Our latest @fernnews on a little-known but explosive issue for lab-grown #meat. You haven't read this before, trust me. Great story by @joefassler in a FERN collaboration with @BW. https://t.co/HrEtIO42rI

Ah to make an editor's heart go pitter patter....

[Leah Douglas @leahjdouglas]

Three cheers for @fromartz, a wonderful editor, mentor, and leader who taught me so much about journalism and co-created one of the best outlets for food and environment news. Onward!

[Sam Fromartz @fromartz]

We’ll soon be launching a search for a new editor-in-chief -- job posting coming soon -- and I’ll remain through that entire transition. I’ll also still sit on the FERN board and contribute as needed.

[Sam Fromartz @fromartz]

Changes ahead for me and @FERNnews -- it's been a great run but you gotta know when to pass the torch. https://t.co/IbMLCbnRPR

[Sam Fromartz @fromartz]

Those values will remain part of FERN’s culture and be the renewable energy that keeps the operation humming. Co-founder and partner Tom Laskawy will stay on as executive director.

[The Food & Environment Reporting Network @FERNnews]

We asked our Washington editor, staff writers, and Midwest climate reporting fellow what they'll be keeping an eye on in the coming year, writes @fromartz in the latest Back Forty.

Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell.

Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

NEW: EPA's recent proposal to blend more biofuels, like ethanol, into the U.S. fuel supply will increase greenhouse gas emissions by 81 million to 265.9 million metric tons over three years, agency data shows.

Our latest piece @fernnews questions the orthodoxy of sequestering carbon through farming, because the latest science on this doesn't look good. If you follow #farming and #climate change, read this piece by @GabrielPopkin https://t.co/vSC5gpDKe7

Ha, no reax, Twitter algorithm must have buried this.
