One press trip. Five days. Fifteen Visits and Briefings.

And one mission: to bring the realities of sustainable U.S. agriculture to life for Europe’s media.

From rice fields supporting migratory wildlife to dairy farms generating renewable energy, and from innovative almond orchards to regenerative organic farming, California provided the backdrop for our latest international press trip conceived and managed by gt&i.

The five-day programme gave European journalists representing agricultural, food industry, business and consumer media access to the people, practices and technologies shaping American agriculture.  It was developed with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), the Almond Board of California, USA Rice, U.S. Dairy Export Council and Organic Trade Association on behalf of the U.S. Sustainability Alliance’s (USSA).

With journalist evaluation and media coverage tracking, the trip helps USSA bring a more informed, evidence-led sustainability narrative to European audiences.

A huge congratulations to our own Henry (right), who successfully summited Mont Blanc (4,805.59m) on Saturday in support of the Tendi Sherpa Foundation @tendisherpafoundation.

The foundation works to improve education, healthcare and opportunities for Sherpa communities in Nepal, helping to create lasting positive change in some of the world’s most remote mountain regions.

The climb demanded serious technical mountaineering skills, including crevasse crossings, exposed ridge scrambling and navigating challenging alpine terrain at high altitude. Alongside the ascent, Henry was also documenting the expedition for Moncler, with photography from the trip set to feature in Vogue France.

An incredible achievement both on and off the mountain.
