    I wouldn't be inclined, after hearing it, to use the Kerry Greenway (and I've already had experience of Kerry's deadly roads), but the piece on the Sheep's Head Peninsula greenway had me drooling

  22. Nutrition programs work better when they include #Indigenous food knowledge

    Researchers found nutrition programs work better when they include Indigenous food knowledge, local languages, and traditional practices.

    By Raquel Brandao, July 24, 2026

    Excerpt: "Cameras, cooking and conversation

    "Some things worked. #Storytelling, #workshops, and #CookingDemonstrations turned up again and again across the 39 studies, alongside #TalkingCircles, #ShortFilms and #SmartphoneApps.

    "The common thread is direction. Each of these methods lets people speak in their own words rather than sit and receive instruction.

    "In #NewZealand ( #Aotearoa ), researchers built a mobile health app together with #Māori and #Pasifika partners. The language, the stories, and the pictures all came from the communities the app was meant for.

    "Speaking with Earth.com, Rao described a project she led. 'In my own work, and one of the papers reviewed, I have used cameras and #DigitalTools with young women and men in an Indigenous community in #India to document their traditional food knowledges by speaking to the elders, visiting the forests and local markets, talking to women engaged in #foraging and #FoodPreparation.'

    "That project is one of the 39 studies in the review. An earlier paper followed ten Santhal young people in eastern India who were trained to make films.

    "They made nearly 50 films and screened them in their own villages. Older relatives supplied much of what went into them.

    Elders as teachers

    "Who holds the knowledge matters as much as what the knowledge is. #Elders, #healers, #farmers, and #women each carry different parts of it.

    "None of it arrives as a curriculum. It moves between generations through cooking, gathering and long conversation, which is exactly what a nutrition leaflet cannot carry.

    " 'Reclaiming and recognising #IndigenousKnowledge , values and practices to address the different elements of nutrition and health involves recognising intergenerational and wider social relations, and engaging everyone from the elders, healers, educators and farmers to service providers, policymakers and academics, to together raise issues and find solutions,' said Rao.

    "Traditional foods carry knowledge of the local landscape in a way nothing else does. The review treats them as practical resources rather than heritage."

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…”

  26. #Online - Produce #SharingTables: An Approach to #GardenGrown #FoodAccess

    April 7 @ 6:00 pm - 7:15 pm
    Free – $15

    "This event is hosted by the University of Maine Cooperative Extension.

    This webinar will explore #WaldoCounty Bounty’s Give and Take program, a stigma-free model for sharing surplus #GardenProduce through community drop-off sites. Participants will learn how the program operates, how new sites are selected, and how to start a #GiveAndTake site in their own community. Developed during the COVID-19 pandemic to address farm losses and food insecurity in rural Waldo County, #Maine, where nearly 6,000 residents face #FoodInsecurity, the program connects local #gardeners, #farmers, and #neighbors to expand access to healthy, local food.

    Speakers: Viña Lindley, UMaine Extension Horticulture Professional and Mattie John Bamman, Waldo County Bounty Communications Coordinator"

  29. #Agroecology as the path to #ClimateResilient and just food systems

    By Dr Susan Chomba, Director Food, Land and Water at World Resources Institute Africa

    Monday, July 28, 2025 — updated on August 02, 2025

    "The 2nd National Agroecology Symposium, held in Nairobi from July 10–11, 2025, marked a pivotal moment in #Kenya’s food systems transformation.

    "The event brought together farmers, researchers, civil society, private sector actors, media, and policymakers with one clear message: Agroecology must move from the margins to the centre of national agricultural strategy. It is not just an alternative; it is the most viable path forward to achieve our intertwined goals for #people, #nature, and #climate—without compromising one for the other.
    Agroecology offers a coherent framework for #RegeneratingSoils, producing safe and nutritious food, and building #ClimateResilient and #equitable #FoodSystems.

    "As #ClimateChange intensifies, this approach provides Kenya and other #AfricanNations a powerful opportunity to lead a just transition—rooted in #LocalKnowledge, backed by #science, and responsive to the realities of #smallholder #farmers.

    A crossroads for Kenya’s food systems

    "Kenya’s food systems are at a crossroads. The dominant model—based on chemical-intensive agriculture and ultra-processed foods—is driving soil degradation, poor nutrition, increased prevalence of non-communicable diseases, and the pollution of our rivers and lakes. This model also contributes significantly to #biodiversity loss and #GreenhouseGasEmissions.

    "Alternatively, a more resilient and #sustainable path is within reach—one that aligns human health with ecological integrity. But this transition cannot be left to smallholder farmers alone. It requires coordinated leadership from governments—particularly ministries of agriculture, health, environment, and finance—as well as development partners, scientists, and the private sector.

    "Farmers should not be expected to feed a growing population and withstand escalating #ClimateShocks while being under-supported or misdirected by ineffective policies and subsidies. Without the right investments and incentives, we risk deepening the crisis.

    What agroecology is—and isn’t

    "Agroecology is too often misunderstood as a nostalgic return to low-productivity farming. In reality, it is a sophisticated, evidence-informed, and farmer-driven approach to transforming food systems in ways that are locally appropriate and ecologically sound. It is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but a dynamic practice that integrates scientific research with #TraditionalKnowledge.

    "The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) outlines 10 elements of agroecology, while the High-Level Panel of Experts (HLPE) has identified 13 principles. These include #RecyclingNutrients, enhancing biodiversity, strengthening synergies, and co-creating knowledge."

  31. Trump was played by #XiJinPing in Korea. Leaving the negotiation, #Trump calls it ‘amazing’ a ‘12’ on a scale of ten. In a previous post, I suggested perhaps a 4/10 was more indicative, but hey… I was wrong. This professor of econ, a #tariffs expert, gives Trump a -2. That’s right😱We’ve been duped again by #LyingTrump - a chaos monkey who creates conflict and disharmony only to walk it all back and declare a hollow victory. Let’s break it down: China reduces #RareEarth restrictions FOR A YEAR (meaning they could come back at any point after that), and agrees to buy half their usual #soybeans shipments from US #Farmers. So we’re kinda back where we were in April 25, with no long term resolution - just a ‘pause’ in the #TradeWar. Have a listen… #economy #finance #markets
