What if cows didn't exist? Prompted three years ago by a #SuperBowl ad, I tasked two exceptional colleagues, Brandon Whitworth and Michelle Michael, with exploring the profound concept of a #WorldWithoutCows. They exceeded expectations, tirelessly seeking truth from those on the frontlines of agriculture and science. Brandon and Michelle delved into data and engaged in discussions with researchers, academics, ranchers, producers and others, as they relentlessly pursued answers to the pivotal question: What if there were no cows? Contrary to the simplistic narrative presented in that Super Bowl ad, our findings unveiled a nuanced reality. When it comes to cows, it's not black and white. Our upcoming, feature-length documentary, meticulously crafted by our talented team members, will shed light on the true impact of cattle on the planet, challenging preconceptions and fostering a deeper understanding. However, we aren't alone in this endeavor. Getting agriculture's story right requires collective energy across the entire agri-food value chain and beyond. I invite you to explore our World Without Cows website, engage with your friends and family, and help transform this endeavor into more than just a movie — let's make it a movement. Stay tuned here and follow World Without Cows on social media for more details.

Applied research has always been a focus for Thoughtful Viticulture. Providing tangible data on approachable techniques to improve viticulture and wine quality that support sustainability is why our slogan is "sustainable science-based solutions".   It’s been a whirlwind past month or so, as we’ve been gathering our thoughts together, doing background research, designing experiments, and scoping out potential collaborators and vineyards for some research projects we’d like to undertake on behalf of the NZ wine industry. We’ve put in EOIs for multiple research projects aimed at helping growers with “alternative” management strategies that improve quality and sustainability, while also managing input costs.     The next few blog posts will explore some of the topics that have inspired our projects. As a recovering academic, I’m no longer driven by being the first to publish, so can be a little more open about research ideas in the hopes of inspiring others and gathering cooperators. I want us all to do better growing grapes, regardless of where we are. #thoughtfulviticulture #undervinecovercrops #herbicidereduction #herbicideelimination #dontundermineyourundervine https://lnkd.in/gs5mMUYx

War and Wheat by Dennis Voznesenski is a must-read for anyone interested in history, agriculture, or global politics. It serves as a powerful reminder that the resources we often take for granted can shape the course of history in profound ways. Dennis is able to capture the dependencies and interconnectedness of this global world. This book has enlightened me on the importance of food security and with globalisation its been taken for granted . The new wars are defying this food security and taking us back to the history revealed in this book.

In this video, my colleague Tina Mozelewski, PhD does a stellar job explaining the core findings from our recent publication exploring how we can work smarter to conserve the sagebrush biome here in the United States. I highly recommend watching!
