Happy #WorldPulsesDay! 🫘

We've put together a collection of resources for World Pulses Day, but it's worth specifically highlighting this amazing infographic by Tamsin Blaxter (with help from the TABLE team).

Let us know what you think ⬇️

Full resource list in our newsletter: buff.ly/4tsZaP7
A Venn diagram titled "Visions of a food future" including visions for an agroecological/regenerative revolution, a vegan/plant-based shift, sustainable intensification & biodiversity conservation, and self-sufficiency resilience & food security futures. An arrow pointing to where the circles of these visions overlap says "Beans are where the visions overlap!"

Tiny beans. Big power 🫘

What does “sustainable agriculture” actually mean, & why do scientists disagree about it?

The latest Feed Podcast epsiode discusses how "agroecology" & "sustainable intensification" start from different values, ask different questions, and often talk past each other.

Why can reasonable people look at the same evidence on meat—and still arrive at very different conclusions?

That question sits at the heart of a new guest essay published in @tanglenews.bsky.social, written by TABLE’s Matthew Kessler.

Read the essay here: www.tabledebates.org/essay/what-w...
A quote by Matthew Kessler, host of TABLE's Podcast Feed, in Tangle News on 1 Feb 2026: "“Food is deeply personal, and meat — because it involves the deliberate killing of an animal — is especially charged. Arguments against it can feel less like policy proposals and more like judgments on one’s values or way of life.”

"Is grass-fed beef better for the climate?" asked The New York Times earlier this week.

TABLE's director Tara Garnett weighed in: "The bulk of food-related emissions comes from a relatively small number of people eating quite a lot of meat . . ."
