I thought I had just finally found a plant-based cheese alternative that's both dairy- and coconut-free after literal years of searching, but after taking a closer look at the ingredients it turns out that it's made with...... Whey

Who is this for then?? It's not real cheese so people who eat dairy aren't going to want it, but it's also not dairy-free so vegans and lactose intolerant folks won't want it either. They're out here playing NO sides of the fence, wtf

How Non-GMO Soybean Suppliers Are Changing the Landscape of Agriculture

In recent years, the agricultural landscape has been witnessing a significant shift towards more sustainable and health-conscious farming practices. At the heart of this transformation are non-GMO soybean suppliers, who are playing a pivotal role in promoting agricultural biodiversity, environmental sustainability, and consumer health. This blog explores the impact of non-GMO soybean suppliers on the agriculture sector, with a focus on soya manufacturers, soya products manufacturers in India, and the broader implications for the soybean industry in the country.

Championing Biodiversity

One of the most notable contributions of non-GMO soybean suppliers is their commitment to preserving agricultural biodiversity. Unlike their genetically modified counterparts, non-GMO soybeans are developed through traditional breeding techniques, which help maintain the genetic diversity of crops. This diversity is crucial for building resilient agricultural systems capable of withstanding pests, diseases, and climate change. Soya manufacturers and soybean companies in India sourcing non-GMO soybeans are not only supporting this biodiversity but are also ensuring the long-term sustainability of their supply chains.

Enhancing Soil Health

Non-GMO soybean suppliers often employ organic farming practices that prioritize soil health. These practices include crop rotation, reduced chemical use, and the incorporation of organic matter into the soil, which help prevent erosion, improve water retention, and encourage beneficial microbial activity. By promoting these methods, non-GMO soybean suppliers are contributing to the creation of healthier, more productive soils, ultimately leading to higher quality soya products manufacturers in India and around the world.

Reducing Environmental Impact

The cultivation of non-GMO soybeans typically involves fewer chemical inputs, such as synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, compared to genetically modified varieties. This reduction in chemical use decreases the risk of water contamination, protects non-target species, and minimizes the carbon footprint associated with soybean production. Soybean companies in India that opt for non-GMO soybeans are, therefore, playing a critical role in mitigating the environmental impacts of agriculture, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change.

Meeting Consumer Demand for Healthier Products

The demand for non-GMO foods has been on the rise, driven by consumers' growing concerns over health and wellness. Non-GMO soybean suppliers are at the forefront of meeting this demand, providing soya manufacturers with the raw materials needed to produce a wide range of non-GMO soy products. From tofu and soy milk to soy-based snacks and supplements, these products cater to the health-conscious consumer, offering transparency and peace of mind regarding their origin and production methods.

Strengthening Farmer Livelihoods

Non-GMO soybean suppliers often work closely with smallholder farmers, providing them with the seeds, training, and support needed to adopt sustainable farming practices. This collaboration not only ensures a steady supply of non-GMO soybeans but also enhances farmers' livelihoods through access to premium markets and fairer prices. Soya products manufacturers in India sourcing from these suppliers are, in turn, contributing to the economic well-being of rural communities and supporting the development of more sustainable agricultural practices.

Conclusion

The role of non-GMO soybean suppliers in transforming the landscape of agriculture cannot be overstated. Through their commitment to biodiversity, soil health, environmental sustainability, and consumer health, these suppliers are driving positive change across the soybean industry. Soya manufacturers and soybean companies in India that choose to source from non-GMO suppliers are not only responding to consumer demands but are also contributing to a more sustainable and ethical food system. As the world continues to move towards greener agricultural practices, the importance of non-GMO soybean suppliers will undoubtedly continue to grow.

i watched several will unboxing videos at this point and it seems they changed paper to a more matte, sort of newspaperlike one? like the first ~5 pages of the outlaw album. i guess (?) it's nice, because i think a lighter, coarser paper could bind with the glue more closely, resulting in the pages not being so prone to getting loose or falling out as the thicker, stiffer "standard" (?) shiny photobook paper.

i suspect the reason for the change is that they switched to soy ink, which is, apparently, environmentally friendly, more biodegradable than the usual petroleum-based inks, and overall cheaper to use. it has one* downside, though: it dries slower than the petroleum ink... unless you use coarser paper. that would explain it! especially since i know that the d-day albums used soy ink and the paper was coarser as well. hmm. i guess i'll find out for sure when my albums arrive.

Okay today my plant manager said to me “if anyone else told me they were going to start a farm and creamery from scratch in [state], I don’t think they could do it, but I think you’re crazy enough to actually pull it off” and that was WAY more encouraging than anything else anyone has ever told me.

The World's Forests Are Doing Much Better Than We Think

You might be surprised to discover... that many of the world’s woodlands are in a surprisingly good condition. The destruction of tropical forests gets so much (justified) attention that we’re at risk of missing how much progress we’re making in cooler climates.

That’s a mistake. The slow recovery of temperate and polar forests won’t be enough to offset global warming, without radical reductions in carbon emissions. Even so, it’s evidence that we’re capable of reversing the damage from the oldest form of human-induced climate change — and can do the same again.

Take England. Forest coverage now is greater than at any time since the Black Death nearly 700 years ago, with some 1.33 million hectares of the country covered in woodlands. The UK as a whole has nearly three times as much forest as it did at the start of the 20th century.

That’s not by a long way the most impressive performance. China’s forests have increased by about 607,000 square kilometers since 1992, a region the size of Ukraine. The European Union has added an area equivalent to Cambodia to its woodlands, while the US and India have together planted forests that would cover Bangladesh in an unbroken canopy of leaves.

Logging in the tropics means that the world as a whole is still losing trees. Brazil alone removed enough woodland since 1992 to counteract all the growth in China, the EU and US put together. Even so, the planet’s forests as a whole may no longer be contributing to the warming of the planet. On net, they probably sucked about 200 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year between 2011 and 2020, according to a 2021 study. The CO2 taken up by trees narrowly exceeded the amount released by deforestation. That’s a drop in the ocean next to the 53.8 billion tons of greenhouse gases emitted in 2022 — but it’s a sign that not every climate indicator is pointing toward doom...

More than a quarter of Japan is covered with planted forests that in many cases are so old they’re barely recognized as such. Forest cover reached its lowest extent during World War II, when trees were felled by the million to provide fuel for a resource-poor nation’s war machine. Akita prefecture in the north of Honshu island was so denuded in the early 19th century that it needed to import firewood. These days, its lush woodlands are a major draw for tourists.

It’s a similar picture in Scandinavia and Central Europe, where the spread of forests onto unproductive agricultural land, combined with the decline of wood-based industries and better management of remaining stands, has resulted in extensive regrowth since the mid-20th century. Forests cover about 15% of Denmark, compared to 2% to 3% at the start of the 19th century.

Even tropical deforestation has slowed drastically since the 1990s, possibly because the rise of plantation timber is cutting the need to clear primary forests. Still, political incentives to turn a blind eye to logging, combined with historically high prices for products grown and mined on cleared tropical woodlands such as soybeans, palm oil and nickel, mean that recent gains are fragile.

There’s no cause for complacency in any of this. The carbon benefits from forests aren’t sufficient to offset more than a sliver of our greenhouse pollution. The idea that they’ll be sufficient to cancel out gross emissions and get the world to net zero by the middle of this century depends on extraordinarily optimistic assumptions on both sides of the equation.

Still, we should celebrate our success in slowing a pattern of human deforestation that’s been going on for nearly 100,000 years. Nothing about the damage we do to our planet is inevitable. With effort, it may even be reversible.
