Today, a federal judge issued an order reinstating our USDA grant, finding that the grant cancelation was both "arbitrary and capricious."
We are thrilled that the courts have recognized this grant termination as unjust, and hope that this ruling encourages other groups to pursue similar action.

Cutting emissions by at least 90% by 2040 is essential for future prosperity and resilience, according to @esabcc.bsky.social scientists.
A transition to #agroecology – focused on a shift away from industrial livestock & synthetic inputs – can play a pivotal role in achieving the EU climate goals.
