  2. #Virginia - #ClimateChange and Its Effect on #Gardening – 2025

    By Elaine Mills, Extension Master Gardener, January 22, 2025

    Climate-Conscious Gardening

    "To quote David W. Wolfe, Professor of Plant & Soil Ecology at #CornellUniversity,
    'We are in the unfortunate situation of being the first generation of gardeners, ever, who cannot rely on historical weather records to tell us what our climate is, or what to expect in the future.'

    "Join Master Gardeners in the Arlington/Alexandria unit of Virginia #CooperativeExtension in a series of monthly articles updated from their original posting in 2021 as we explore the topic of climate change and practical actions individuals can take in their home landscapes in response. This month, we’ll present an overview."

  5. #Agroecology as the path to #ClimateResilient and just food systems

    By Dr Susan Chomba, Director Food, Land and Water at World Resources Institute Africa

    Monday, July 28, 2025 — updated on August 02, 2025

    "The 2nd National Agroecology Symposium, held in Nairobi from July 10–11, 2025, marked a pivotal moment in #Kenya’s food systems transformation.

    "The event brought together farmers, researchers, civil society, private sector actors, media, and policymakers with one clear message: Agroecology must move from the margins to the centre of national agricultural strategy. It is not just an alternative; it is the most viable path forward to achieve our intertwined goals for #people, #nature, and #climate—without compromising one for the other.
    Agroecology offers a coherent framework for #RegeneratingSoils, producing safe and nutritious food, and building #ClimateResilient and #equitable #FoodSystems.

    "As #ClimateChange intensifies, this approach provides Kenya and other #AfricanNations a powerful opportunity to lead a just transition—rooted in #LocalKnowledge, backed by #science, and responsive to the realities of #smallholder #farmers.

    A crossroads for Kenya’s food systems

    "Kenya’s food systems are at a crossroads. The dominant model—based on chemical-intensive agriculture and ultra-processed foods—is driving soil degradation, poor nutrition, increased prevalence of non-communicable diseases, and the pollution of our rivers and lakes. This model also contributes significantly to #biodiversity loss and #GreenhouseGasEmissions.

    "Alternatively, a more resilient and #sustainable path is within reach—one that aligns human health with ecological integrity. But this transition cannot be left to smallholder farmers alone. It requires coordinated leadership from governments—particularly ministries of agriculture, health, environment, and finance—as well as development partners, scientists, and the private sector.

    "Farmers should not be expected to feed a growing population and withstand escalating #ClimateShocks while being under-supported or misdirected by ineffective policies and subsidies. Without the right investments and incentives, we risk deepening the crisis.

    What agroecology is—and isn’t

    "Agroecology is too often misunderstood as a nostalgic return to low-productivity farming. In reality, it is a sophisticated, evidence-informed, and farmer-driven approach to transforming food systems in ways that are locally appropriate and ecologically sound. It is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but a dynamic practice that integrates scientific research with #TraditionalKnowledge.

    "The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) outlines 10 elements of agroecology, while the High-Level Panel of Experts (HLPE) has identified 13 principles. These include #RecyclingNutrients, enhancing biodiversity, strengthening synergies, and co-creating knowledge."

  6. Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 103: Food Art & Material Practice

    What can we learn about #foodsystems from making #art and getting our hands on the #materiality of food? Oh so very much!

    rss.com/podcasts/digesting-foo

    Writer, artist, and psychotherapist Susan Goldberg discusses her artwork, poem, and reflection piece, “Milk and Bread” (Vol. 12 No. 1 of Canadian Food Studies), and recent master’s graduate Caylie Warkentin weighs in with a perspective on material practice more generally. We touch on the Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group (horg.com), which documents and categorizes bread bag ties—in all seriousness AND silliness. And, as Alexia Moyer shares, there are some fascinating parallels between #gender and #cutlery to be explored. Sink your tines into that!
