Agriculture is the second largest contributor to global greenhouse gasses slightly behind energy and yet the technological innovation in ag is just beginning with so much potential ahead. This is critical infrastructure for our food system

Good thread that's worth a read from @YQuint about the pieces that came out today on the plant-based meat industry. Yossi is well positioned to understand the challenges as well as the opportunities facing this category given his current work as well as his prior life.
Plant-based meat is struggling (see @deenashanker Bloomberg piece or @shannonosaka WashPo piece, both published today). A lot of the convo has been around PB being overly processed or not healthy. Price and taste get airtime but are the side-dish. I disagree. 🧵

@scottbelsky Or else build a compelling product / api that plugs into any co data warehouse and builds a larger and larger set of cross-company info on a customer. That would push co's to want to opt-in. Basically tech-driven coalition loyalty

@scottbelsky There are examples of this working in the coalition loyalty model which is much more popular in Canada (i.e. AirMiles) where you can earn across partners, but ultimately the issue with portability is co's don't want that customer loyalty / data going to competitors
