Farmers are the backbone of our food system, but they often go unrecognized for their hard work and dedication. From sunup to sundown, they're out in the fields, cultivating crops and raising livestock to feed us all. Let's take a moment to thank our farmers for all they do!

We have choices, but most available to Americans are bad ones. 60% of the calories in the food supply are in the form of ultra-processed foods, which are the primary cause of diet-related diseases, so many of us can barely make good choices ever. https://t.co/w7bi4OPRwe @guardian

It’s National Inventor Day!

Booker T. Whatley was a horticulturist and agriculture professor at Tuskegee University who first introduced the idea of CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) programs in the 1960s as a solution for struggling Black farmers. #BlackHistoryEVERYMonth

@DanBarber As a farmer (cert organic for 32 years in CT) and part of Real Oranic, I think your tweet needs clarification. No?

Inspired by the way Inuits have eaten frozen fish for millennia, I created this frozen sashimi of invasive lionfish served on rapidly melting ocean water - a metaphor for the plight facing those living in the Arctic due to Climate Change.

Food for thought for #WorldOceansDay

By 2050, there may be more plastic in the ocean than fish.

Coca Cola, Nestlé and PepsiCo are the worst offenders. Hold corporations accountable with your money, and personally use less plastic.

Yesterday’s cedar-smoked invasive carp and cicadas. My cooking pays homage to nature so it makes perfect sense to cook and eat outdoors, surrounded by wildlife.

When Jackie Robinson faced down slurs, spiked cleats, and pitches aimed at his head—and stole home anyway—he didn't only change baseball. He changed the world and paved the way for others, including me. On his birthday, we’re called not only to honor that legacy but build on it.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Hank Aaron was one of the best baseball players we’ve ever seen and one of the strongest people I’ve ever met. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to the Aaron family and everyone who was inspired by this unassuming man and his towering example.

How do you measure the quality of milk? Milk quality, beyond the Grade A markings, is distinguished by taste and performance. Ask yourself... https://t.co/Bjce75UX4E
