In 1910, Black farmers owned 14 percent of all American farmland … and that number fell below two percent as a result of racism, discrimination, and dispossession. This film chronicles Black farmers’ efforts to reclaim their agricultural heritage. Collectively, their work has a major impact, as each is a leader in sustainable agriculture and food justice movements. #earthday #blackfarmers #racialjustice #foodjustice #inthistogether

Did you know that wool was so prized in medieval Europe that entire economies were built around its trade? Its value and utility have stood the test of time. Here are a few more interesting facts about wool: 🐑One of its nicknames is the ‘fibre of civilization.’ 🐑The sheep industry began in central Asia over 10,000 years ago. 🐑Wool-spinning began in 3500 BC. 🐑The first sheep were black; white sheep were a genetic exception that became highly prized because they produce dyeable fiber. At Hinterveld, we have a deep appreciation for wool and its exceptional qualities and love adding to the history of this beautiful fibre. Our commitment to quality and sustainability ensures that you enjoy the best of what this remarkable fibre has to offer. #wool #naturalfibre #Hinterveld #fibreofcivilizasion

COWSPIRACY (1/2) Several years ago I came across the movie "Cowspiracy" which was produced in 2014 and which presents a strong case about the environmental impact of animal agriculture. It is definitely worth watching (or watching again) even if some information was criticized to be misleading. https://lnkd.in/dZhhE2ET Correctly Reflected Information (as per ChatGPT)! --------------------------------------- Animal Agriculture’s Environmental Impact: Water Use: The film correctly highlights that animal agriculture uses a significant amount of water. For example, it takes approximately 1,800 to 2,500 gallons of water to produce a pound of beef, compared to much lower water needs for plant-based foods Deforestation: Animal agriculture is a major driver of deforestation, particularly in the Amazon rainforest. The FAO estimates that nearly 70% of deforested land in the Amazon is used for livestock pasture. Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Animal agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. According to the FAO, it accounts for around 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, which aligns with the film's point about livestock's substantial environmental impact Overlooked by Environmental Organizations: The film argues that some major environmental organizations have been slow to address the role of animal agriculture in climate change, which is valid. Historically, organizations like Greenpeace and the Sierra Club have focused more on fossil fuels and industrial pollution, though many groups have since incorporated animal agriculture into their messaging In this context! Natural disasters in the US in the period from 2014 to 2024! List of natural disasters in the United States during the time since the movie was produced: 'Nine out of the 10 years with the highest number of natural disasters occurred in the last decade'. https://lnkd.in/dX98zgm3

Life out here is hard enough; we do not need our feed stores like Tractor Supply Co. to normalize the dangers we face or cut diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Those of us who deal with livestock are uniquely privy to the fact that it is a natural instinct to gravitate toward others who are similar to us. We see this everyday in our pastures; animals of the same breed or species are more likely to flock together. The Shetland sheep are clustered under the mulberry while the Gotlands graze atop the hill. The ponies are across the field entirely. We humans are similar. This instinct to gravitate toward the known and avoid the “other” can be credited with keeping us alive this long as a species, but the power structures at play in today’s world mean that we need to make concerted efforts to make sure our tendency to surround ourselves with “similar” people does not prevent others from having a place at the table. Keeping these largely unconscious biases in check is hard work, and the external encouragement of DEI programs can help us. I want to know how the companies we depend on as farmers are going to ensure everyone has a place.
