@natureislite Fascinating, isn’t it!?

Elite food consumers won’t make sustainable ag the norm. Here’s what will. https://t.co/iS6BXSwDVO

Large grocery stores are gear4d to deal with 1 or 2 large suppliers per product, which means supplying local food is difficult. Huge opportunity to provide a platform which allows large grocery stores to meet consumer demand for local food.

@SquarespaceHelp Hello, we're switching platforms, and we'd like to do some kind of bulk export of our site. Is there a way to do this?

[NGEN Partners @ngenpartners]

This is a big deal. It's a harbinger of whats to come for our food system, but more broadly, the achievements of Hawaiian organizers shows how progress can be made in our time. Despite our modern hyper-connectedness, all politics is still local politics

Pictures here really demonstrate how #DIRTT can handle challenging design, fabrication and installation constraints better than traditional competitors

Amazing #DIRTT installation by our Partner @synergybe in #Tennessee. On-site in 4 weeks from the day of order and constructed in just 6 days! Complete with integrated power and #technology. Tight parameters as you can see - but no problem for #DIRTT! #Custom #DIRTTforCommercial

Again, demonstrates the way outbreaks are handled in our food system. Takes weeks, not hours.

This is not to cast blame. the agencies used DNA testing to identify the source of the produce, & handled this situation well. The takeaway: It's impossible to handle outbreaks in a timely and accurate way without intentionally building transparency into our supply chains first

The UK frozen veg recall demonstrates the challenges of food safety & traceability. reactions by govn't agencies, as well as the companies involved happened in weeks and months, not days and hours, despite 2 dead in the UK & many more infections

Some reports say the plant had Listeria present at low levels for years. Outgoing shipments from the plant have been stopped since march, but long shelf life of frozen veggies, as well as the 70-day incubation period of listeriosis create a long lag between cause and effect

Love the technology of @SkyCoolSystems. demonstrates that what it means to "use energy", from fossil fuels to electricity to food calories, is to exploit the energy difference across a system

@Brightfarms "...appears to be the closes venture-backed CEA company to being a national brand." Well said, @agfundernews! https://t.co/qBkTG9pHTR

This is definitely an issue. We're hoping for a virtuous cycle in which demand for connected ag will create demand for internet service, and internet service will create demand for connected ag services and products https://t.co/0JSKEESIOT

Really interesting way of looking at meat consumption: because producing beef is 4% as efficient as plants, eating a cheeseburger is as wasteful as buying 100 ears of corn and throwing away 96 of them. I thought I was beyond getting my mind blown by this kind of thing. https://t.co/K1s7NwMubG

[Civil Eats @CivilEats]

What if we treated meat consumption like food waste? https://t.co/TSysb6yPNm

[NGEN Partners @ngenpartners]

Great to see more high profile interest in indoor farming. It's also important to remember we're trying to change the food system because it needs to be more sustainable, but also because it has the potential to create better tasting, better quality food!

Check out this amazing @DIRTT installation - featuring Timber.

Loving the custom, repeating Y-shape pattern that brings privacy to the workstations. Topped off with a timber ceiling. #buildbetter

Silvopasture, a technique to add carbon capture to livestock grazing, as well as pasture production per hectare. Not the whole solution for a sustainable food chain, but part of it. https://t.co/S2RfMo9LrY
