@SteveSaretsky What if...the plan is to lower the relative value of homes slowly over time, rather than just crater the market overnight? I'm on board for this policy if it makes home ownership reachable sooner while preserving retirement plans
Excited to share this commentary on cell ag -- a normative take, informed by previous work on research directions for more possible public acceptance: https://t.co/GvT3leK2br
@elonmusk All for curbing waste but let's not narrow our definition of science for politics. Science is empirical, data driven, testable, seeks to disprove, is quantitative or qualitative. Let's not get rid of some science because an administration doesn't like some research questions.
Half done my (VERY ๐) DIY PVC garden tower - hypothetically can grow 40 heads of loose leaf lettuce every 6-8 weeks, if I don't manage to kill everything that is.
New piece out in Ecology and Society - how can/cannot vertical ag contribute to food system resilience? https://t.co/bDKQe4P0RV @DrLenoreNewman - Rob Newell - Stefania Pizzirani - Addis Benyam

Family going through #ow#odsp applications. Combined household income ~$30,000, one asset (car), physically unable to work, application for #ontarioworks denied? Apparently the @ONgov thinks individuals can live off of $15,000 a year. Time for a #BasicIncome
Check out our recent piece in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, where we present a framework to debate and describe novel ag-tech futures. @Feeding9Billion @DrLenoreNewman robnewell https://t.co/XidksWKnkV
BREAKING: Developers in Ontario had direct influence over the provinceโs decision to extract lands from the Greenbelt and received โpreferential treatment."
- Directives came from Doug Ford's office
- Owners of the now 15 parcels of land - value will go up $8.3B
- Of the 7,400 acres extracted, 6,700 โ or 92 per cent โ was removed as a direct result of developer access to the chief of staff.
- 3 weeks to identify 22 parcels of land for sale
