Each food items in a typical U.S. meal has traveled an average of 1,500 miles....If every U.S. citizen ate just one meal a week (any meal) composed of locally and organically raised meats and produce we would reduce our country's oil consumption by over 1.1 million barrels of oil every week. Do you know where your food comes from? The farmers in our community provide the crops, fruits, and vegetables that make up our produce section. Farms and ranches small and large are the backbones of our economy. And they need your support! Depending on how we spend them, our food dollars can either go to support a food industry devoted to quantity and convenience and “value” or they can nourish a food chain organized around values—values like quality and health. Yes, shopping this way takes more money and effort, but as soon you begin to treat that expenditure not just as shopping but also as a kind of vote—a vote for health & our countries well being in the largest sense. #SupportLocalFarmers #profoundfarms #texasfarmers #sustainablefarming #DFWcommunity #eatlocal

I am a bit late to this one but Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew have been running a summer programme called Food Forever. Given the short time left until this programme ends, we are unlikely to be able to visit but if you are close by, it looks interesting. Among other things, the programme has looked at what foods we currently grow that won't be so readily available as our climate changes. They suggest some alternatives that may grow in the more extreme conditions we are likely to experience. Apples and potatoes may be less common. Warmer winters mean perennial plants don't go dormant and pests and diseases survive longer and in greater numbers. We could be growing peaches and apricots, persimmons and kiwi fruits alongside things like tomatillos and callaloo. This is an example of how the food we eat will change in the near future. But if we're to avoid the worst effects of climate breakdown, the biggest changes we need to see are to the global food systems and the transnational companies that control them. #environment #environmentaleducation #climatecrisis https://lnkd.in/eFwCzBhp

DID YOU KNOW? The earliest instance of beekeeping dates back at least 4,500 years and is said to be second to the “oldest profession” 😊. AND Honey bees pollinate approximately one third of the food we consume. 🐝🐝🐝 Further, the second oldest trade is also occupied by small/family business owners, predominately men of a certain age, who dedicate their lives to this fine agricultural art. Ben Moore, owner of Ben's Bees, https://lnkd.in/g24pxR3G located in Victoria, Australia, joined me live on air back in December last year at the 94.1FM 3WBC studios. He so generously shared an amazing insight into his buzzing world and what a miraculous hive of industry, love and enjoyment apiculture (beekeeping) truly is. 🍯 Ben also spoke openly about his recent experience of losing a good mate and fellow beekeeper to suicide and the effect on how he now approaches life. We discussed some of the risk factors of men working in isolation and other social determinants that everyone can recognise by way of reducing risk. This is a really special show, so if you missed it, or want to listen again, visit my YouTube channel where you’ll find this and many others like it https://lnkd.in/fJV94My   What does it feel like, being you today? www.raebonney.au #menshealth #suicideprevention #beekeeping #smallbusiness #familybusiness #passionandpurpose #ethicalpractices #beefriendly #honey #wellbeing #dowhatyoulove #bees #beehive #socialdeterminants #apiculture #apiarist #workplacementalhealth

I know you all have been on the edge of your seats, waiting to see how this bee drama unfolds. Well. I checked the hive over the weekend and saw multiple stages of larvae, so all indications show that the queen is alive and well, creating new bees and making that hive a home. I’ll continue to check in and add supers when they need more space, cut off queen cells if they feel like making another mutiny, and will wait to get past the summer solstice - the peak of swarm season - when bees are most inclined to take off en masse to find better digs. Summer for beekeeping is a great time. There are honey flows, honey harvests, and massive growth in a beehive. Times are good, but even in June the diligent beekeeper has an eye toward the winter, making sure there are enough reserves to get the hive through lean times and the right hive structure to sustain them. I'll leave my business metaphors unspoken for this one. ➡ #beefacts a strong hive can grow to 80,000 bees over the course of a season!
