3 pages., via website, International Food Information Council Foundation., Topics like sustainability, plant-based diets and clean eating seem to permeate news about food, but it turns out they’re not just buzzwords or “flavors of the week.” IFIC Foundation’s 2019 Food and Health Survey shows genuine and growing interest in these and other trends.

Notes:
2 pages., Online via AgriMarketing Weekly., Summary of research by The Sustainability Consortium of Farm Journal among more than 400 U.S. farmers in more than 40 states. The survey invited their perspectives on sharing data about their production practices with downstream supply chain organizations, such as food companies and retailers. Findings suggested that growers value data collection, the environment, and conservation agriculture practices on their farmers, but hold concerns about sharing farm data.
