The proposed Riverview Dairy would be the largest in the state.

@fern.org joined @iatp.bsky.social and 30+ CSOs to urge @ec.europa.eu not to shy away from addressing methane from industrially farmed animals in its #LivestockStrategy to be unveiled next week. There's no time for accounting tricks that downplay the role of industrial livestock in global warming.

Ahead of the EU Fertiliser Action Plan, we joined NGOs & farmer groups to call for a shift away from fossil-based synthetic inputs. Dependency on volatile gas & fertiliser markets is not resilience. Organic & agroecological systems show another path 🌱 eeb.org/en/library/o...

🚀Just launched: THE NEW GEOPOLITICS OF FOOD💥 Food prices & hunger are rising. Crisis after crisis exposes how fragile our global food systems have become. But governments have tools to stabilise markets & reduce vulnerability. We call it resilient self-reliance. 📘 ipes-food.org/report/the-n...

The House will vote Thursday on its Farm Bill. You'll hear some describe it as a bipartisan bill that is needed now more than ever. In reality, it's a status quo bill that doesn't address the challenges most farmers face. Congress should start over and write a bill that meets the moment.

Fascinating new analysis from @jeffdiamond12.bsky.social for @iatp.bsky.social showing the staggering increase in crop insurance subsidies for what used to be relatively small parts of the program. Another bad thing accomplished by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. www.iatp.org/costs-increa...

Here is my new article. Programs promoting sustainability are being cut while we see huge crop insurance subsidy increases, paid by taxpayers directly to insurers.

Monsanto wants us to believe that their pesticides—and the health and environmental harms that come with them—are necessary for modern farming. 15 farmer and farmworker advocacy groups joined our amicus brief to say that's not true. They want accountability. Learn more ➡️ buff.ly/5AztXuo
