Nice to have my sister plug a new report I co-authored with Fred Davies, "Connecting Farm, City, and Technology: Transforming Urban Food Ecosystems." #farmreport. Read the full report here https://t.co/HeGZ6wwEJE. How tech can help build urban food ecosystems
Exciting new report shows how smartphones, blockchain, solar and wind power and other smart tech can turn cities into net farm/food producers, growing food inside city limits. (Full disclosure, written by my brother @BanningGarrett ). https://t.co/vqQao7MRyj

"Tech can sustainably feed developing world cities in the future - here's how" - new article by Fred Davies and me on Singularity Hub. World of 'peak globalization' needs move to more production of food, energy, & products where they are consumed. https://t.co/p2MmozE83r
The 1st study linking CO2 & rising climate temperature was, “Circumstances affecting the heat of the sun’s rays” — presented Aug 23, 1856 at the annual mtg of the @aaas . A man read the paper, but it was work by New York female Suffragette, Eunice Foote.

Fall of the American Empire: Krugman on how Trump is undermining the values and institutions, domestic and international, that made America great. https://t.co/l6QDrgwYLY?
Freeland is right - it is SAD when it requires a Canadian to tell our Congress what every member should be saying themselves while pointing to undermining of our alliances by the Commander-in-Chief. https://t.co/9tHIPg4rlR
The far wiser path – and the more enduring one – is to strengthen our existing alliance of liberal democracies. To hold the door open to new friends. To reform and renew the system we have built together.
Will Trump dump G-7 & multilateralism for a new trilateral G-3 triumvirate with Russia & China? Democratic allies as enemies & autocratic adversaries as friends? Trump is undermining global cooperation at time world faces common growing challenges & risks.
These experiments for producing food in space will help move forward urban agriculture with huge reduction in use of land, water and energy - and food resilience in the face of climate change impact on agriculture. https://t.co/9ykq1RRESH
