World Food Day

» Today (October 16) is World Food Day. Don't feel bad that you don't know that it's a thing because I only learned about it last week. This international day is created in honour of the date of the founding of the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization in 1945. It's celebrated in many countries to raise awareness on important issues such as food hunger, food security, malnutrition and the impact of our food consumption on Mother Nature with different themes each year. To commemorate the day, I would like to suggest ways you can partake.
Seafood industry must walk talk

» Recently, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) announced that the US will be suspending US$1.3 billion (39.2 billion baht) in trade preferences for Thailand under Generalised System of Preference (GSP) by April 2020. The USTR cited a failure to "adequately provide internationally recognised worker rights" in the seafood industry as the main reason for the withdrawal. Thailand now has six months to negotiate and resolve rights issues before the suspension takes effect.
