"The stories we tell determine the future we get." Jack Bobo kicked off #OFC26 speaker sessions with the importance of narrative in ag. Full session here 👇 ofc.org.uk/video/jack-bob…

@DamianPMason @ZachLaughlin6 @agronomistag I do indeed!

@ZachLaughlin6 @agronomistag Yep. That’s Jack Bobo. He follows my stuff.

Combine the thoughts below with the (small?) chance of a US decrease in population this year (bloomberg.com/news/articles/…) and it changes how crops are going to be grown, sold, traded, etc.

A fantastic, thought-provoking talk from @Jack_A_Bobo at #OFC26🌱 He tells delegates in Oxford & Online that food producers must adapt their products to stand a chance in international markets 👇

As we mark National Storytelling Week, Jack Bobo’s message at Oxford Farming Conference 2026 last month couldn’t feel more relevant. He reminded us that “the stories we tell dictate the future we get”. Shared expertise are key to building resilience in our sector.🌱 #OFC26

💡 I always enjoy hearing from @CIACulinary's Robert Jones and @UCLA's @Jack_A_Bobo - great insights, including the importance of bringing everyone along for the journey, including today's conventional meat companies. We all want a healthy and sustainable food system. #iCAMP2025, @ucdavis

Every great story needs a villain. But in food, it too often looks like this 👇 👉 The problem? When you make someone the villain of your story, you become the villain of theirs.

@Linda42m1 @ivyfarm_tech @altproteinsuk @UoNPressOffice @UoNresearch @UoNBiosciences @UoNFIC @UoNFoodSystems More likely it will help meet, along with alternative proteins, the growing demand for protein globally over the next few decades.

@Jack_A_Bobo @ivyfarm_tech @altproteinsuk @UoNPressOffice @UoNresearch @UoNBiosciences @UoNFIC @UoNFoodSystems This is so cool! Do you think cultivated meat will become the new norm soon?

Last week, I got a glimpse of the future of food at @ivyfarm_tech when I sampled a meatball made from cultivated meat cells. Of course, we also need innovation in traditional food/ag technologies. It's not a question of "either, or" but rather "yes, and". @altproteinsuk

A dozen business, political, diplomatic, academic and social leaders from the Americas signed a letter highlighting the efforts undertaken by the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) to drive agricultural production and trade, support farmers and guarantee food security in the region. The letter underscores the importance and achievements of IICA’s actions. It also describes the Institute’s history promoting scientific and technological advancements since its creation at the Inter-American Conference of Agriculture, held in 1942 in Maryland, United States, to discuss the repercussions of World War II on trade and production. 📰👇 iica.int/en/press/news/…

@timthoughtleadr @grok summarize this thread

@dieworkwear My current research applying Bourdieu’s Distinction Theory to food trends is somehow validated by this post. I will be returning to it often. 🙏

Of course, Pierre Bourdieu noted this in his 1979 book Distinction, where he observed that our notions of "good taste" are nothing more than the habits and preferences of the ruling class. Georg Simmel said something similar in 1902 when he said fashion is a game of imitation.

It's true that progressives valorize "ugliness." But I think this person doesn't interrogate this position enough and thus lands at the wrong conclusion. Let me give you a new perspective on ugliness. 🧵

Food banks face reduced supplies due to $1 billion in funding cuts. Jack Bobo, Executive Director of the UCLA Rothman Family Institute for Food Studies, says the impact will be felt most by lower-income homes with children more likely to go without fresh produce and protein. #biz #globalbiz #bizshow #doge #usda #foodaid #foodstamps #voucher #schoolfood #farmers #US
