While technology can certainly hep improve our broken food system, no one thing can be a catch all tool. Fixing the food system can only happen overtime, with effort and close attention to the intricacies of the system. #nyufs19 https://t.co/q8FQdGPa0s

our staple crops are all annuals meaning they must be replanted every year. This necessitates tilling which releases C02 from the soil. We must find Perenial replacements. https://t.co/poFzCQzpRK #NYUFS19

If you want to solve the Issue of food waste look to South Korea a country which until recently was a heavy food waster. Through regulatory as well as economic solutions they have greatly cut back on waste. https://t.co/3KBej4dxRy #nyufs19

The proposed change to food stamps, which requires registration for a program proving the recipient is looking for work, has led to abuses of civil right and no benefits for the receivers in places where this policy is already implemented #NYUFS19 https://t.co/fjlXZYw5dk

In the face climate change we must change our approach to meat consumption. Eating insects is a stainable way of consuming protein, but can consumer tastes make this adaptation?

Whole foods has enacted large discounts for Prime costumers. Are cuts coming out of farmers pockets? How long can Amazon/Whole Foods afford to offer these prices.Amazon/wholehttps://www.recode.net/2019/4/4/18292262/whole-foods-lower-prices-sale-discount-amazon-prime #NYUFS19

While the big buzzword for conscious food consumers is currently "organic" eating local is an often ignored solution. Creating a demand for this type of food is something we should all be doing. https://t.co/sLhJVc48HA #NYUFS19

Most people know the havoc animal agriculture wreaks on our ecosystems. However most people think that individual action is our only course of action. Community based actions such as changes to school menu's is an excellent pathway to change. https://t.co/kfqtROoDKf

Aquaculture still requires wild caught feeder fish which still wreaks havoc on ecosystems. It is important not just to make changes but also to monitor the best way to implement changes to our animal agriculture systems. #NYUFS19 https://t.co/P4cyMsZM8g

Relying to heavily on automation can have adverse affects on our food system. Food safety is not an area where we can make compromises. #nyufs19 https://t.co/lt6LWO27ma

Senator Sander illuminates a crisis that anyone who cares about food policy in the us should know about. Many still facing crisis will now also have there SNAP benefits taken away. #NYUFS19

Without new funding, more than 1 million Puerto Ricans will be impacted by cuts to their food assistance. We must address this crisis immediately and bring Puerto Rico back onto SNAP. @CarmenYulinCruz

Many farm workers face food insecurity. Just more evidence that when we talk about issues surrounding food, the problem is not necessarily hunger but equity and condition based access. https://t.co/WQTTVVC2WN

@esthertrakinski Hi Esther, it seems that the problem is institutional. Many grants that cover college expenses don't include the cost of food, additionally most college students cant qualify for SNAP's as meeting the 20 hour a week work requirement is prohibitive on a college schedule. #NYUFS19

[farmingnatan @farmingnatan]

Half of US college students will face chronic or sporadic food insecurity. Even on campuses where students generally have access to food, issues such as dining hall shutdowns can lead many students to wonder where they will get there next meal. shttps://reut.rs/2QxGAol #NYUFS19

President Trump's trade war with China has crippled American soy farmers, and US agricultural exports. With things once again in flux make sure to keep yourself up to date and educated. https://t.co/9kpTQ8EPh4 #NYUFS19

Check out this great article! As a coherent Botanical category vegetables dont exist! Really cool to see how regulations end up affecting how we think about food! https://t.co/D1wcRmvxPS #NYUFS19

#Urbanagriculture is a promising supplemental resource for improving food insecurity in cities. When so much food is imported from elsewhere yet still fails to reach our low income communities use what you have at hand ! #NYUFS19 https://t.co/zBfPf6vUKi

Researchers found that in the Australian outback indigenous hunters actually had a positive impact on natural food webs. just another reminder that ecology measures which put indigenous communities food security at risk are flawed. https://t.co/Mza38rD9Fa #NYUFS19 #Foodwebs
