Investing in the Earth: Natural, Organic and Regenerative Food and Ag Surges in Popularity
by Steve Hoffman of Compass Natural Marketing
NORTHAMPTON, MA / / May 19, 2025 / The market for organic food and agriculture has grown significantly since the National Organic Program was first established in 2001, placing the USDA Certified Organic seal on products that qualify for this distinction. Today, it's a $70-billion market that's been growing an average of 8% per year. And while it may be maturing, younger consumers, including new parents and their babies, are eating it up. And now, in the post-pandemic era, investors are once again paying attention to the potential of organic and regenerative products and brands that take into account health and the environment, and how the way we produce our food and consumer products affects climate change.
A survey released recently by the Organic Trade Association (OTA), the industry's leading trade group, found that organic's benefits to personal health and nutrition are resonating deeply with Millennials and Gen Zer's, making them the most committed organic consumers of any generation. Also, a February 2025 study by the Acosta Group, one of the nation's top natural and organic products sales firms, reflected that 75% of all shoppers purchased at least one natural or organic product in the six months prior to the survey, with 59% responding that they think it's important that their groceries and/or household products are natural and organic because they "are better for them" and "they tend to have fewer synthetic chemicals and additives."
Natural and Organic Industry is a Force. Overall, the natural and organic products industry combined has more than tripled in size since 2007, growing from $97 billion in sales in 2007 to over $325 billion in 2024, according to data compiled by New Hope Network, SPINS (a division of Nielsen), Whipstitch Capital and others.

You vs. America: See How You Compare in 5 Money Categories
Everyone's financial situation is different and depends on various factors. At times, it can feel like you've fallen behind and are much worse off than you actually are, so it's always good to see how you stack up against the average American. Find Out: Read Next: Here are five financial categories, along with where most people in the U.S. typically fall within them. Salary Median monthly income: $5,174 Median yearly income: $62,088 Numerous factors can affect your salary, including the type of job you have, the state it's in, the amount of experience you have and your level of education. Explore More: Retirement Savings Gen Z: $13,500 average 401(k) balance and $6,672 average individual retirement account balance, equaling $20,172 Millennials: $67,300 average 401(k) balance and $25,109 average IRA balance, equaling $92,409 Gen X: $192,300 average 401(k) balance and $103,952 average IRA balance, equaling $296,252 Baby boomers: $249,300 average 401(k) balance and $257,002 average IRA balance, equaling $506,302 Saving for retirement early allows your money to compound over time. Because of this, Americans' retirement savings can be drastically different, depending on which stage of life they're in. Whether you're in line with your generation's average or not, it's important to regularly put money away in order to maximize the amount of compound interest you'll receive over time. Emergency Savings Gen Z: $200 median emergency savings Millennials: $500 Gen X: $868 Boomers: $1,000 Most finance experts will advise you to maintain an emergency fund that would cover at least three to six months of your normal expenses. This allows you to avoid going into debt when an unfortunate life event takes place, such as a medical emergency, vehicle breakdown or job loss. However, today, 42% of U.S. citizens don't have any money saved up for an emergency, which means having any savings at all can put you ahead of most. The median amount that Americans have saved for an emergency is $600, well below the suggested amount. And none of the amounts by generation would cover you for three to six months, so even if you're ahead of the curve, it's best to keep saving. Credit Card Debt Average: $6,329 Credit card balances across the nation have been on the rise. In the second quarter of 2021, TransUnion reported that the average borrower had $4,828 in debt. Just three years later, in the second quarter of 2024, the average borrower had a balance of $6,329. Even if your credit card balance is below the U.S. average, it's a good idea to try to get it to zero. With high interest rates, even small credit card balances can have an extremely negative effect on your financial health. Monthly Groceries Average monthly spending: $315-$1,690 (varies depending on family size and budget type) Groceries continue to get more expensive, causing many to wonder how much spending is too much. At the end of 2024, a report found that adults who are between 19 and 50 in a four-person household spend $350 per person per month on groceries. Of course, this depends on your budget and diet. Men on a low-cost budget spend $360, those on a moderate budget spend $445 and those on a liberal budget spend $525 each month. Meanwhile, women spend $315 per month on a low-cost budget, $385 on a moderate budget and $490 on a liberal budget. For those with families, the costs are more in the thousands per month.

Witkoff scrambles for peace deal with Russia as sanctions loom targeting India, China
White House envoy Steve Witkoff is preparing for a trip to Russia on Wednesday, two days ahead of President Donald Trump's Aug. 8 deadline for Moscow to enter into a ceasefire or face stiff sanctions. But the escalated deadline, which Trump cut by nearly a month last week after first issuing Russian President Vladimir Putin a 50-day deadline in mid-July, has done little to curb the Kremlin's violence in Ukraine. If a peace deal is not reached by Friday, Putin's chief commodity will become the primary target as the U.S. will begin 100% sanctions on nations that purchase Russian oil in a move to dissuade them from fueling Russia's economy, and by extension, its war chest. But even with the threat of possibly lower oil sales to nations like India and China, which are the world's top purchasers of Russian oil, reports on Tuesday suggested that Witkoff's last-ditch effort to talk peace with Putin is not expected to make much, if any, headway. A report by Reuters said that not only is little expected from Witkoff's efforts, but Putin is also undeterred by Trump's threat of secondary sanctions. Trump on Tuesday told CNBC that he planned to raise the current 25% tariffs on India "very substantially" within the next 24 hours. "They're fueling the war machine, and if they're going to do that, then I'm not going to be happy," he said. Given that Trump has already said he plans to hit any nation that trades with Moscow with 100% secondary sanctions, it is unclear if he still plans to hit both India and China with trading fines this high. Neither the White House nor the Treasury Department returned Fox News Digital's questions regarding the unclear looming tariff rates. But India has pushed back on the tariffs, calling them "unjustified and unreasonable." In a statement on Monday, Randhir Jaiswal, spokesperson for India's foreign ministry, said following Russia's invasion and subsequent Western boycotts of Russian oil, the U.S. allegedly encouraged India to import Russian gas "for strengthening global energy markets stability." But it is not just financial aid that India is accused of being involved in when it comes to Russia's war in Ukraine. Ukraine on Tuesday said it had found "Indian-made components in Russian attack drones – including the Shahed/Geran models." "Russia must be denied access to foreign-made parts that enable these weapons and the killing of Ukrainians," Andriy Yermak, presidential chief of staff, said on X. These drones have infamously been used to not only hit military points along the front lines in Ukraine, but have routinely targeted Ukrainian civilians, including in a series of overnight strikes. "Last night, the Russians launched a ballistic missile and nearly 50 UAVs against Ukraine, most of them Russian-Iranian 'shaheds,'" Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday. "Many drones were shot down by our defenders, but unfortunately, there were hits." Zelenskyy confirmed that one person was killed and 10 were injured, including two children, after 25 shahed drones pounded the city of Lozova in the Kharkiv region. The Zaporizhzhia, Odesa and Sumy regions were also struck, and two others were apparently injured. "Once again, the Russian army is hunting civilians in an attempt to terrorize frontline cities and communities," Zelenskyy said. Despite concerns that sanctions could have little effect on Putin's war ambitions, Zelenskyy argued they could "contribute" to ending the war. "The world now sees that sanctions against Russia, and secondary sanctions against all those who help it profiteer from oil, can work if they are strong enough," he said. "Therefore, pressure must be increased, and this will undoubtedly contribute to peace." Fox News Digital could not immediately reach the Indian Embassy in Washington, D.C., or Witkoff's team for comment.

Kentucky's $9B whiskey industry in crisis as Gen Z drinkers shun bourbon, tariffs take toll
Kentucky's legendary whiskey business is experiencing its worst crisis in decades, with major distilleries shutting down and thousands of jobs at risk as the industry struggles against declining sales, changing drinking habits among Gen Z consumers and damaging trade disputes. Three prominent Kentucky distilleries have collapsed into bankruptcy over the past eight months, marking a dramatic downturn for an industry that generates $9 billion annually for the state. LMD Holdings, which operates Luca Mariano Distillery, owes more than $25 million to creditors, while Garrard County Distilling faces nearly $26 million in debts. Advertisement Kentucky Owl, owned by international spirits company Stoli Group, has also filed for bankruptcy protection with millions in outstanding obligations. 4 Bottling lines stand idle at Kentucky distilleries as the state's $9 billion whiskey industry faces widespread shutdowns. Chance – The financial devastation extends far beyond individual companies. More than 23,000 workers across Kentucky's whiskey region depend on the industry for their livelihoods, with combined wages totaling $1.6 billion. Even established giants like Brown-Forman have eliminated hundreds of positions, while major producer Diageo has temporarily halted operations at Kentucky facilities. Advertisement The crisis stems from a dangerous combination of overproduction and rapidly shifting consumer preferences. During the bourbon boom of the 2000s, distilleries dramatically expanded production and investment, creating what industry experts now recognize as an unsustainable bubble. Kentucky currently stores over 14.3 million aging barrels of whiskey — more than two barrels for every person living in the state. This massive inventory buildup coincided with a sharp decline in demand. Advertisement American whiskey sales dropped 1.8% in 2024 to $5.2 billion, according to industry data. 4 Gen Z drinkers toast with lighter beverages, signaling a cultural turn away from high-proof spirits. Koldo_Studio – The problem has been made worse by younger drinkers, particularly those in Gen Z who are abandoning traditional high-proof bourbon in favor of ready-to-drink canned cocktails and lighter alcoholic beverages like hard seltzers. Social media platforms, especially TikTok, have accelerated this trend by promoting sweeter, lower-alcohol drinks as fashionable alternatives to whiskey. These viral trends have fundamentally changed how young adults view alcohol consumption, dealing a significant blow to bourbon's cultural appeal. Advertisement Alcohol use among young Americans has declined sharply over the past two decades, with the share of adults under 35 who drink falling from 72% in the early 2000s to 62% today. Binge drinking and underage drinking have dropped significantly, with Gen Z consuming 20% less alcohol per capita than Millennials did at the same age. Experts attribute the shift to growing health awareness, changing social norms, the rise of alcohol alternatives and economic or cultural forces shaping how younger generations view drinking. International trade disputes have created additional headaches for Kentucky producers who rely heavily on export markets. Canada, which purchases $40 million worth of Kentucky bourbon annually, imposed retaliatory tariffs earlier this year in response to President Donald Trump's levies on Canadian imports. 4 Historic distilleries across Kentucky, once booming, now struggle under the weight of overproduction and debt. Reagan – Trump's tariffs prompted Ontario retailers to remove American spirits from their shelves entirely. Michter's distillery alone lost $115,000 in cancelled Canadian orders. Advertisement The European Union presents an even larger threat, with plans to implement a 50% tariff on American whiskey that have been delayed several times in order to allow for trade negotiations to run their course. In 2020, the bloc imposed a 35% tariff on American whiskey, causing exports to drop precipitously. The financial pressure has exposed how many distilleries expanded too aggressively during the boom years, taking on risky debt loads that became impossible to manage as market conditions deteriorated. Advertisement Both startup operations and long-established companies have found themselves vulnerable to the sudden downturn. Industry leaders are now calling for major changes to help distilleries survive what they describe as a perfect storm of challenges. Proposed solutions include greater emphasis on sustainable production methods, expanded bourbon tourism experiences and development of ready-to-drink products that appeal to younger consumers. The crisis extends beyond distillery walls, threatening grain farmers who supply raw materials, tourism businesses that depend on bourbon trail visitors, and entire communities built around whiskey production. Advertisement 4 Aging barrels sit untouched, highlighting the deep inventory glut distilleries can't move fast enough. Jason Busa – Without significant changes in consumer behavior or resolution of trade disputes, Kentucky's signature industry faces a period of painful shrinkage. Industry analysts warn that conditions could deteriorate further if drinking trends continue moving away from traditional spirits and if international trade conflicts escalate. The state's bourbon heritage, built over centuries, now confronts an uncertain future that will require dramatic adaptation to survive.
