get involved, contact Georgia Chatonidi at [email protected] ??

The Hype is real! Biotech is addressing #climatechange issues by converting carbon dioxide into products like fats, oils, and proteins—all with genetically engineered microbes. While it sounds innovative on a number of levels, it also raises a lot of questions. Is this biotech experiment really going to help the masses? Why do we allow the biotech industry to use a sensitive term like climate change to make it okay to create genetically modified ingredients? Non-GMO Project is standing guard and calling out these new ingredients. We still don't understanding #GMO's long-term impact. While people are eating healthier, I still see diseases like cancer, heart disease, digestive issues, and anxiety on the rise. This reminds me of the cola ads from the 1930s and '40s that suggested soda was harmless—or even beneficial—for young children. Decades later, we realized just how misguided that was, as sugary beverages offer no nutritional benefits. Analogy credit: Justin Prochnow and BeyondSKU ?? What do you think about the new innovation in food ingredients: bioengineered ingredients addressing climate? The future of food or our downfall? ??What's the impact on our health longterm? Jump right in or use caution? ??Does the FDA need to create new or updated guidelines to regulate bioengineered ingredients created in labs similar to drug regulation? Think about it drugs are created in labs too. Food for thought: it takes a drug 8-10 years to get approved, food ingredients 1-3 years. If I were a biotech company, which method would I use for the fastest go to market strategy on a hypothesis? ??
