  3. ☕️ Larger, established producers are often easier for roasters to buy from because the infrastructure, logistics and relationships are already in place.
    ☕️ Around 12.5 million #farms produce #coffee globally, roasters can work directly with only a fraction.
    ☕️ For many roasters, sourcing comes down to balancing quality, price and accessibility – not simply finding the best #coffee available.

  6. "We force animals to adapt to the constraints of farming modelled on the mass production of manufactured goods, whereas farming should respect the ethological needs of animals.

This requires new foundations for ethics and politics."

TechSpot: Farmer trusted AI after it gave good advice, then it helped wipe out 25 acres of his crops. “Most readers of this site know not to blindly trust AI on important matters, even if it got things right before.

  9. Santa Barbara Independent: ‘Kids Are Actually Eating the Food’: State Expands Lunch Program That Pairs Schools with Farms. “In school lunchrooms around Lake Tahoe, students line up for a red, hairy fruit called a rambutan.
