New from me: The Colorado River is drying up & the Western US' water crisis is fueling bitter disputes among the states that share it. Yet the obvious solution to the crisis (raising fewer cows in the desert) gets almost no air time. A glaring case of agricultural exceptionalism.

"The policy tools exist to minimize the harms and maximize the benefits of a system that provides food, much of it healthy, in abundance. But first we need to stop demonizing industrial food, and instead think about how to make it better." Gabe & I for @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/02/08/o...

Last week, I watched the popular regenerative ag film Kiss the Ground, and the new follow-up documentary Common Ground. The films' claims -- esp. around climate -- are even more hyperbolic than I knew: www.vox.com/future-perfe...

The false climate solution that just won’t die

A star-studded film explains the hope and hype behind regenerative agriculture.

I've read a slew of articles on how we got to this MAHA moment, and what they all seem to miss is how entrenched the nature-tech divide is and why it's a false dichotomy. This essay by @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social and @garrettbroad.bsky.social really explains it well: newrepublic.com/article/1933...

The Flawed Ideology That Unites Grass-Fed Beef Fans and Anti-Vaxxers

From RFK Jr. to Hollywood A-listers and Democratic senators, people across the political spectrum are jumping onto the slippery slope of nature-based solutionism.

Was on @news.sky.com this morning discussing 5 years since that first lockdown. This is what I said about lockdown being a terrible choice, but that the alternative was also terrible. And it wasn't just about deaths either. 1/3

Manufacturing feed for global aquaculture has a far greater impact on #MarineLife and land use than we’ve been led to believe. In my first scientific paper, we reassess these impacts: 🌏🧵 w/ Jennifer Jacquet, Patricia Majluf, & @matthewhayek.bsky.social open access: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

More efficient uptake by plants could reduce mineral fertiliser use, but most nitrogen pollution is from manure produced by animals raised for food. Meaningful reduction of pollution and its onward negative biodiversity impacts requires a massive (if not complete) reduction in livestock farming.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order.

The Land Use Framework consultation government is launching is necessary and important. We urgently need to make strategic national decisions about what should go where: to restore ecosystems, stop urban flooding and better plan development.
