  1. 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.

  2. #Farmers do more than put #seeds in the ground and wait. Each part of the #crop cycle needs different care. There are new hurdles along the way, but there are also chances to improve results.

  7. Soil degradation - the stuff of life that is called 'dirt'
    "Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth."

    * The Ig Nobel Prizes: "Franz Bender, Marcel van der Heijden, Atlant Bieri, and Pia Viviani, for burying 1,000 identical pairs of underpants in more than 25 countries and then digging them up after two months."
    "The results: Land use was the most important factor. Underpants decomposed the fastest in private gardens, where soil analysis also revealed the highest levels of organic matter. Lawns showed the least activity of soil organisms, with agricultural fields and meadows ranging in the middle. Temperature and moisture levels also affected organism activity, particularly if conditions were too cold or too dry, as did soil nutrient levels. Overall, the authors found that their “underpants index” provided equally meaningful information about soil conditions as the TBI, including chemical and physical properties, elevation, and moisture." >>
    arstechnica.com/science/2026/0

    * "Soil is a vital resource for plant growth. It hosts a major part of global species diversity and is key for ecosystem functioning and it forms the basis of human civilization. Yet soils are rapidly degrading, threatening food production, biodiversity, and Earth system functioning. This threat is largely unrecognized in broader society, hindering effective steps towards soil protection."

    "Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil-related issues is limited."

    "Farmers, responsible for the management of vast areas of land, often receive little education in basic soil principles. The lack of relationship between the public and soil leads to wasteful treatment of global soil resources. Increased awareness and targeted action towards the protection of soils are urgently needed." >>

  12. Today, US farm bankruptcies are at a six-year high, according to data from Epiq AACER, a bankruptcy reporting platform.

    Bird flu was ravaging poultry flocks, spreading through dairy herds and driving up egg prices. The flesh-eating screwworm livestock parasite, which had been eradicated from the US decades ago, was creeping north through Mexico. And the agency charged with managing those threats was bracing for budget and staffing upheaval as DOGE cuts began thinning its ranks of tens of thousands of employees.

    The winning. So much winning.

"Using publicly available #data from 2006-2023, the #study... found there to be an estimated 402-433m cases of unintentional acute #pesticide #poisoning of #farmers & #farm #workers every year. Based on a worldwide farming population of 934 million, this means approximately 46% of farmers are being #poisoned every year. The greatest estimated number of #oisonings was in southern #Asia, followed by south-east Asia & east #Africa."

  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.”

  22. #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"

  24. Doing a little course planning or looking for reading list additions? Revisit the Canadian Food Studies book reviews for some inspiration!

    Start with Taarini Chopra’s review of Growing Resistance: Canadian Farmers and the Politics of Genetically Modified Wheat by Emily Eaton.
    doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v1i1

    Then pair it with Annabel Soutar’s theatre play, Seeds, which brings genetically modified crops into the realm of documentary theatre.
