.@bradlander as my representative, help save #composting in #NYC! It diverts 157 tons of organic material every day from #landfills, which are a primary contributor to #GHG. #EarthDay #savenyccompost

@kenjilopezalt is what the world needs right now and everyone needs to read this piece about food #expirationdates

Folks who think GMOs are dangerous out here at Farmers’ markets with no masks or social distancing.

.@GoodFoodInst is creating #awards that go beyond what the food looks and tastes like. It explores aspects like how the workers are treated and where the ingredients are sourced.
@MichelinGuideNY @theworlds50best are you paying attention? #NYUFA19

But food banks out of business! (Kinda) Hopefully, one-day food banks won't be necessary, but in the meantime, @FastCompany talked to @whyhunger about how food banks are working towards #preventing hunger and #foodinsecurity. #NYUFA19

@Willala531 I think the first question is should #farm policy do that, or another policy? It seems like the #farmbill has become much more than just farm policy, so its goals need to be realigned. Maybe it shouldn't be called the #farmbill anymore? #NYUFA19

[Kara @KaraFoodstudies]

Excited to see this type of #quickfix! Subsidized @lyft rides help residents access healthy food now, while the city government works to incentive grocery stores into #fooddesert neighborhoods for the future. #NYUFA19

How many companies in the last few weeks have announced #plantbase meats? At least be honest about why you are doing it @Nestle – because your competitors are. #NYUFA19

[The Good Food Institute @GoodFoodInst]

"There is no way to avoid catastrophic climate change without action by the food industry." Nestlé's new #plantbased bacon cheeseburger represents a shift in the right direction. via @nytimes:

@ellysonbeyer This makes me so sad! Not only for #health reasons but meals are so important for building relationships between friends and family! When we sit down to eat together, we learn about each other. #NYUFA19

[Kara @KaraFoodstudies]

Companies like @misfitfoods_ and @ForagerProject are turning food waste into #CPG products. It's a great way to use waste, but are we just adding #new products to an oversaturated market? Are these products a #healthy #snack alternative? Some questions I still have. #NYUFA19

[FoodPrint @foodprintorg]

Fruit & veggie juices generate just under $500 million in sales worldwide each year. That's a lot of pulp. SF's @ForagerProject decided to turn that waste into a new product, drying out the juicing byproduct into tortilla chips. https://t.co/VNh0DeMdSU

I started this tweet with other intentions, but.... @BBCNews It would be really helpful if you linked to the actual study! Searching the @American_Heart's website, I haven't been able to find it, only the press release. Help make information #accessible. #NYUFA19 #AHA19

@Willala531 So complicated! I've visited a few ADs and find them fascinating - they reduce smell and can power homes. They ~seem~ great and in a #regenerative system, can be an interesting addition to closing the loop. But for #CAFOs I feel like it's just another "solution." #NYUFA19

[Kara @KaraFoodstudies]

@CarlyMaltzman Totally with you on that! If corporations started sourcing responsibly and ethically, our entire food system would change.

[Kara @KaraFoodstudies]

Alert! New #foodemojis are here. @hooleil beautifully makes the point that like food itself, food emojis can represent so much more than the literal meaning. What foods need to be emoji'd next? 🍇🍓🍕🧁 #NYUFA19

.@realDonaldTrump typical #McDonald's order is over 2,400 calories of processed meat, carbs, sodium and sugar. Healthy food is vital to healthy brains, so why is it acceptable for one of the most powerful people to fuel themselves terribly? #NYUFA19

[Kara @KaraFoodstudies]

@CarlyMaltzman However the means, more options are a good thing! It will push companies to innovate and give consumers more access to different price points. Consumers are telling corporations what they want, and the corporations are listening. Now we have to ask for better #sourcing. #NYUFA19
