  17. Peter Mugabo, the new pumpkin farmer, proudly called some of us to visit the pumpkins he recently grew. They really looked nice and inspiring. So what do you think, fellow #farmers? Should we also grow pumpkins on our land...?

    Can we plant them in between our banana plantations, and will that work well without affecting the bananas?

  22. Can we create a universal visual language to describe our food systems, one that bridges cultural barriers, increases consumer literacy, and helps shift the marketplace?

    Yes.

    An oft-cited challenge facing global food systems is the lack of a common language. To address this dilemma, we’ve developed Foodicons, a respected, validated, and imminently useful universal language to describe our agri-food systems.
