As #verticalfarming adjusts to current market realities, here’s another proof point from @kroger and @80AcresFarms - following on the heels of news that @WholeFoods plans to triple the number of East Coast stores with @BoweryFarming's salad kits. tinyurl.com/2n3d3nc5
Here’s a helpful summary that might be better titled “The Short List of Incredibly Difficult Climate Actions That Will Work” — but I imagine that would have resulted in fewer clicks. #climatechange #electrification #agriculture tinyurl.com/7fmswvar
Fascinating take on changing perceptions around #farming and #foraging in #Black communities highlighting #Blackfarming in America. Indy Officinalis’ observation juxtaposes clean “sneaker culture” with getting feet “back in the soil.” #blackfarmers tinyurl.com/58ew3dcr
Excellent commentary highlighting factors that hinder young #farmers from entering #agriculture. Challenges around land access, financing, health care, and high production costs are driving young people away from the profession. #equity #blackfarmers tinyurl.com/yvtmc3nv
Diversifying specialty crops in the MS Delta, with a focus on supporting #Blackfarmers provides #supplychainsecurity and more - CA, South TX and FL bear disproportionate effects of #climatechange #bipocfarmers #agriculture #rice #supplychainresilience tinyurl.com/bdz5sh3m
Options for cities to supplement traditional #agriculture, build #foodsupplychain resiliency, and address food deserts. Notes #verticalfarming limitations but recognizes its value, which grows as energy costs fall. #urbanfarming #urbanagriculture tinyurl.com/y766zpp2
Thanks @joelkotkin and Marshall Toplansky of @ChapmanU. #California is a fantastic incubator for #agtech #innovation, with our amazing public universities, tech prowess, and impressive #agricultural output - Silicon Valley meets Salinas Valley. tinyurl.com/4dzzxtcc
Positive news: Small #farmers in Africa plant trees to improve #soilhealth and #cropyields, and to provide fruit, fuelwood, and fodder for their livestock. Increased #biodiversity via #agroforestry and #agriculture help #climatechange @YaleE360 e360.yale.edu/features/afric…
This OpEd from @CivilEats highlights important topics like water issues, particularly in my state of #California, as well as the tension between the justified fight by #nativeamericans for their #heritagepreservation and "progress" for the masses. tinyurl.com/yckyb643
You may recall stories I’ve posted about #waterissues. Too much or too little water is wreaking havoc on #agriculture. It’s a key driver of my passion for #verticalfarming. This story demonstrates the power of water, for better and for worse. @nytimes tinyurl.com/4n5k7d52
Cautionary tale in pictures - scroll through the startling yet beautiful photos of the Dust Bowl; Chicago blanketed by a miles-long dust reminds us how important #soilhealth is - and the remarkable response by government and the #agriculture industry. tinyurl.com/568m62n4
For #Juneteenth, a documentary film from @AlRokerEnt and Emmy Nominated @EternalPolk debuted. Gaining Ground examines why Black ownership of #farmland has dwindled, with a particular focus on a core issue: Heirs’ Property. #agriculture #blackfarmers tinyurl.com/35hkj5md
Exciting #innovation in #agriculture - indoor and outdoor. @Unfold_Ag's focus is #indoorfarming, but the combo of computer vision systems and #machinelearning or #robotic harvesting challenges of fruits/vegetables aren’t growing-environment specific. tinyurl.com/3n8v77km
Black women = 7% of the US population but own less than 1% of all restaurants. Read this thorough and thought-provoking piece of cultural analysis exposing racism and sexism about who gets to be called “chef.” #food #inclusion #blackhistory #blackwomen tinyurl.com/2t9rxwbs
RE: flooding in the central valley from record rainfall earlier this year (including snowpack). Thanks @NPR for this possible solution: work WITH nature by strategically removing levees to create natural floodplains that relieve pressure downstream. tinyurl.com/mr4dua2a
Looking forward to a lively discussion with my colleagues from @IntFreshProduce, @Better_Seed, @RijkZwaan, and Growy!
The Indoor AgTech Innovation Summit is now less than a month away! We’re excited about the panel session Unfold COO @DavidNothmann will be joining with fellow panelists Gretchen Raymond, Ard Van de Kreeke, and @andylASTA — moderated by @EstesVonnie! indooragtechnyc.com/register/
Stunning piece of photojournalism by award-winning Canadian photojournalist @Photobracken, who reports on issues affecting Indigenous peoples in North America. Excellent use case for #verticalfarming addressing threat of #climatechange. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
As more and more #agtech relies on #IoT, we need to ensure that it’s protected from cyber threats. The #Food and #Ag #ISAC is a positive step toward protecting food #supplychain resilency. #cybersecurity #agriculture tinyurl.com/5akhkw9r
The new Food and Agriculture-Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Food and Ag-#ISAC) will enable information-sharing between the #agrifood and security sectors about protecting U.S. agriculture and food from cyber threats. 👉 MORE: fal.cn/3yAZM #cybersecurity

Arizona's farms are running out of water, forcing farmers to confront climate change
Farmers in Arizona are facing the brunt of climate change as the Colorado River experiences shortages. Even in rural and conservative areas, most agree something needs to change.
Behold the power of #genetics in modern #plantbreeding in this excellent piece in @Sciam. Thanks @MeghanBartels, Tom Adams of @Pairwise and Travis Bayer of @sound_ag tinyurl.com/4s75p4xs
