Awesome student fun in How we feed the world class: building an industrial farm ecology-economy-society and then repairing the metabolic rift piece by piece - students really excited to design a better world after 2 units of problems

@ashattuck.bsky.social giving a great lecture in the horticulture department at Purdue! To know about the risks of the global pesticide complex we first need to have usable data about who sprays what and where it’s made

If the point of our work is not just to interpret the world in various ways but to change it, then ethnobiology and degrowth scholars are allies in action-oriented, imaginative research. Both ask how to scale up reciprocity and care. This is a way of being, a relationship. It is not a product.

Great intersection of ethnobiology, food security, and food sovereignty from Kaminski and colleagues: communities manage political ecological change by combining long-distance and local food systems ojs.ethnobiology.org/index.php/eb...

Free and open access as always from Ethnobiology Letters

Fabulous ethnobiology research from Tassel et al. on ‘Akkoub (Gundelia spp. and Asteraceae) in Palestine, newly out in Ethnobiology Letters

Amazing colleagues and brilliant friends at the best conference: society of Ethnobiology

Amazing unessays untangling anthropological theory from great students: an 8 bit choose your adventure applied anthropology game, tapestries, food, films, and more!

2) The expansion of these crop-chemical regimes takes place in a context where herbicides, especially glyphosate, are getting cheaper and facing pressure from a large generics market. So, just as hybrid cars are driven over greater distances, people end up spraying individually and collectively

1) Farms are ecological systems too, so initial "efficiencies" in spraying lead to new niches meaning new and different spraying regimes as on Indian Bt cotton farms

Chrome’s irony filter is really top notch this morning

Comer hear Dr. Grenz speak about her amazing work, today! DM me for the zoom link details

Welcome back to Purdue Anthropology - puzzles help us think through social theory, allowing us to play with our guiding frames, assumptions, biases, and methods for solving problems

This delicious book on Bt and Organic cotton in India is now available to anthropologists 10 months and older, open access: uapress.arizona.edu/book/cultiva...
