That’s a big win because it’s been a long time with no research at all on that. Soon we anticipate having more information to help customers and consumers assess their allergen risks. The environmental stewardship and nutrition infographics are also big wins for the industry. The Almond Board’s California Almond Stewardship Platform (CASP) leverages our research and creates tools to help growers. The self- assessment collects information on farm practices across our orchards and aggregates the data, supporting our communications in this space. These are important wins because we need to make it easy for people to see almonds as the ingredient of choice. And we need them to understand what growers are already doing to deliver a healthy, safe product, while being excellent stewards of their land.

AF: Good choice! Finally, do you have any closing thoughts for our member-growers ? CT: For the growers, we are so grateful for their trust and support. We welcome their involvement in Board activities. We’re trying to do the best we can every single day to make sure that we are maximizing the investment of their three cents per pound.
