  1. 🌱 A quiet dream still needs a voice.

    This is the future we’re building at YECI Farm in Uganda: conservation, sustainable farming, trees, food security and a place for young people to learn. 🌳

    We reopened fundraising with €2,500 still needed to secure the land. So far, it’s been quiet. ❤️‍🩹

    If you can’t donate, please share. Even €5, €10 or one repost could help us reach someone who can.

    🙏🏾 Help us give this project a future: gofund.me/e9243328d

  2. The best way of predicting the future is by creating it. And to make things reality it does not require someone from heaven to brainstorm you but yourself you a game changer and change maker.

    #Today as Green Earth Mission Uganda 🇺🇬🌿,we decided to protect the #environment while turning the waste into value additions because some people just throw sacks but here we look the opportunity for it as shown below 👇#nature #gardening #climatecrisis #mastodon #foodsecurity #socialmedia #technology #meme

  3. How nutrition is reshaping rural health care

    For decades, India’s nutrition debate has centred on food availability, with one fundamental question: Is there enough food…

  8. The Watermelon Is Innocent

    The knife goes through a seedless watermelon the way an argument goes through a lazy afternoon: no resistance, no interruptions, nothing to spit. Somebody at the picnic table always ruins it. This summer the ruin arrives as a warning passed hand to hand across the internet: every seedless bite is a serving of your own impending death, because a fruit without seeds is a future without planting, and a future without planting is a population that eats only what it is sold. Subscribe to eat, the warning goes, or starve on schedule. The charge deserves a trial. Half of it is theater. The other half is the most important story in agriculture, and the theater keeps pointing at the wrong defendant. […]

  14. Pacific farmers are reviving traditional knowledge to tackle a changing climate

    Drawing on long-held knowledge, research is helping farmers better adapt to climate challenges like #drought, weed pressure and declining #SoilHealth

    By Associate Professor Dorin Gupta, Dr Viliamu Iese and Dr Sineka Munidasa, University of Melbourne, Dr Leslie Ubaub, University of South Pacific and Associate Professor Soane Patolo, #MORDITongaTrust

    Published 14 August 2026

    Excerpt: " #Taro (Colocasia esculenta) is central to #Samoan diets and #CulturalIdentity and is also an important export crop. It is a carbohydrate-rich staple, consumed both fresh and in processed products like flour, chips, noodles and baby food.

    "Current techniques that use chemical #WeedKillers to grow taro are costly and negatively affect soil health and the surrounding environment.

    "Now, farmers are trialling alternative weed control methods like #mulching and #SheepGrazing, and then comparing these techniques with traditional #HandWeeding in taro cropping.

    "The integration of sheep grazing in particular is a new practice in traditional Samoan taro farming, offering an innovative approach to #WeedManagement.

    "The project has also trialled leguminous #AlleyCropping, another relatively new practice in the region, where fast-growing leguminous trees like #Gliricidia, #Sesbania and #Erythrina are planted to generate biological mulch for #WeedSuppression and #SoilEnrichment.

    "Mr Sala Sagato, the President of the #SamoaFarmers Association, is hosting one of the sites and has championed mulching."

  15. In #Guatemala, #Indigenous women build #ClimateResilience with old and new farming methods

    #AncestralKnowledge combined with #climatesmart techniques is boosting #FoodSecurity and increasing family incomes in the #LakeAtitlán region

    Adam Wentworth, July 2, 2026

    Excerpt: "The impacts of #ClimateChange on Indigenous communities can often lead to further #environmental damage as farmers are forced to rely on unsustainable practices, such as cutting down trees to clear more land. This can accelerate water scarcity, soil erosion and ultimately food insecurity.

    "An ongoing adaptation project led by Natün has sought to reverse these impacts, working with local people to combine modern climate-smart agriculture and ancestral knowledge. The approach involves the use of #DroughtResistant crops, organic pest management and #SoilConservation techniques. This is increasingly recognised as an effective way to strengthen climate resilience.

    " 'Our approach is based on soil analysis and the use of locally resilient, endemic tree species, significantly increasing survival rates and ensuring sustainable water availability despite changing rainfall patterns,' Wason explained."

  16. 10 Easy Ways to Preserve Your Garden #Harvest (#Freezing, #Pickling, and More)

    Written By: Catherine Boeckmann, last updated August 7, 2026

    "What do you do with the bounty from your garden? Freeze it, pickle it, dry it, store it! If you’re new to preserving food, here are 10 quick and easy ideas—from freezing mint in ice cubes to making a small-batch pesto recipe using just a handful of basil leaves!"

    Includes recipes for:

    Excerpt: "Store Long-Lasting Crops

    Little or no special equipment is required to put these goods away until you want them:

    #Apples: Apples keep well for about 6 months at temperatures above freezing but below 45°F. If you don’t have a root cellar, a double cardboard box in a cool basement can approximate the conditions.

    #Carrots: After harvesting, remove the green tops and brush off any excess dirt. Put the carrots into a cardboard box and pack dry sand around them. Store the box in a cool basement.

    #Onions and #Garlic: Hang mature, dry-skin onion bulbs in a mesh bag in a cool, dry, airy location. Braided onions and garlic can also be hung.

    #RootVegetables: If covered with a thick layer of mulch (hay, dried leaves, straw), carrots, garlic, horseradish, leeks, parsley, parsnips, radishes, and turnips can be left in the ground well into the winter and harvested into the spring."

  18. #Gardens that Nurture #Culture

    Spring 2022

    Excerpt: "Growing one’s own food became more appealing and, in some cases, a greater necessity to many in this pandemic era. #NativePeoples have long tended gardens that have provided their communities with #sustainably grown foods, #MedicinalPlants and #NaturalMaterials. Today these much-needed sources of local, healthy foods are also places to cultivate and preserve #CulturalTraditions.

    " 'Even some Native cultures—like #foraging cultures—that didn’t historically garden now see it as a helpful use of land and time and money because they can efficiently produce the kinds of foods that people need to stay healthy,' said Elizabeth Hoover. Of #Mohawk and #Mikmaq descent, she is an associate professor of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at the University of California in Berkeley. Researching this trend, she drove 20,000 miles in 2014 to talk with dozens of #AmericanIndian gardeners and food advocates.

    "In western North Carolina, David Anderson works as the horticultural operations supervisor at the #JessieOwleDugan #NativePlant and Greenhouse Facility of the Eastern Band of #Cherokee Indians. The complex includes three #greenhouses, 30 raised growing beds, a 3-acre nursery and 5 acres of fields dedicated to producing crops specifically for their seeds. It also has 330 acres of field that can be leased to enrolled tribal members who wish to garden or farm.

    "While the facility does generate funds for the tribe, it also preserves culturally important species to get them into the hands of tribal members to plant. It focuses on growing traditional plants, such as #grapes, #elderberry, #WildStrawberries, #blackberries, #huckleberries sochan and #cohosh. In 2021, the greenhouse also grew #hickory saplings, which once mature, can to provide wood that can be used to make stickball sticks, artworks and other traditional projects. 'We serve our community with plants for home, for farmers, and for restoration,' said Anderson."
