"What if “resilience” is about more than what happens on the ground? What if it’s about more than irrigation efficiency, crop diversification, or tons of carbon stored?" Thoughts on reframing resilience from our #PNW director @AhCandib https://t.co/f81zApFTSZ

Housing policy is food policy! Thank you Dani Madrone and @Farmland for your wise words.

"The future of our local food systems depends on better use of the land. It’s time to break the gridlock and move forward on middle housing."

We can't talk about soil without talking about the people who care for it. "Soil health is mental health . . . Poor soil health, poor grass. Poor grass, poor cows. Poor cows, poor people. Poor people, poor mental health." https://t.co/kvU3YdBrFv
