Eosta has been promoted to a subject of scientific research! Researchers of the German University Greifswald were inspired by our True Cost of Food campaign and published a scientific article on the responsible implementation of True Cost Accounting in “Sustainability Science”.
Eosta works with universities often, but being featured in a scientific article is special. The new study investigates the implementation of True Cost Accounting to make the foods system more sustainable. It warns that end responsibility lies with law makers, not with consumers: “The biggest pitfall in implementing TCA would be an increase in prices without generating change.”
Instead of putting the costs on vulnerable consumers, an equal playing field must be created in the market: “Law maker must design a market that incentivizes sustainable consumption and production, without disregarding feasibility for the individual.” We couldn't agree more!
The overseas grape season starts in mid-December, but planning begins now. Demand for organic grapes remains strong and our growers need early visibility on the volumes they can reserve for fixed programmes. By aligning programmes in advance, we can secure organic volumes more effectively and are also in a stronger position to offer competitive pricing.
Along the Orange River in South Africa’s Northern Cape lies Carpe Diem, a long-standing and trusted partner for our organic grapes. Owner Gog van der Colff took over the family business in 2000 and made the deliberate decision to switch to organic farming in 2006. What began as a step that not everyone was initially convinced by has developed into a progressive organic farm producing grapes, pecans and raisins.
El Niño is clearly affecting the South American mango season this year. Higher temperatures and unusual rainfall patterns are disrupting flowering, making availability and harvest timing less predictable.
