How much environmental pressure can the global food system apply before the Earth stops being stable enough to sustain us?

"Collapse today won’t come from ignorance — the signs are everywhere — but from refusing to act on what we already know."

Harvest walls in Dutch playgrounds aren’t just cute urban design — they’re a reminder that food doesn’t have to be hidden in supply chains or pushed to the edge of cities. When kids can snack straight from the wall, you’re teaching sovereignty early. #AgTech #CEA #FoodSecurity

Canada sits on 20% of the world’s freshwater, yet we still treat water like an afterthought. In agriculture we already see how fragile security becomes when supply chains stretch thin. Water will be no different. Efficiency is sovereignty. Good thought piece by @lenispooner.bsky.social

Hard not to notice how foreign opportunism meets local opportunism in moments like this. One calls it strategy, the other calls it patriotism. Feels like Canada ends up carrying the cost either way. Eh, @charlieangus104.bsky.social @meidascanada.ca #WeAreAllTeamCanada

An algorithm just found that a huge slice of the AI boom was built on circular money flows — companies funding each other and calling it revenue. Growth without customers. A very… generous interpretation of success. #nvidia

People write some funny sh*t and this is a bute. "She’s a pathologically lying, old-man-f*cking, fascist-fondling ventriloquist dummy with a Bible in one hand and a flamethrower in the other." Is it almost over south of the border? 🙏

"Can I get a round of MRIs for the table please?" 😂 @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

"Be righteous. Be moral. Be better than him; not just in rhetoric, but in conduct."

From the days when kings and captains of industry operated above the rules, history shows that power often shields abuse. The Epstein scandal isn’t an exception—it’s the modern face of an old pattern we’ve been reluctant to confront. @thomhartmann.bsky.social

But why would former Canadian generals oppose strengthing Canadian independence and capabilities? I don't see that side if the argument? Anyone?

Mature capitalism creates a strange tension in ag: any new idea must outperform the old system on the old system’s terms. Match the price, match the workflow, disturb nothing. It’s a quiet way of ensuring the future never quite arrives. AgFunder got me thinking... #AgTech #ClimateResilience

Funny sh*t I heard... And the prize for Most Improved Beauty Contestant goes to… 👀 It'd be hilarious if anybody actually knew what I'm talking about. Any guesses? Happy to drop bread crumbs in a thread if anyone is interested in playing along.

Climate volatility is disrupting the very plants our medicines rely on. Controlled environments offer a path from fragile supply chains to local, high-purity medicinal production. Our latest piece explores this shift: #Agritech #Biotech #ControlledEnvironment #MedicinalPlants #PhytoPharma

$66M for an ag/food-tech park is headline news. But what I watch most: who builds the skills, who defines the metrics, and who sustains the ecosystem once the ribbon is cut. That’s where CEA and resilience meet reality. @ceaalys.bsky.social @agricology.bsky.social #AgTech #CEA #FoodSecurity

Everyone celebrates ‘models for indoor ag,’ but the real question is: what mechanisms actually move the field forward? Long-term R&D, water-efficient design, and transparent performance data—not regional hype—determine what scales. #AgTech #CEA #WaterScarcity #ClimateResilience

Ag tech isn’t bottlenecked by innovation—it’s bottlenecked by adoption. California’s new $15M, 9-hub network is a reminder that tools aren’t enough. Farmers need proof, training, and trust. If we’re not solving for deployment, we’re not solving the problem. #agtech

“His very existence was improbable, inexplicable, and altogether bewildering. He was an insoluble problem. It was inconceivable how he had existed, how he had succeeded in getting so far, how he had managed to remain - why he did not instantly disappear.” ― Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness

BREAKING: Hungary explodes with MASSIVE protests against Russian-backed Orban government. Peter Magyar is demolishing Orban in the polls and if there’s a free election, Putin loses his puppet. Protesters flooding streets openly defying Orban and Putin demanding an end to authoritarianism.

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

BREAKING In a surprising trend, MAGA supporters by the thousands are demolishing the East sides of their houses.

One of the reasons I love retro-SF futures is because they speak to this increasing trend of turning shit off and disconnecting devices. When AWS goes down and bricks your bed, fridge, and thermostat, the appeal of analog is keenly felt. www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/th...

Good one. "I did not have 'Demolished the East Wing' on my bingo card. Man, remember when Obama wore a tan suit?"

Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities…

This is kind of nuts

Seeing a crack of light. Canada’s pivot from U.S. reliance, a promise to double non-U.S. exports and right the ship. We’re not out of the woods yet — but maybe, just maybe, we’re moving toward something better. 💪🤞 www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Carney’s plan feels like tough medicine—cuts, change, and hope. Maybe, just maybe, this is the reset Canada’s been needing. 💪🇨🇦🤞

Ecorobotix just pulled a $150M round to scale AI-powered “plant-by-plant” spraying. Precision is scaling, #notjusthype #PrecisionAg #AgTechEvolution

Italy’s Maia Ventures is putting real capital behind agtech again — launching a €55M fund with focus on health, efficiency & resilience. Not hype: impact + domain depth. #AgTech #ImpactInvesting

Agtech is finally maturing. The hype has burned off, leaving room for grounded innovation — not moonshots, but meaningful systems. Real impact lies where biology meets engineering, not spreadsheets. #AgTech #Innovation #ClimateResilience

The “second curve” idea lands: the next act isn’t about slowing down, it’s about reinvention. And maybe, it’s time we stop treating experience like an expiry date. @theoldgreythinker.bsky.social

For @climateconnections.bsky.social today, with the help of @bobkopp.net & @andrewdessler.com's team of 85 climate scientists and the National Academies, I fact checked the EPA/DOE's claim that carbon pollution is good for food production. Spoiler alert: it's not. Article and 🧵 (1/9):

CO₂ fertilization is real—but misleading without context. In controlled settings, plants may grow faster under higher CO₂, but heat, drought & nutrient limits often erase those gains. The "You-Know-Who" claim uses a partial truth as full truth. #ClimateScience #AgTech #CEA

Wheat under artificial light — a symbol of adaptation. 🌾 At @intravision.ca research like this helps regions facing drought and heat grow staple crops in controlled environments. From the desert to the Arctic, food security begins with photosynthesis made predictable. #FoodSecurity #MENA

From food to pharmacy. 🍓 Plants carry more than flavour — they hold chemistry tied to human health. In controlled environments, we study how light, spectrum, and stress shape that potential. Healing, one photon at a time. #Intravision #MedicinalPlants #Photobiology #PlantScience #FutureOfMedicine

“Solar is now officially the cheapest power source in the world.” Europe proves what technologists have claimed for years: the sun isn’t optional. In agtech, that means our energy ceiling just got a lot higher. #Solar #AgTech #EnergyTransition

Wyoming steps into the CEA future—launching its Controlled-Environment Agriculture Network is more than state pride, it’s systems thinking at work. If land is tough, grow inside. Opportunity lives in the margins. #AgTech #CEA #Adaptation #FoodFuture

Hospitals growing food on site? That’s not future fantasy—that’s resilience. Emergency nutrition, zero transport, fresh herbs for patients. We talk systems, but this is a literal lifeline. #AgTech #VerticalFarming #HealthFood #Resilience

Greenhouses have long lived in silos—horticulture here, ag there. This article nails it: it’s time to unify. When we merge biotech, vertical systems, soil, hydroponics—that’s when real food resilience scales. #Greenhouse #AgTech #UniteForFood
