The Doomsday Clock has been moved to 100 seconds till midnight. It would surprise few to wake up one day and receive an alert on our phones telling us that a missile was launching, another plague had started, or that food reserves could no longer support our current population.

How Farm Raised Frankenfish Attack Wild Salmon and Environment Hooked by False Marketing
One of my fondest memories is catching salmon in the Pacific Ocean in younger days. A small live herring is hooked through its back, lowered into the dark water to be a delicious snack for a passing salmon. Once caught, the sudden flight away, the spin reel whirring, the run-and-pull minutes to gradually tire out its strength to survive, and finally lifting up the beautiful silver scaled fish.

Going Down To The Farm
This weekend there will be an annual concert held to raise funds for farmers called Farm Aid. In the US, there are 2 million farms in operation across the country. 98% of them are family owned and operated. The farming industry hires 965,000 workers, bringing in 451 billion dollars a year. Farmers Markets have been around for centuries, as a way for farmers to sell their goods directly to consumers. Today, Farmers Markets are still just as profitable, as 19,000 farmers report this is the only way they sell their produce to people who visit these locations every year. When attending a Farmers Market, here is a way to make the most of your trip.

ESG is the Necessary Evil, and the Markets and Entrepreneurs are Taking Full Advantage
A few months ago, I published a piece arguing that ESG will become the new bottom line. This is not a politically motivated statement, and I don’t fully agree with the ESG approach. I do believe however, it is time to change, and it is time for executives, entrepreneurs, and investors to appreciate we are at an economic and societal transition point. This transition will force us to engage the consumer base more dynamically, while placing greater efforts to decarbonize our business operations. These issues are both good for business and good for society provided companies and investors are willing to take risk and change. Capitalism models should be leveraged to create profits while absorbing the societal problem-solving more systematically. Please note that I have adopted a rather broad definition of ESG in my analysis to ensure I capture the sustainability, clean tech, and climate risk investment trends.
