  9. RE: mastodon.social/@joewo/1172134

    This video came across my feed just before this post, and I could not help but put them together for y'all.

    Now, here's the thing. We can all agree that #farmers are the beneficiaries of all the social programs we've enacted as a country. And we can all agree that they voted against their own interests.

    But the important thing, and I keep stressing this over and over, is that there IS GOING TO BE A FOOD CRISIS IN AMERICA. It's going to be bad. I am not a prepper in the traditional sense, but I really don't want to be Cassandra when this all happens. Please believe me when I tell you that ag futures and climate predictions on top of the labor problem means that #crops are not getting picked, and that means #food is going to be scarce, with a government that will not help.

    If you can #stockpile things which can help other people, like dried beans, nut butters, rice...it's not a bad idea to get a Quaker pantry going. I really fear what could come.

    “Global mountain regions have great biological, cultural, and spiritual value for people around the world, but progress in efforts to conserve montane resources has been slow. International researchers are now acting to construct a bioeconomy framework for global mountains that includes biodiversity, cultural protection, and restoration, circular economy principles, biotechnology innovation, digital integration, sustainable fair trade, and social equity and justice. Plans in five mountain regions are reviewed for initial actions to implement this framework…”

  21. #Farmers allege link between popular #herbicide and #Parkinsons disease

    November 29, 2023

    "It is against the law to use #paraquat in China, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and dozens of other countries. Many countries have banned the herbicide due to its extreme #toxicity, while others have expressed concerns over the possible risk for Parkinson's disease.

    "Yet the herbicide, manufactured by a #Swiss company that is owned by the #Chinese state, is still widely used throughout the #UnitedStates in part because it is a highly effective way to kill weeds.

    "The company, Syngenta, says that paraquat, which it produces under the name Gramoxone, 'is safe for its intended and labelled use.'

    "Clayton Tucholke, who used Gramoxone for years on his farm in LaBolt, #SouthDakota, and has since been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, says otherwise.

    "'It should have been pulled, I think, you know, so it didn't happen to somebody else,' Tucholke told ABC News.

    "A 76-year-old father and grandfather, Tucholke lived on his farm with his wife Denise, but as the symptoms of #Parkinson's have worsened, he says he was forced to give up his career in #agriculture and had to move to the nearby town of Milbank to be closer to medical professionals.

    "Daily tasks have become arduous for Tucholke, who now has to travel to physical therapy three times a week to slow the progression of his symptoms.

    "'This man was so independent,' Denise Tucholke said. 'And his independence has been taken from him, which is unfair.'

    "The Tucholkes are among the more than 4,000 Americans who have filed lawsuits as part of a multi-district litigation against #Syngenta, which currently manufactures #Gramoxone, and #Chevron, which distributed it in the U.S. from 1966 until 1986.

    "Although Syngenta and Chevron told ABC News that there is no scientific evidence that supports a causal link between #paraquat and #Parkinsonsdisease, the Tucholkes and other plaintiffs allege that such a link exists, arguing that Syngenta and Chevron knew or should have known that the #herbicide could 'cause severe #neurological injuries.'

    "'Our daughter and son-in-law are still #farming. I think any time [a] chemical is applied to the fields that they have to use, they should know what's going to happen,' Denise Tucholke said.

    "'All the generations that are coming up afterwards need to know,' she said."

    💰 Months after Pakistan’s #agricultural sector suffered #flood damage totalling billions of dollars, thousands of farmers are struggling in the absence of #compensation schemes.
