@GreenHejira @JohnMuirProject @earthisland @earthislandjrnl @LFFriedman @hlovins @sarahehunt01 @blambrecht @LauraBieger2 @LaurenGifford @elizabarclay Its rare to find a trenchant environmental analysis in the NYT. Hats off to @GreenHejira

In their paper, @eholtgim @akshattuck and Iljia Van Lammeren argue that, while agroecology can offer a pathway to climate resilience, this cannot be understood in isolation from the socially unsustainable conditions of many smallholders, especially women

You might not realize it, but your diet is influenced by more than hunger pangs and nutritional needs. When it comes to learning how to eat more responsibly, knowledge really is power. We recommend these 4 books by @mereleighfood @isachandra @hgarth @eholtgim #food #foodbooks 📚

We thank @eholtgim, Marit Rosol, Lauren Kepkiewicz, Amanda Wilson, @CharlesLevkoe, and @pedrovr11 whose attentive reading of and critical engagement with our work have allowed us to clarify and add nuance to our argument.

Q&A with Eric Holt-Giménez on A Foodie’s Guide to Capitalism - Food First https://t.co/k7Dlw7gp9V Looking forward to the @sli_eile_ discussion with @foodture_irl Thurs 9th July 8pm #foodsovereignty

[Eric Holt-Gimenez @eholtgim]

The food sovereignty movement needs Food First to not only continue with their important mission, but we also need the Board to live up to it in words and actions. I also ask fellow supporters to email the Board at [email protected] with the same request.

[Eric Holt-Gimenez @eholtgim]

Rosalinda Guillen left Food First. Her resignation letter says it all:
Date: Thu, Jul 2, 2020
Subject: FW: Food First Board members must comply with term limits
To All Food First Board of Directors,
I write this message to you all after just having read your latest update.

[Eric Holt-Gimenez @eholtgim]

This is unacceptable, in solidarity with others, I also call upon all over-term board members to immediately and respectfully step down. To make room for new younger leadership.
