The Importance of Local Food Systems 🥕 Local food systems support local economies, reduce transportation emissions, and provide fresh, nutritious food. Farmers markets and community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs are great examples. Let's celebrate the farmers who contribute to local food systems. 🥕🏡 #LocalFood #FarmToTable

Farmers grow more than food, they grow communities, they grow dreams, they grow opportunities. Investing in small-scale farmers means investing in a brighter future for food, nutrition and agriculture. Food systems provide much more than just food. Billions of people rely on them for an income, including small-scale farmers in the world’s most vulnerable regions. When we talk about transforming global food systems we must not leave them behind.

Today's wastewater (effluent and sewage) is polluting nature even when treated. These pollutants enter our foods (agriculture and animals) through water, and ther is a proliferation of non-communicable diseases like cancer, chronic acidity, baldness, auto-immune disorders.. Humans and Nature need to build a symbiotic relationship, esp in water. Nature gives us clean water and elements, and we need to give nature clean water and elements back. Today's technology is able to achieve this feet at an affordable cost, if we care enough to implement it. #aquatron #wastewater #health #diseases #drinkingwater #effluent #sewage

#FarmBillHistory is complicated, but this Intagram reel does a good job simplifying and summarizing how it has led to unhealthy food, a reduction of small farms and our current health crisis. ❔ Like all large bills, there have been successes and failures and the two often overlap: Successes ✔ Supported sustainable farming practices like the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), helping to reduce soil erosion and improve water quality. ✔ Enhanced food security by funding programs like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) ✔ Invested in rural development by providing critical funding to rural infrastructure projects, including broadband access, renewable energy, and farm technology. Failures ❌ Despite providing subsidies, it has been criticized for disproportionately benefiting large agribusinesses, leaving small-scale farmers struggling to compete. ❌ While supporting conservation programs, enough has not been done to address climate change by prioritizing regenerative agriculture practices. ❌ The SNAP program promotes ultra-processed foods with limited nutritional value. What are your thoughts about the Farm Bill? Note: This was an experiment.

Building a product-market-fit (PMF) entails having deep understanding of customer's need/pain points and how the product can actually solve their problem in the most seamless way. At Agrovesto, our commitment is towards food security for all, but to achieve this, smallholder farmers who produces over 80% of food consumed need to experience drastic growth in production to meet daily growing demands, access profitable market and live a better life. If you have food on your table right now, just know someone behind the scene has made it possible. The journey from farm to table can be difficult and long, but for us making the journey easier and shorter is our delight at every seconds. #food #foodsecurity #agriculture #improvedlivelihood #economicsustainability #nopoverty #zerohunger

Multistate research affects #FarmersMarkets in many ways. Research teams are assessing consumer preferences, helping farmers label products, ensuring food safety, developing farmers markets for low-income areas and food deserts, and more.

Today, on World Food Day, we celebrate more than just meals on our tables. It's a moment to recognize the importance of food security and honour the tireless efforts of our farmers, the true backbone of agriculture. 🚜💚 From dawn till dusk, they cultivate our lands, ensuring that nutritious food reaches our homes. Their hard work and resilience are the bedrock of our sustenance. At Green Pillars, we stand in gratitude for the vital role farmers play in feeding our communities and sustaining our nation. Let's join hands with them, from starting a small garden or supporting local agriculture. Together, we can enhance food security in one garden, one farm plot at a time. Now is the time to harness every piece of available land to nourish our growing population. Let's empower more farmers and cultivate a future where no one goes hungry. #WorldFoodDay #FoodSecurity #FarmersFeedUs #GreenPillars #SustainableAgriculture

‘Food is not broken’ ? Of course, food is not broken. Is our food system broken? Yes, it is broken. We can only amend in acceptance not denial. The #foodsystem may have been 'worst 60 years ago' but it was not a #biologicalweapon leading to various health complications and #environmentalcrisis as today. The time to act is now to deliver #goodfood4all https://lnkd.in/e4qVzc3i #buildbackbetter #PlanToSave

🌪️ Hurricanes have a profound impact on agriculture, disrupting food production and supply chains. As we face these challenges, it's crucial to support those affected by food insecurity. 🌾  In 2020, hurricanes reduced crop production by nearly 16%, highlighting the urgent need for resilient food systems. Let’s work together to ensure every American has access to the nutrition they need. 🌱 #FeedAmerica #FoodSecurity #Agriculture

After meeting many regular agricultural farming families, meeting folks wanting healthy food-no GMOs--folks liking farm to table menus, culinary establishments, attendees of local farm markets, interfacing with former farmers of the Netherlands who had managed prior to those now in charge of their governments-helping to make their country become a prime world food producing nation-and earlier in life meeting with Congressional staffs re fighting world hunger, etc I see a dangerous precedent in current policies being dictated from folks carefully placed in strategic positions to control systems which could orchestrate political, ideological hostilities vs basic necessities--such as food production and mass starvation...https://lnkd.in/ekBDaeuD
