As a board member who negotiated with the city for almost three years to get this agreement set up, it has been a huge set back to see our funding cut from this year’s budget. The Guelph Tool Library provides programs to deliver on the city’s solid waste master plan. #Guelph

Academia is applying for a job, imagining the rest of your life in that job, then being immediately rejected from that job

[Dr Marissa Edwards @DrMarissaKate]

Another day, another conversation with someone planning to leave academia because of workload, job insecurity, abuse from students, ongoing burnout, and low pay.

Academia keeps losing wonderful people as they realise it’s not worth sacrificing their health.

We interviewed farmers, ag-tech entrepreneurs, academics, government officials, and industry representatives to put together this report on how to build a sustainable Canadian ag-tech sector.

[Arrell Food Institute @ArrellFoodInst]

For ag-tech to contribute meaningfully to sustainable agriculture, good ideas and technologies must commercialize and scale.

Who has power within the food system is a critical matter for public policy. Canada has a duty to use the power of government to build a more just and robust food system. #CdnAg

Insects hold the possibility of being a more sustainable source of feed for livestock as they are less land intensive - I discuss this on the @cbc @UofRegina

Grocery store workers are essential workers. My research during the pandemic showed they were struggling then and current conditions indicate they are struggling now. We need to do better.
