By Cecilia Nowell, 7 June 2023 .../... “Well-designed, inclusive, local food initiatives can have a positive impact,” said Enthoven. But she cautions that consumers can fall into a “local trap”, a term coined in a 2007 article by researchers at the University of Washington, if they “believe that the whole system should switch to local only, which is not per se more sustainable or inclusive”. Although many local farms tout themselves as ethical alternatives to industrial agriculture, there’s no rule saying they have to be organic or worker-friendly. In fact, many small farms are exempt from paying the federal minimum wage and US Occupational Safety and Health Administration safety oversight and investigations. Local farms can be important alternatives, especially when there are disruptions in supply chains, as occurred at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. But “we need a diversity of scale in our production system across product types,” said Hamm, especially as we look at ways to feed 8 billion people in the era of climate crisis. See theguardian.com Biotech teff and safflower get the green light from USDA See agdaily.com Mexico – Let’s Stop the Uncertainty and Embrace Technology, by Georgina Gutierrez, April 27, 2023 My dairy cows don’t have an off button. They need a daily supply of food as part of a special diet that fuels them with excellent nutrition for health and productivity. Corn is one of their best sources of energy—and here in Mexico, we buy significant amounts of it from growers in the United States because my country doesn’t have the capacity to produce all the corn farmers and other industries need. That’s why my government’s pending ban on imports of genetically modified corn is so destructive: It will hurt Mexican farmers and consumers as well as damage our relationship with our biggest and most important trading partner. Mexico must reverse its present course and embrace the technology and trade that helps all Mexicans thrive. The United States is a powerhouse of corn production. North of the Rio Grande, farmers grow huge amounts of it, relying on an ideal climate, rich soil, and the best 21st-century technologies. They harvest far more corn than Americans need, exporting about a third of it to foreign buyers. That’s how high-quality and affordable corn becomes available to me, south of the border, where we in fact cannot grow enough corn to meet our needs. Last year, Mexico’s total corn production fell 38 percent short of domestic demand. .../... See globalfarmernetwork.org Une riboteuse de Guéméné (lait ribot : lait fermenté)
So God made a farm mom — a daughter’s tribute, by Michelle Bufkin Horton Published: May 10, 2018 .../... Farm moms can teach us a lot about life and ourselves, if we will just listen. Trust: Trust in Mother Nature, God, the land, the markets, but most importantly trust in our family. Trust that no matter what, someone will be there when we need it. Whether that’s help with planting, with kids, or after tragedy, farm moms will be there with a plan and a casserole. They teach us resilience. Farming is not all playing with livestock or riding in a tractor. It is hard work and stressful. Farming is not for the faint of heart. No one knows that better than the farm mom. But yet, she chooses to face each day with joy and hope. Monday is just another day to get things accomplished, not to dread. There is no reason to give up, because it is possible. It might be more work than anticipated, but as my mom always said, “A little hard work never killed anyone.” But more than anything, farm moms teach us about love. A mother’s love is unconditional. I know because I have tested it (flashback to when I made my mom wear a cow suit). A farm mom doesn’t limit her love to just her children, but to their friends, to the land, to the livestock and to the livelihood. Farm moms work hard because they want better for their children. And what better life to live, than to grow up being raised by one of them. To all the mothers and especially the farm moms, for these lessons, and so many countless others, I say thank you.

When Apple announced its new Vision Pro headset at a recent conference, guests audibly groaned at the $3,499 price tag Apple Vision Pro Is Half the Price of the Apple II, by Gale Pooley, June 7, 2023 It took almost 181 hours of work to buy an Apple II in 1977. The Vision Pro only takes 91. That is a big number, but how does it compare to the prices of Apple's earliest groundbreaking products? In 1977, the Apple II computer required 181 hours of blue-collar work to purchase. In 1984, the Macintosh took 212 hours. At today's compensation level, the Vision Pro takes just 91.

Mother pardoned thanks to new science An innovative science advisory panel has been instrumental in securing the release of Kathleen Folbigg, who spent 20 years in jail in Australia for killing her four infant children. New genetic evidence came to light in 2018, indicating that there was a reasonable possibility that the children had rare genetic mutations that could have caused their sudden deaths. A new inquiry was opened, with the Australian Academy of Science acting as a scientific adviser. It recommended scientific expert witnesses, and they spent time explaining the cutting-edge science to both the defence and prosecution. “Science was heard in this case,” says protein scientist Michael Toft Overgaard, who was an expert witness at the inquiry. See nature.com JWST spots most distant ‘smoke’ molecules The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has spied a ‘smoke ring’ of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a faraway galaxy. The compounds, which are also found in soot and smoke, form near young, massive stars. Because the galaxy is so distant that it appears as it did when the Universe was just 10% of its current age, it must have been busy creating stars during that time. “It must have basically formed on overdrive,” says astronomer and co-author Justin Spilker.

Viewpoint: Hollywood anti-milk campaign takes a header into delusion, by Amanda Zaluckyj, The Farmer’s Daughter, April 21, 2023 Did you know that 9 out of 10 serial killers grew up drinking milk? Yes, Switch4Good knows that’s a ridiculous statement. But it has plastered that message all over the greater Hollywood area on billboards and light posts. The plant-based activist organization wants people to believe that “Big Milk” has worked hard to sell us the lie that milk is good for us. And that lie is deadly, because it kills humans, the environment, truth, cows, and food justice. …/… - Milk isn’t killing humans - Milk isn’t killing the environment - Milk isn’t killing the truth - Milk isn’t killing cows - Milk isn’t killing food justice …/… So let’s recap. Nine out of 10 IRS agents drink milk. Nine out of 10 fraudsters drink milk. Nine out of 10 spam callers drink milk. And I’m willing to be nine out of 10 criminals drink milk. Despite that, milk is still a fresh, healthy, and nutritious part of our diets. See agdaily.com High probability of recession

USA life expectancy What’s behind ‘shocking’ U.S. life expectancy decline—and what to do about it U.S. life expectancy has declined to 76.4 years, the shortest it’s been in nearly two decades, according to December data from the CDC. Two experts from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health—Dean Michelle Williams and Ariadne Labs’ Asaf Bitton—discussed the problem on WP Live, a podcast from the Washington Post. “The numbers are shocking,” said Williams on the April 10 podcast. She noted that younger people in America are dying at high rates than their counterparts in other high-income countries, and that that the U.S. also has among the highest maternal and infant mortality rates among upper-income countries. Both Williams and Bitton said that much of the problem stems from the way the U.S. health care system is structured. .../... Williams pointed out that improving population health in the U.S. is not just the morally right thing to do but could also boost the nation’s economic and social stability. Bitton agreed. “Investing in people’s health shouldn’t be contingent until the moment that they drop in front of us and we take them to the emergency department,” he said. “It should be something that we start to do upstream because it’s smart for them, it’s the right thing to do for the economy and for the country, and it’s the right thing to do for our families and our neighbors.” We know what to ear to increase our life expectancy... but don't act on it (DigitalFoodLab, University of Bergen) Expected increase in LE for optimizing different food groups with diet changes initiating from various ages between 20 and 80 years of age.

Yet for all their apparent sentience, chatbots are not intelligent — and they must be used with caution. Researchers who have become adept with the tool offer advice for scientists on how to avoid the pitfalls.

LGBTQ Glossary by Johns Hopkins University See Johns Hopkins University web site Oil Spills Oil spills are disasters that can have severe social, economic, and environmental impacts. They are the release of crude oil or refined petroleum products from tankers, rigs, wells, and offshore platforms. These spills are most common in marine environments, but can also occur on land. They can have disastrous consequences for local ecosystems, and be expensive due to the loss of oil and the costs involved in their clean-up. The number of oil spills and the quantity of oil that is spilled from tankers — container ships transporting oil — has fallen substantially in recent decades. On our new page, you can find all our data, visualizations, and writing related to oil spills from tankers, for which consistent, high-quality global data is available. But not all oil spills come from tankers. They can also come from other sites, such as offshore oil rigs and damaged pipelines. The world’s largest (and most well-known) event was Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. This disaster was caused by an explosion in a drilling rig. The US Government estimates that 4.9 million barrels of oil were released (equivalent to around 700,000 tonnes). Tracking non-tanker oil spills is essential, but we are unaware of any global, updated databases that include this. Filling this gap would be critical to global environmental data and monitoring. Crop Yields Improvements in crop yields have been essential to feeding a growing population while also reducing the environmental impact of food production. Increasing crop yields can reduce the amount of land we use for agriculture. Crop yields might seem far from being one of the world’s largest problems. But, if yields and labor productivity do not increase, it will have far-reaching consequences for global poverty and the protection of the environment. For people and the planet, it’s one of our most important problems to work on. On our new page, you can find all our data, visualizations, and writing related to crop yields. Increasing agricultural productivity across Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the most important problems this century To grow food you need two things: some land and some of your time. Land and labor are two of agriculture’s primary inputs. To build a food system that works for people and the planet, humanity needs to achieve high productivity in both of them. But across much of Sub-Saharan Africa, the productivity of both input factors is low. In this article, we explain why agricultural productivity across the region needs to improve to reduce hunger, poverty, and the destruction of biodiversity — and why this makes it one of the world’s most pressing problems.

A man is flying in a hot-air balloon and realizes he is lost… He reduces height and spots a man below. He lowers the balloon farther and shouts, "Excuse me! Can you tell me where I am?" The man below says: "Yes, you're in a hot-air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field." "You must be an engineer," says the balloonist. "I am," replies the man. "How did you know?" "Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but it's no use to anyone." The man below says, "You must be in management." "I am," replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well," says the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were before we met, but now it's my fault."
