Helping food systems sustainably meet nutrition needs. CAMO = Climate Adaptation & Mitigation Opportunities

On this #MemorialDay2026, we thank those brave Americans who gave their lives to protect our freedom, but let us not continue to forget and ignore the deep, unhealed wounds here in #STL, from the #May2025 tornado and from all the decades of older neglect. https://t.co/N6WOETRtI2

Will you be in #STL on June 13? Please join us for the 10th annual #Race4Reconciliation, along the symbolic #DelmarDivide. Meet others who share your passion for #Unity. Many thanks to @OneFamilySTL and all our other sponsors. Learn more and register at https://t.co/AznWHWnvxR

On this #EarthDay2026, the planet is telling us that we may be on the verge of another #Midwest #Drought. I hope I'm wrong, but it’s been record #Hot and #Dry. It’s time to invest in practices that build #Climate #Resilience, like #CoverCrops and #NoTill. https://t.co/xCPYXmhVTl

[Dave Gustafson @FoodSystem_CAMO]

Pretty scary/spooky that the heat record just broken was from March 2012, which preceded a devastating #Hot #Drought here in the #Midwest. It kind of has that 'same feel' to me this year. Hope I'm wrong. It's the last thing #US #Farmers need right now. https://t.co/qRr9Eq2Ryz

There is a growing consensus in the #ClimateScience community that the rate of #GlobalWarming is accelerating. Now is the time for all players in #Ag and #Food #ValueChains to pursue greater #Resilience and prepare for what is coming at them. Details at https://t.co/ZBL7jYGN3y

First application of a new #CroppingSystem #Resilience #Metric. 30-yr I-States dataset, based on info from @usda_nass and @CTIC_tweet (@RegrowAg). Results suggest that all early resilience gains have been lost and are currently trending down. Details at https://t.co/FOYkyAICbl

The bogus claim that #CornSweat is making the #Midwest more uncomfortable is in the news again. The opposite is true! And replacing productive corn fields with #SolarFarms or #DataCenters would make the #HeatIndex even more insufferable. Details at https://t.co/CPRqZuBjBY

#STL North City is in urgent need of restoration and renewal, especially after the May 16 EF3 tornado. Read how #UrbanAg could help bring the needed transformation, just as it has in #Detroit and elsewhere https://t.co/y8LevWJAAo

[Dave Gustafson @FoodSystem_CAMO]

The #MAHA report on children’s health ignores #FoodSystem complexity and mistakenly focuses on #CropProtectionTools, which help the US lead the world in the production of safe, affordable food. Innovative thinking is urgently needed, not biased AI queries https://t.co/u3iVnH51uT
