Come with JDCA for a behind-the-scenes look at the @USDA's Sukkot Celebration with @SecVilsack and @StateSEAS. Watch 👇

Growth Energy was pleased to participate in today’s Biotechnology Roundtable discussion on sustainability and energy security hosted by @NovozymesNA. CEO @EmilySkor joined an esteemed panel including Ester Baiget of Novozymes, @JeffMarootian of @ENERGY and @JaffeGregory of @USDA.

I had the privilege of visiting @Cornell's pyrolysis kiln, the largest research kiln of its kind at a U.S. university. This machine converts waste into usable, efficient biomaterials, contributing to our efforts to mitigate climate change.

During my visit to @CornellCALS, I spoke with students about the programs @USDA provides to support farmers and rural communities in achieving sustainable growth, adopting climate-friendly solutions, and building the next generation of agricultural leaders.

Thank you to the students and faculty at @CornellCALS for showing me around. Whenever I meet with students, I am always impressed by their creativity and unwavering determination to use their academic pursuits to create positive change.

I am proud to announce my appointment as the founding director of the University of Nottingham's Food Systems Institute. #food #foodsystems #foodsecurity #foodsafety #nutrition #sustainability exchange.nottingham.ac.uk/blog/food-syst…

Passover is one of my favorite holidays. Some of my best memories include going to my Grandma Anne's apartment in Brooklyn for Seder. Tonight, this great tradition continues as @VP and I host a Seder in our home. We wish all those celebrating a Happy Passover.

This is BIG NEWS - Danone steps forward as the first food & ag company with a methane-specific reduction target of 30% by 2030. @EnvDefenseFund is excited to be partnering with Danone to help them get there.

Engagements on GMOs were directed at farmers. That was good. But there are a broad range of other stakeholders... Early stakeholder engagements with consumers on gene edited crops can help ensure a win - win situation for all, says @JaffeGregory at @WorldFoodPrize side event.

Having a social robust engagement, science based regulatory system, voluntary stewardship, transparency and inclusive access to technologies are the key principals for gene editing. @JaffeGregory talking as a panelist @WorldFoodPrize @ScienceAlly @FarmingFutureBD

I have always loved spiritual days dedicated to introspection and internal stock-taking. I wish Jewish communities in North America and worldwide a Yom Kippur full of grace, peace and hope. May your wishes be sealed in the Book of Life. #DayOfAtonement
