  1. My top pruned Thai chili pepper plant is now bushier than the others not top pruned & it has almost same amount of flowers. Currently there are 19 peppers developing on it. My other Thai chili peppers plants are also loaded with flowers & each one has over 20 peppers on them. I'll do a harvest weigh in comparison, when they're all picked 🙂✌️💚

  2. Beet & rutabaga seeds have been sowed. I'm sowing next bunch of seeds every 1.5 weeks until end of September 👩‍🌾💚
    Sowing my Winter turnips & daikon, next week.
    The beet seeds are from Borden Mercantile. The rutabaga seeds, that look like poppy seeds, are from my friend's garden - she is unsure what variety it is.

  3. A still shot of my gorgeous beetroot seeds 😍
    I love seed photos. I love seeds. I love photography. Great, when both lifelong passions are combined.

    My amazing #beetroot #seeds.
    Tapped & saved from excellent mother plants. Watch/listen to video about the mother plants that I harvested these strong seeds from ✌️💚👩‍🌾

  4. Winter carrots seeds were sowed. This is two of 8 pots that I sowed with more mini rainbow carrots & some finger carrots. I should be able to harvest these carrots in November/December. I will have round & finger carrots sowed outdoors in pots in October & November, moved indoors over Winter & those should be ready for harvest in January/February 🥕

  5. Indigenous Knowledge Contributes to Healthier, More Resilient Food Systems

    📰 A new global review shows that traditional food knowledge isn’t just cultural heritage, it’s a climate‑health policy asset.

    🌾 Researchers found that when governments and health systems center Indigenous worldviews (unfortunately rare), food literacy improves, communities stay healthier, and food systems become more resilient in the face of climate change.

    🌍 Revitalizing traditional food practices can help address hunger, biodiversity loss, and climate‑driven health risks, while empowering communities to lead solutions.

  7. #Earth4All #Argentina: Young people confront today’s challenges through debate

    At a time when social and environmental crises are deepening, this initiative shows that young people are not just aware of the challenges—they are ready to lead the transformation. The real challenge is to listen to them and make room for their voices in the creation of truly transformative public policies.

    5 June 2025

    "On 9 May, young people between the ages of 18 and 30 gathered simultaneously in #Córdoba, #BuenosAires, and #Tucumán to take part in the workshop 'Understanding the present to build the future we want,' part of the Earth4All Argentina National Engagement Strategy led by the #ClubOfRome – Argentinian Chapter.

    "Organised in collaboration with #FundaciónAlimentaris and #JóvenesPorElClima, the workshop was part of the participatory process of the National Participation Program (NEP), an initiative aimed at gathering diagnostics, experiences, and proposals from local communities to influence public policy. Its goal is to collectively adapt the international Earth4All model to local realities. The model warns of the urgent need to move away from the current path, described as '#TooLittleTooLate,' and to move toward a '#GiantLeap' centred on #social and #EnvironmentalJustice. This transformative agenda is structured around five turnarounds: #EradicatingPoverty, #ReducingInequality, #EmpoweringWomen, transforming #FoodSystems, and driving the energy transition.

    "The workshop brought together university students from the host cities, #grassroots and #EnvironmentalActivists, and civically engaged youth eager to influence #LocalPolicies and practices. Facilitated by Jóvenes por el Clima, the event was organized around two main dynamics: first, introducing the foundations and challenges of the Earth4All model; and second, mapping specific local issues and working in thematic groups aligned with the model’s five pillars, with the aim of #CoCreating concrete proposals grounded in the experiences and voices of #YoungPeople."

  8. Here is another brilliant Japanese example: how you can better integrate #LocalFarmers into the #FoodSystem with very short and flexible supply chains by also optimising the amount of fresh produce in the shops.

    Two key problems are tackled:
    - the amount of #FreshProduce delivered to the stores
    - #price optimisation

  9. Millions go hungry as a billion meals binned every day, says #UN
    "Households r #responsible for most of the world’s #foodwaste – ~60% of the 1bn tonnes of food thrown away annually. But #commercial #foodsystems r also a substantial contributor: food services acc'ed for 28% of #waste & #retail for abt 12% in 2022"
    BUT the report warned: ' #Data for the retail & #foodservice sectors remains #insufficient.. These #unknown #quantities could be #substantial'
