Article; EUDR delay poses challenges for cocoa companies
https://news.mongabay.com/2024/12/uncertainty-amid-eudr-delay-poses-challenges-for-cocoa-companies-farmers/
It might not come as much of a surprise that Tony’s Chocolonely has expressed its support for the EU Regulation on Deforestation-free Products (EUDR). The Dutch chocolate maker is known as much for its emphasis on sustainable business practices as for the cartoonish labels that have enveloped its products since 2005. Tony’s even came out strongly against a delay in the EUDR rules designed to ensure that cocoa and six other commodities entering the European Union don’t come at the cost of forests elsewhere. What may be more surprising is that mainstream companies have also been pushing for the EUDR, which, whenever it becomes enforceable, will require an unprecedented level of monitoring and due diligence on supply chains for products entering the EU.

Article; Data Driven: Truckers, Technology, and the New Workplace Surveillance
https://academic.oup.com/ahr/article-abstract/129/3/1269/7745219
Over the past fifteen years, long-haul truckers have emerged as significant subjects of scholarly inquiry, including those described in Shane Hamilton’s award-winning Trucking Country: The Road to America’s Wal-Mart Economy (2008), which charted, among other things, the ways in which “bandit” drivers, the “last American cowboys” of the highway, undermined their own autonomy by supporting deregulation during the Carter and Reagan administrations and ultimately paved the way for the rise of the low-wage, contingent-labor economy. Recent trucking memoirs have also surfaced as review-worthy windows into the collapse of blue-collar dignity in the United States, including waning independence and the erosion of teamsters’ unions, declining wages and increased debt, and deteriorating public perceptions despite the critical role long-haul truckers play in providing the goods the rest of us want and need. In Data Driven, Karen Levy picks up the threads of the deteriorating conditions under which American “asphalt cowboys” continue to labor as underpaid, overworked, and surveilled subjects of electronic logging devices.

Article; Microchips in the Parmigiano
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/microchips-in-the-parmigiano-and-other-ways-europeans-are-fighting-fake-food/ar-AA1fn7ct
New methods to guarantee the origin of products are being used across the EU. Some wineries are putting serial numbers, invisible ink and holograms on their bottles. So-called DNA fingerprinting of milk bacteria pioneered in Switzerland, which isn’t in the EU, is now being tested inside the bloc as a method for identifying cheese. QR codes are also proliferating, including on individual portions of pre-sliced Prosciutto di San Daniele, a raw ham similar to Prosciutto di Parma. A smartphone can be used to show information such as how long the prosciutto has been aged and when it was sliced. Food fraud is particularly rampant for cheese and wine, but is also common with fresh and cured meats, fish and produce. In addition to fighting against products that fraudulently present themselves as the European original, the EU is also waging battles over the naming rights of cheeses and other products, trying to stop other countries from using names such as Champagne, feta and Gouda.
