AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoFertiliser squeeze hits Europe’s food chain: EU leaders are weighing a long-term plan that leans on cow manure after the Strait of Hormuz disruption threatens fertiliser flows, with officials warning it may not be enough for farmers facing rising costs. G7 finance talks: G7 ministers in Paris agreed trade-imbalance action and called for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, while also discussing rare earth supply and keeping pressure on Russia. Circular economy push: The European Environment Agency says scaling circularity could cut EU climate impact by 22% and cut air pollution by 25%, but urges faster investment across sectors including food. Packaging and shelf-life watch: UK consumers are scrutinising tinned tomatoes and lining chemicals, while storage tips (like keeping onions away from potatoes) underline how small choices affect waste. Brand culture, not perfection: Strongbow’s “Refreshing the nation” campaign and Ballantine’s authenticity-led music push both signal a wider shift toward real, local connection.
