PLANT-BASED BEVERAGE GUIDE PAGE 3 THE DAIRY THAT GAVE UP DAIRY Elmhurst® 1925 was once a renowned New York City dairy – in fact, the only dairy in the entire metropolis. Then, in 2016, it closed. The next year, on the opposite side of New York State, a new company appeared selling plant milks. It was also called Elmhurst. This had to be coincidence. A dairy would never switch to making non-dairy milk… would it? It did. When Henry Schwartz, keeper of Elmhurst’s 90-year old dairy tradition, converted to plant-based nutrition, it wasn’t about economics. It was for a simpler, better – and ultimately more sustainable – way of living. His partnership with famous food scientist, Dr. Cheryl Mitchell, allowed Elmhurst to harness the nutrition of nuts, grains, and seeds like no one else. N Elmhurst 1925 is uniquely simpler, better.

  • Plant-Based Milk Alternatives

    Plant-Based Milk Alternatives

    Behind the hype: Plant-based milk alternatives Why is this an issue? Health concerns, sustainability and changing diets are some of the reasons people are choosing plant-based alternatives to cow’s milk. This rise in popularity has led to an increased range of milk alternatives becoming available. Generally, these alternatives contain less nutrients than cow’s milk. In particular, cow’s milk is an important source of calcium, which is essential for growth and development of strong bones and teeth. The nutritional content of plant-based milks is an important consideration when replacing cow’s milk in the diet, especially for young children under two-years-old, who have high nutrition needs. What are plant-based Table 1: Some Nutrients in milk alternatives? cow’s milk and plant-based Plant-based milk alternatives include legume milk alternatives (soy milk), nut (almond, cashew, coconut, macadamia) and cereal-based (rice, oat). Other ingredients can include vegetable oils, sugar, and thickening ingredients Milk type Energy Protein Calcium kJ/100ml g/100ml mg/100ml such as gums, emulsifiers and flavouring.

  • Everything but the Moo

    Everything but the Moo

    CHEESE everything but the moo PgO Everything but the Moo It’s a new era for nondairy cheese. by roberT wemiSChNer ACFCHEFS.ORG 37 CHEESE everything but the moo ir Isaac Newton may not have had the world of specialty food in mind when he said that “every action has an equal and opposite reaction,” but some of the same logic seems to be at play in the world of food, particularly in the growing corner occupied by artisanal scheese. One cannot consider the meteoric rise of small-scale dairy-based cheesemaking in this country without giving a nod to the burgeoning category of nondairy cheese. Nondairy cheeses are being hungrily incorporated into the diets of vegans, vegetarians and others who wish to enjoy some of the pleasures of real cheese without the offending dairy ingredients. Many are nut-based rather than dairy-based, but cultured and shaped to resemble classic European cheeses in a bid to gain the attention of a broad audience. Unlike the often unpalatable nondairy cheeses born out of the counterculture hippie fringe of 40 years ago, today there is a wide range of nondairy cheese products, some based on soy, rice or coconut milk, some containing lactose and casein, and others that are soft and creamy versions PHOTO CREDITS Previous page: Kevin Deseuste, 2014; top: Kunstadt; bottom, left to right: Photography © Liza Gershman, enlivened with herbs and based on cashews, almonds, macadamia or Brazil nuts. There are soft nut-based cheeses with the texture and nearly the taste of fresh ricotta, and rounds that can be cut like semisoft cheese, cultured, molded and even aged like their dairy counterparts.

    Biomass Basics: the Facts About Bioenergy 1 We Rely on Energy Every Day

    Biomass Basics: The Facts About Bioenergy 1 We Rely on Energy Every Day Energy is essential in our daily lives. We use it to fuel our cars, grow our food, heat our homes, and run our businesses. Most of our energy comes from burning fossil fuels like petroleum, coal, and natural gas. These fuels provide the energy that we need today, but there are several reasons why we are developing sustainable alternatives. 2 We are running out of fossil fuels Fossil fuels take millions of years to form within the Earth. Once we use up our reserves of fossil fuels, we will be out in the cold - literally - unless we find other fuel sources. Bioenergy, or energy derived from biomass, is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels because it can be produced from renewable sources, such as plants and waste, that can be continuously replenished. Fossil fuels, such as petroleum, need to be imported from other countries Some fossil fuels are found in the United States but not enough to meet all of our energy needs. In 2014, 27% of the petroleum consumed in the United States was imported from other countries, leaving the nation’s supply of oil vulnerable to global trends. When it is hard to buy enough oil, the price can increase significantly and reduce our supply of gasoline – affecting our national security. Because energy is extremely important to our economy, it is better to produce energy in the United States so that it will always be available when we need it. Use of fossil fuels can be harmful to humans and the environment When fossil fuels are burned, they release carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere.

    NON-DAIRY MILKS 2018 - TREND INSIGHT REPORT It’S on the Way to Becoming a $3.3 Billion Market, and Has Seen 61% Growth in Just a Few Years

    NON-DAIRY MILKS 2018 - TREND INSIGHT REPORT It’s on the way to becoming a $3.3 billion market, and has seen 61% growth in just a few years. Non-dairy milks are the clear successor to cow (dairy) milk. Consumers often perceive these products as an answer to their health and wellness goals. But the space isn’t without challenges or considerations. In part one of this two- part series, let’s take a look at the market, from new product introductions to regulatory controversy. COW MILK ON THE DECLINE Cow milk (also called dairy milk) has been on the decline since 2012. Non-dairy milks, however, grew 61% in the same period. Consumers are seeking these plant-based alternatives that they believe help them feel and look better to fulfill health and wellness goals. Perception of the products’ health benefits is growing, as consumers seek relief from intolerance, digestive issues and added sugars. And the market reflects it. Non-dairy milks climbed 10% per year since 2012, a trend that’s expected to continue through 2022 to become a $3.3 billion-dollar market.2 SOY WHAT?

    Almond Milk on the Rise

    Featuring LU ANN WILLIAMS Director of Innovation, Innova Market Insights Almond milk on the rise A plethora of plant-based, non-dairy milks has taken root even in mainstream supermarkets, and one standout among the options is almond milk. Lu Ann Williams, director of innovation, Innova Market Insights, has certainly noticed almond milk’s rise, noting “it just never stops” when it comes to innovation in the space. We sat down to talk the future of almond milk with Williams, and learned that this is one product category that is just getting started. Almond milk may seem WILLIAMS like it’s everywhere these What we’re really seeing now is that the value of the almond milk category days, but does the data has grown faster than the volume. So when you look at the almond milk back up its success? beverages in stores, you realize that these are not boring products that you just pour on your cereal or in your smoothie. We are seeing new and interesting flavors and textures and that’s why value is growing faster than volume. It’s a premiumization story. And in global terms, almond milk is growing fastest in terms of launch activity—in other words, its share of “new” products are growing significantly faster than the dairy alternative category as a whole. So we see a category average growth rate of 22 percent for all dairy alternative beverage launches from 2012 to 2016, while almond milk is growing at 36.5 percent in terms of launches.

A Reasoned Overview of Potentials and Limits Tiziano Gomiero Independent Consultant and Researcher on Multi-Criteria Farming and Food System Analysis, Agro-Energies, Environmental Issues, Treviso 30121, Italy; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-32-0464-3496 Academic Editor: Andrew Kusiak Received: 7 April 2015 / Accepted: 26 June 2015 / Published: 30 June 2015 Abstract: In this paper, I analyze the constraints that limit biomass from becoming an alternative, sustainable and efficient energy source, at least in relation to the current metabolism of developed countries. In order to be termed sustainable, the use of an energy source should be technically feasible, economically affordable and environmentally and socially viable, considering society as a whole. Above all, it should meet society’s “metabolic needs,” a fundamental issue that is overlooked in the mainstream biofuels narrative. The EROI (Energy Return on Investment) of biofuels reaches a few units, while the EROI of fossil fuels is 20–30 or higher and has a power density (W/m2) thousands of times higher than the best biofuels, such as sugarcane in Brazil. When metabolic approaches are used it becomes clear that biomass cannot represent an energy carrier able to meet the metabolism of industrialized societies. For our industrial society to rely on “sustainable biofuels” for an important fraction of its energy, most of the agricultural and non-agricultural land would need to be used for crops, and at the same time a radical cut to our pattern of energy consumption would need to be implemented, whilst also achieving a significant population reduction.
