Today is #GlobalFertilizerDay, but here’s the truth: Chemical fertilizers poison our food system, deplete our soil, pollute water & air, while tying global food prices to fossil fuel markets. A few corporations profit. The rest of us pay the price. ipes-food.org/report/fuel-...

Synthetic fertilizers poison our food system, deplete our soil, and put food prices in the hands of a few corporations. Fertilizers poison our bodies, water, and air. They are linked to cancer, birth defects, and respiratory illness. Read more: bit.ly/4nYirn7 #GlobalFertilizerDay

In July, the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food @michaelfakhri.bsky.social l and I wrote to the #USGovernment on the severe #HumanRights and #Poverty related impacts from decisions to cut foreign development assistance. That letter is now public: spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBas...

"Ignorance about hunger has yet to be proven a path to ending it." The #Trump administration has cancelled annual hunger report after enacting historic cuts to hunger programs. Deleting inconvenient data seems to be a consistent Trump playbook.

The Trump administration has disincentivized solar developments on farms, but agrivoltaics continue anyway with local and state support.

📢Olivier de Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur, calls the export of banned pesticides by EU countries "environmental racism". "I don't see why we should tolerate that products that are too dangerous for us are not too dangerous for populations in developing countries." www.franceinfo.fr/environnemen...

🛒Is a public grocery store a socialist fantasy; or a smart solution to food injustice? That’s the debate unfolding in NYC, where Zohran Mamdani has proposed city-run grocery stores to fight rising food prices & corporate control. @rajpatel.org: "This is a chance to turn discontent into solidarity"

If you just missed the webinar, there's a fantastic trove of data on the Andhra Pradesh Community managed Natural Farming trials in Zambia, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Philippines and India at naturalfarming.global

Trump's federal government has gutted funding and purchase programs for U.S. family farms – decimating farmers & kids receiving nutritious school meals. Meanwhile, it is giving $35 BILLION in handouts every year to big oil, gas, and coal.

What's the opposite of MAHA? Mamadani. Here are some thoughts in the Boston Review on the fight for food as a public good. www.bostonreview.net/articles/mah...

The Andhra Pradesh Community-managed Natural Farming team and the good folk at the Kasisi Agricultural Centre in Zambia have some *very* exciting results from their trials. Can't say much more, but it'll be a gamechanger. events.futureeconomy.forum/natural-farm...
