Thinking about how even if we eat “healthy food”, we can’t be 100% sure it has the nutrients we need.

Sending love to Native folks fasting this Thanksgiving. I see you.

Sending love to Native folks fasting this Thanksgiving. I see you.
I know a lot of native people feel that celebrating thanksgiving goes against everything they believe in.
I try to take my power back by treating it like an autumn harvest meal.
I still want to gather with friends and family and celebrate the year we’ve had together.
Can we just rename it?

My research indicates that the more phylogenetically related crops and weeds are, the more intensely they will compete. When crops are established before weeds, this can be used as a method of targeted weed management. #agroecology #phylogenetics

Those looking to give a boost to your garden, consider starting a Bokashi Compost.
This method was developed in Japan to ferment food prior to composting. Using lactobacillus bacteria to predigest waste eliminates odors and reduces composting time.

The financial margins for farmers create added restrictions when considering going without pesticides.
There are many ways in which symbiotic cover cropping and cultivating soil microbial and fungal availability could be a solution.
