Well it sounds like Climavores needs to make a comeback so that @tamarhaspel.bsky.social can moderate a discussion between you two.
I'm not gonna stop "banging my spoon on my highchair" as you'd say about a Climavores comeback :P

This take isn't wrong, but one complication I'd add is that Kernza may not always be functioning as a 1 for 1 wheat replacement - for e.g. it could be an alfalfa replacement in corn/soy rotations - in that scenario you're adding a 3rd human edible crop where there wasn't one previously
Perennial Kernza Works in Corn, Soybean Rotations
Nicole Tautges of the Michael Fields Agriculture Institute discusses the benefits of Kernza, a cool-season perennial crop that can be managed for both winter grazing and a grain crop the following sum...

Can you be more specific about which programs you think need ditched

What would federal promotion of in home food waste tech look like for you? Tax credits or something?

I liked masters of the air better than the Pacific. Band of Brothers is probably still better just because it's so classic

yeah I agree that this won't be transformative - if it was the food problem would be a lot easier to solve.

What kind of advances in indoor animal management might be possible if electrical power is a negligible cost concern? These are just some of the things I think could be interesting.

Do the continued positive curves on batteries and electricity, make a lot more farm equipment able to be electrified?

www.greenlightning.ag I can't wait brother, but there might be other things on the margins that get a lot easier. Does this new on-farm fertilizer production technology get a lot more viable?

What if you can make Nitrogen on your own farm to save costs, grow more, prevent algae blooms, reduce shipping and pollution, and make more profit?
With Green Lightnings technology, you can.

I think you're right that it wouldn't be a panacea. It would be helpful for vertical farming and cultivated meat but there are other factors with those two that could still hold them back.

And, while I'm at it, the same is true for any generative institution, guild, or practice. If you want to produce new knowledge, build something, or cooperate in service of mutual goals in any way, you will come into conflict with reactionaries. Reactionary politics are a death cult.

One question that I've been mulling is: how could radical electricity abundance impact agriculture? Do you have thoughts?

@thomnorman.bsky.social @mikegrunwald.bsky.social Curious if either of you have a take on Joe Fassler's reporting on the technical viability of cultivated meat here: thecounter.org/lab-grown-cu...
Lab-grown meat is supposed to be inevitable. The science tells a different story.
Headlines have overshadowed inconvenient truths about biology and cost. Now, new research suggests the industry may be on a crash course with reality.

and in doing this research, accounting for the land use, land use change, and carbon opportunity cost pieces often seem the most complex and nebulous. Just a lot of assumptions happening when trying to build that into the equation.

bc in the federal policy work I do, I want our advocacy to be aimed at achieving animal ag economies that BOTH don't harm the climate or surrounding communities AND can produce food affordable to working people - and imho both the con-ag and small farming dogmas don't get you there...

Thought I'd give some context to my questions - I've been doing a deep dive into various animal ag production systems, from conventional to regenerative - their comparative emissions/externalities, the options to mitigating them, and how those options would impact affordability...

Thanks this is helpful - I was thinking of risk of transmission of avian flu from wild sources particularly and it sounds like maybe the main counter advantage of outdoor model is the distribution of smaller flocks even if the contraction risk is higher?

Which gets real complicated quickly because those formulas often don't account for things like idle farmland and gay rotting in fields when comparing two chicken production models. How do you think about the land use intensity piece when comparing models?
