This week's issue is about a very timely cross-border investigation that illustrated the shortfalls of the current system in protecting a crucial asset of European agriculture: farm workers.

Thank you so much, @drtanyamsmith.bsky.social !
Thank you @silvialazzaris.bsky.social for the stunning documentary Farming, Redefined.

So much hope for the future in Ernst Götsch’s #Syntropic experiment in Brazil. Incredibly poignant to see how #RegenerativeAgriculture can even change rainfall patterns!
