@peters_malcolm I can’t buy relatively cheap & safe eggs in Woolworths anymore because some Woolworths executive think I shouldn’t! The current egg shortage is due to corporate decision to walk away from the caged egg industry that has undergone massive upgrades/improvement! Now that is woke!

“The messaging against GMOs is truly shameful. How many people must die of malnutrition before we consider this a crime against humanity? We need more science in politics and less politics in science.”

@hasselljpb @WAFarmers Gov are good at closing down rural business. They seem to think the public sector can run the economy. They did the same with Timber industry around the Pilliga, flooding the zone with bullshit Tourism will fill in gap.

One of the biggest myths about "Organic" food is that it’s more nutritious than conventional food.

Here’s the truth: it’s not.

Let’s break down the science behind this common misconception 🧵: 1/11

[Andrew McGuire @agronomistag]

Cropped fields aren’t degraded nature—they’re designed to feed us, which requires trade-offs. Using natural ecosystems as a benchmark for soil health or regenerative ag is misleading. My latest shows why: https://t.co/PMTAfdHTVo

Feathertop Rhodes grass in Victoria.
The data about where it's spreading from & to isn't current.
Vic Gvt agencies are not reporting it. Weedscan has v. few records.
@VicGovAg gave it a "currently non-invasive" rank.
Councils & Dept Transport won't be looking for it.

Did you know that the way food is farmed can impact the product’s nutrients? 🍇
