The shutdown of SNAP benefits shows the fragility of our industrial food system. It ALSO shows us the strength of community. The resource sharing, mutual aid, and collective care we’ve seen in the last week are glimpses into the food future we are capable of building together! 🤝 🤝

Ever had masa? If you like tamales, tortillas, or pupusas, the answer is likely yes 🙂‍↕️ This traditional corn dough is packed with bioavailable nutrients thanks to a process called nixtamalization, and it’s the base for most of the Mesoamerican dishes we know and love. 🫔 🌽

After a long trade tribunal with the US, #Mexico enshrined a ban on #GMO corn cultivation in its constitution earlier this year. As the birthplace of corn, this move runs deeper than policy: it's a defense of culture and identity. #SinMaízNoHayPaíz 🌽🇲🇽 grocerynerd.substack.com/p/grocery-up...

Have you heard of "super weeds"? The introduction of GMO crops has dramatically increased the use of herbicides like glyphosate (aka Roundup) in the US. Today, more than 60 million acres (!!) of US farmland are infested with herbicide-resistant super weeds that evolved in response.

The #EPA proposed to reregister the controversial herbicide #dicamba just weeks (!!!!) after a former soybean lobbyist was appointed to a top pesticide role at the EPA's Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution prevention. Just sayin. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Courts banned this herbicide twice. The EPA wants to bring it back.
The EPA announced Wednesday its plan to re-register dicamba, a herbicide widely used on soybean and cotton farms that has been banned twice by federal courts.

Today, we reflect on #DrKing's legacy and his reminder that at the heart of all #progress is a remembering of our fundamental connection to each other and to #nature. Only when we re-remember our responsibility to one another and to all life on #Earth can we become the humans that the #future needs.
pinkish-red background with white text, "what we are facing today is the fact that through our scientific and technological genius we've made of this world a neighborhood. And now through our moral and ethical commitment we must make of it a brotherhood. We must all learn to live together as brothers - or we will all perish together as fools. This is the great issue facing us today. No individual can live alone; no nation can live alone. We are tied together." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr from his 1965 Commencement Address for Oberlin College
