Regenerative Agriculture, Proper Water Management Crucial in Addressing Climate Crisis

Prodigy Press Wire

Over the past several years, the effects of climate change have been increasingly felt, with the past 12 months being the hottest such period in at least 125,000 years. The window to prevent a global climate catastrophe continues to shrink, and humans, who caused the problem, must act to find solutions. One such person who is taking action is Kevin Maher, co-founder and CEO of CrannMor Advisors, an innovative sustainable agriculture company based in upstate New York. A former commodities trader in NYC, he became interested in food and agriculture when his daughter developed a rare food intolerance. As he delved further into how her food was grown and sourced, he realized that agriculture could be a solution to more than nutritional issues. Already concerned with climate and biodiversity issues, Maher says that as he progressed along those paths, he realized that real solutions can be found for all three issues through how humans manage land through regenerative agriculture and proper water management. This led to him co-founding CrannMor Advisors. with Mark Shepard, the award-winning author of the books Restoration Agriculture: Real-World Permaculture for Farmers and Water for Any Farm: Applying Restoration Agriculture Water Management Methods on Your Farm. CrannMor aims to leverage the productivity and efficiency of regenerative agriculture practices to implement nature-based solutions while generating business success. By using agroforestry practices that combine perennial crops and livestock, they design agriculture systems to mimic the plant communities and ecosystems that evolved in the region. Working with the playbook developed by evolution gives many advantages, including a reduced reliance on expensive inputs. The company aims to establish a new model of farming that incorporates carbon sequestration, increased biodiversity, and improved land capacity to hold water while producing nutrient-dense food to feed people. “By applying these natural principles, we have the potential to put in place crops that meet human needs while providing habitat for microbes, insects, birds, and other life. This life in turn helps to cycle nutrients, control pests and diseases, and provide other services that we would have to do in their absence. We can rebuild the ecosystems that we've degraded and do it remarkably fast. I believe that's where a lot of the opportunity lies,” Maher says. Much of the public discourse around mitigating climate change is centered on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. This is important but ignores the vastly more powerful role of water in regulating the heat dynamics of the atmosphere. Restoring ecosystems with regenerative agriculture and re-vegetating our landscapes with perennial cover allows us to work with this powerful lever to cool the earth. To improve our management of water resources, CrannMor advocates for the Master Line Water Management System, developed by Mark Shepard. This system is a whole-farm water management system, designed to capture and spread water more efficiently and evenly across a farm property. It is geared towards improving water holding capacity and increasing soil fertility and depth. Maher adds that the carbon and water cycles are closely intertwined, and the more carbon that is present in the soil, the more water it can hold. Water is the ultimate limiting resource. Having more water allows for more plant growth, more transpiration that cools the landscape, more carbon capture, leading to more water storage, and then we have a virtuous cycle. Ecosystem restoration can cool down the environment more effectively than a narrow focus only on reducing carbon emissions. Regenerative agriculture also has huge potential from the perspective of an energy transition. Currently, our agricultural system is responsible for around 25% of carbon emissions. By leveraging the life in natural systems to capture energy and do the work we would otherwise need to do with inputs, we can greatly reduce fossil fuel inputs and fuels. Combining that reduction in fossil fuel use with the carbon drawdown potential of these agroforestry systems can be very powerful. Maher asks “How low can that number be driven with a regenerative approach? Can it go carbon-negative? Let’s find out.” “Agriculture at its core is about supplying energy for the human body through food,” Maher says. “Today's conventional high-input agriculture is heavily reliant on fossil fuels. So, essentially, it is transforming fossil fuels into human calories. What CrannMor and other advocates of regenerative agriculture propose is to go back and build ecosystems and ecological functions that capture as much solar energy as possible per unit of land and turn that into human calories. For example, an acre of corn creates a lot of calories but that is mostly feed for livestock and industry, not food. That same acre that also has shrubs, trees, and everything in between, can maximize the amount of sunlight we capture and transform it into food, while also restoring the ecosystem to have a lot of natural allies, such as insects, microbes, and so forth.” Media contact: Name: Kevin Maher Email: Info@CrannMorAdvisors.com Release ID: 844679

Changing Lanes and Overtaking: The Rise of Adolph and Other Chinese Brands

KISS PR Brand Story

On December 12, 2023, Adolph won the ECI Awards in recognition of Adolph's strong innovation in products and marketing. One of the effective ways to implement breakthroughs and upgrades to the original industry structure is to create new categories and achieve the purpose of "overtaking" through "changing lanes". In China's huge market, more and more Chinese brands are achieving development through the competitive strategy of "changing lanes and overtaking", closing the gap with the original leading brands, including Adolph, BYD and other brands. The story of BYD’s impact on the automotive landscape through new energy vehicles is well known. The development process of Adolph entering the first camp of the cleaning and care industry through fragranced cleaning and care products is also worthy of attention. The emergence of new categories such as scented shampoos has changed consumers' original perception of functional shampoos. International brands including Procter & Gamble, L'Oreal and other brands are also launching more and more scented toiletries. Human beings used plant ash, soap locust, etc. to wash their hair a hundred years ago, pursuing the cleaning effect; In modern times, people focus on functions such as anti-dandruff, smoothness, oil removal, and scalp care, and also pursue primary pleasure experiences such as rich lathering... However, these shampoo and hair care products mainly focus on "efficiency upgrade" and always focus on the effect on the external scalp and hair. The ingredients are becoming more and more complex, and there are more and more functional concepts, but they are all accumulated in quantity and there is no qualitative breakthrough. The shampoo industry is also looking for a qualitative breakthrough. This mission of change in the washing and care industry is destined to be answered by Chinese entrepreneurs who focus on "seeking wisdom from the inside." The Adolph "Emotional Fragrance Shampoo" category is based on the past cleaning and care effects, and uses a unique fragrance to bring pleasure. It not only allows users to achieve physical hygiene and health of their scalp and hair, but also achieves emotional relief to further promote hair health, achieve physical and mental pleasure, and maintain the health of their scalp and hair both internally and externally. If BYD does not focus on new energy vehicles, it will not be able to break through the hundreds of years of absolute dominance of traditional foreign oil vehicles. Now, all well-known car brands in the world have shifted their development focus to the new energy vehicle category. If Adolph had not found the brand positioning of "high-end fragrance care", it would also have been unable to break through the absolute advantages of foreign shampoo brands in the Chinese market. It is worth noting that these Chinese companies that have "overtaking in changing lanes" no longer rely on their original low-price tactics. They are also trying to squeeze into the mid-to-high-end brand camp and win the trust of consumers through high-quality products and brand premiums. Adolph's Emotional Fragrance Shampoo has a sales volume of over 100 bottles, and BYD's Look Up Car has sales of over a million. These brands are trying to capture the market by relying on quality-price ratio. From "overtaking in corners" to "overtaking in changing lanes", from fighting in the Red Ocean to developing new blue ocean strategies, Chinese brands should rely on technological innovation. This has become the consensus of many Chinese entrepreneurs, and more and more Chinese companies are becoming an effective force in promoting the development of the industry, which is undoubtedly worthy of expectation and respect.

The Evolving Workplace: Adriane Lee Schwartz Explores the Balance Between Remote and In-Office Dynamics

Prodigy Press Wire

The stringent safety measures implemented by the governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic urged employers to adapt their work arrangements to ensure business continuity and prioritize employee safety. This positioned remote work into the mainstream. According to a 2020 survey, 62% of the labor force in the United States worked remotely to some extent. This transition presented numerous challenges, from employers being forced to immediately adapt their operational structures and invest in remote communication technologies to employees needing to deal with blurred work-life boundaries. Despite these challenges, many believe that the advantages of remote work outweigh the cons. Several studies indicate that a significant number of American workers prefer to adopt remote or hybrid work models even after pandemic-related regulations are eased. According to a survey by Gartner, Inc., 74 percent of companies surveyed expect some of their employees to continue working remotely after the pandemic ends. These developments initiate discussions surrounding the potential permanence of remote work in the post-pandemic era. Contributing to the narrative is the fact that remote work becoming more mainstream has helped people with disabilities find and maintain employment. Over five million individuals with disabilities were employed in September 2022, underlining a significant 500,000 jump from the previous year. Adriane Lee Schwartz, the founder of Style Search & Consulting, LLC, draws from her extensive experience and expertise to challenge the assumptions regarding remote and in-office work preferences. Schwartz provides a fresh perspective, proposing that not all employees desire a work-from-home setup. She argues that while some thrive in remote environments, a significant segment of the workforce yearns for traditional office spaces' collaborative and stimulating atmosphere. The seasoned consultant highlights the misconception that most employees seek remote work in an attempt to evade responsibilities or slack off. Schwartz stated, "As an employee advocate, I've encountered numerous people who prefer the camaraderie and productivity of an office environment. They prefer this setup because they believe being physically present fosters a collaborative spirit. It brings value to organizational dynamics." Consequently, Schwartz acknowledges the increasing workforce segment that prefers working remotely for various reasons, such as flexibility, better work-life balance, or the need to accommodate personal situations. However, it is worth underscoring that this preference does not fit all roles or industries. Schwartz noted, "While remote work suits some positions, it might not align seamlessly with others." In other words, it is significant to understand that a one-size-fits-all approach to remote work is not viable, given that certain occupations and industries require in-person collaboration to achieve optimal productivity and innovation. Schwartz champions the notion that employers must adopt flexible models to cater to employees' varying needs. These models encompass hybrid arrangements that allow for a blend of remote and in-person work or role-specific policies tailored to ensure both productivity and employee satisfaction. Schwartz also emphasizes companies’ pivotal role in effectively managing remote workers. "Before bringing people on board, the management must strategize how to navigate this work arrangement to avoid lapses," she commented. The experienced recruiter cautions against the blind adoption of remote work culture. Citing an instance where remote work backfired for her clients, she shared, "The work-from-home setup has hurt many of my clients. In particular, I've had two of them experience somebody taking a job with them and agreeing to work remotely. But that individual ended up working two full-time jobs." Such situations can negatively impact businesses’ overall performance and productivity. Schwartz's insights illustrate the complexities that come with the shifting trends in work arrangements across industries. Remote work offers various benefits, such as reduced commute stress and the opportunity for deep focus, especially for roles like design. Meanwhile, in-office work fosters collaboration, which is vital for occupations reliant on joint brainstorming sessions. Ultimately, Adriane Lee Schwartz advocates for a balanced approach that respects individual preferences while ensuring organizational efficiency and integrity. Companies must adapt and innovate their hiring approach to attract top-tier individuals. An open-minded hiring strategy that values talent, skills, potential, and character over geographic proximity would reshape the broader industry, paving the way for growth and excellence.

Registered investment advisors (RIAs) are more concerned about their liabilities for a cyberbreach or theft of data than any other potential business exposure, according to the 2023 RIA Risk Survey from insurance brokerage Golsan Scruggs. Nearly nine out of every 10 RIAs surveyed listed Cyber/Privacy Data Breach as their most pressing corporate risk. That concern increased slightly from 2020’s RIA Risk Survey. “The complexity of advisor technology stacks and the data-driven nature wealth management has raised the risks advisors face in handling and protecting client data, and RIAs know it,” said Kenneth Golsan, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Golsan Scruggs. “Managing and mitigating that risk should be top of mind for any RIA.” The second-highest risk concern for RIAs was regulatory compliance/audit, followed by trade execution/errors. Lowest on the list of concerns was employee dishonesty, which includes theft by employees of either company or client assets. Golsan Scruggs surveyed approximately 8,000 independent RIAs from August through October to determine which areas of risk are collectively perceived as concerning, significant, and central to their businesses. Respondents were asked to rank 10 different risks in order from lowest to highest. “RIAs are businesses, and it is important for all business owners to assess and limit their liabilities through smart management, best practices, and risk mitigation,” Golsan said. “Our survey shows that RIAs increasingly understand many of the risks to their businesses, which is good news for the industry and the clients it serves.” To access the full survey results, please visit Golsan Scruggs at www.gsRIA.com.

Until the end of 2022, the product was only being sold in Israel.
