Our food supply chain is facing critical pressures due to climate change. WWF is working to help build sustainable and equitable agricultural in the Mississippi Delta that supports underserved farmers, boosts communities, and brings healthy food to the region and beyond.

There’s more than one global competition underway. We’re shattering climate records at an alarming pace, and we need leaders to act now in the race again climate change. https://t.co/k9kvdYZiLe

I'm so thrilled to share my Phase II report of The Next California - and the launch of the first official pilot, Foodwise. It is so thrilling to see this project moving forward and none of it would be possible without the terrific Advisory Council.

[WWF Sustainability Works @WWFBetterBiz]

We rely on California to grow the vast majority of the country's fruits and vegetables--which is increasingly unsustainable.
WWF has a proactive solution: shifting some of our food crops to the Mississippi Delta.
Local Delta farmers are testing the idea.

It's almost four weeks since the horrific terrorist attack on #Israel. A lot has happened, the public debate has become heated and confused. Find thoughts from Vice-Chancellor Robert #Habeck in the video, putting the events in context. 📣With English, Hebrew and Arabic subtitles.

Roughly 1/3 of crops grown in the U.S. never make it off the farm – wasting food, energy, water, & land. That's why @WWFInstitute is working w/ @USPS to help farmers ship food directly to consumers. Learn more in this week’s episode of Nature Breaking: https://t.co/yoK4KJV1Xc

Check out the update on my Next California project!

[WWF Sustainability Works @WWFBetterBiz]

In the face of extreme weather, we must proactively and thoughtfully shift production of US specialty crops to avoid land conversion and build a more equitable and sustainable food system.
The @WWFInstitute is working to turn this theory into action. https://t.co/pElaNJvXPg

[WWF Sustainability Works @WWFBetterBiz]

The problems with our food system are all connected, and there isn't one magical solution.
WWF's @jdkurnik explains why it's time to throw the kitchen sink at food:

On the latest episode of Green Sense Radio, WWF's Julia Kurnik discusses the potential to shift specialty crop production to the mid-Mississippi Delta region. https://t.co/mpsiefLdg5

I'm thrilled to share my Phase II report in indoor ag! Check out some of the ways vertical farms can integrate into communities to lower their footprint while boosting gains to all.

[WWF News @WWFnews]

The St. Louis region is positioned to become the global center for innovation in indoor soilless agriculture thanks to a cooperative effort from dozens of experts over the past two years.

@AmericanAir @AmericanAir I'd like to see you accept your 4 and 6 year old being separated with a "oh well nothing I can do" when you arbitrarily changed our seats! But apparently are powerless to change them back.

[Julia Kurnik @jdkurnik]

@AmericanAir thanks for separating my four and six year old from me. We booked seats months in advance, all together, and you just arbitrarily separated us all over the plane. An hour on the phone and in line did nothing. Thanks for making my children cry.

[Julia Kurnik @jdkurnik]

@AmericanAir @AmericanAir considering you changed our seats we had booked months in advance, told us on the phone after an hour there was nothing you could do but gate wouldn't fix it, and then gate did nothing... not good enough. USDOT complaint it is plus as much publicity I can get.

[Julia Kurnik @jdkurnik]

@AmericanAir @AmericanAir the best way would be to have left them alone. We had seats together when we booked. You messed this up. You didn't fix it. So what now? A four year old and six year old.

Check out my interview on NAPS Chat about Farmers Post!

[WWF Sustainability Works @WWFBetterBiz]

The NAPS Chat podcast interviews @jdkurnik about Farmer Post, a program that would connect consumers to local farms to receive fresh produce through the USPS. @napshq Tune in: https://t.co/DGfQ3eTBJB

[World Wildlife Fund @World_Wildlife]

Imagine you could get fresh fruit and vegetables from local farmers delivered along with your mail. We're modeling how the @USPS could bridge the gap between farmers and food shoppers to create a "farmer's post.” Learn more: https://t.co/NIEOiGIPMW.

So proud of my niece, Talia Seshasai! Her SeaPerch team not only went to internationals but won first place in community engagement... working to address algal blooms. I love seeing the future of environmental innovation! https://t.co/VWtY5f3FzY
