  2. “If producer organisations are to help #farmers to stand up to large buyers and provide consumers with a wide variety of European #fruit and #vegetables, the rules must be simpler, national support more consistent, and membership more attractive.”

    — Keit Pentus-Rosimannus, Member of the European Court of Auditors

  17. @thetnholler.bsky.social It sure took a *long time* to see the #ScalesFall from the eyes of #MAGA #farmers and #ranchers.

    People who have chosen #ForksOverKnives and #ElectricCars over internal combustion ‘carriages’ don’t really care about #BeefPrices or #GasPrices. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  18. 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."

  19. 🤑🥩 Surprise! Beef prices are skyrocketing, but #farmers still can’t afford a decent #tractor 🚜💨. Apparently, the only ones beefing up their wallets are the #middlemen and marketers—moooo-ving profits right past the actual producers. 🐄💸

  20. I can’t say I wasn’t aware of the greenwashing that’s going on on the back of the fuel tax credit (FTC) scheme, but it doesn’t hurt keeping up to date with the rorts purpetrated by our mining and extracting industry giants. This tax-payer funded rort, just keeps getting better and better despite the revelations in independent media. Not that our #Labor govt is inclined to stamp it out apparently. Seems like we can do both, meet our paultry emission targets AND pay big poluters to, well… polute some more. How inane is that. This is govt taking the rest of us for #numpties. This BS can’t be allowed to go on. We need #AlboPM to end the FTC schemes at least for big business if he’s not gutsy enough to cut the #Farmers out as well.

    “The analysis by Naru Research found the top 18 FTC scheme recipients, mostly multinational iron ore mining and coal companies, collectively received $3.3 billion in credits but only faced an estimated $150 million in compliance costs under the Safeguard Mechanism.

    “Australia’s biggest industrial greenhouse gas emitters are being paid to pollute,” stated researcher Tim Baxter.”
