Can we just make “will you shut up, man?” the new Biden slogan?

Team of @sesync supported scientists calls on @planttreaty to recognize, legitimize, and materially support not just agricultural biodiversity but the social, agricultural, and ecological processes that continually produce and renew diversity, long term. drive.google.com/open?id=1H1GBX…

At @IPESfood, @cadwego just used data from this pic to argue that conventional agriculture is vastly inefficient if you measure what humans eat rather than tons produced. Data via @enviroem @globalecoguy fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/files/201…

Thanks, @EricLiptonNYT for continuing to cover what industrial agriculture likely wishes you wouldn't. "Court Orders E.P.A. to Ban Chlorpyrifos, Pesticide Tied to Children’s Health Problems" nyti.ms/2MkQV4W

Bloomberg on collapse of #GMO Bt cotton in #India bit.ly/2uGM8Rn Why do economists publish dozens of studies on initial yield increases and pesticide reductions but none when the seeds crash a few years later.

@SCsupport any plans to support all the new (as of iOS 11, a year ago) itunes tags in podcast rss feeds? Or to allow hyperlinks in show notes? I've been hosting a podcast with soundcloud pro unlimited for 2 years but these may force me to switch

@antidogmatist @FAOKnowledge Bring on the discussion on power! Yes, corporate power is a huge threat. But let's affirm that civil society, peasants, small farmers are not powerless. We have power -- in our diversity, knowledge, innovation. Everyday we're wielding that power and changing the food system.

A good question at the #agroecologysymposium: “what do you mean that we need to increase food production, while there is already enough food produced in the world today, and much of what is sold in the name of increasing production actually kills biodiversity and resilience?”

Dennis Garrity of @ICRAF at @UNFAO #agroecologysymposium: even though agriculture is central to climate change, biodiversity, and development, #agroecology is missing from conversations in the international treaties. Agroecology needs to make noise.

Clara Nicholls at @UNFAO #agroecology: farmers are using agrobiodiversity to design agroecosystems capable of ‘failing gracefully’, so that one one component fails, other components continue producing food and other services

A recurring theme in this @UNFAO conference room lined with portraits of council presidents, all of them men: grassroots movements are working on gender equality and recognize feminism at the heart of #agroecology. We academics, policy makers, funders must follow their lead.
