“When crops are burned for fuel, new land can be needed to grow new crops for food or fuel. This can lead to indirect land clearance and deforestation. Staggeringly, biofuels globally therefore today emit 16% more CO₂ emissions than the fossil fuels they replace.”

i feel like this story is particularly important right now, because protein-maxxing is *so* in vogue. before working on this, i believed i was woefully protein deficient

it turns out that's just a myth that has been floating around for decades—the average american gets more than enough protein!!

Vinca minor, the nonnative escapee Lesser Periwinkle, blooming along Boulder Creek.
Highly invasive in places like California's coast range, it doesn't seem to be spreading much into Colorado's wildlands possibly because it's too cold and dry here.

Do you research food, food systems or a topic related to food?

TABLE & @foodpolicycitysg.bsky.social in partnership with @wellcometrust.bsky.social, have launched a new survey to learn what you want from food research, what you need from funders, & key topics.

Take the survey here: buff.ly/ROPrwTY
A flyer for a food research survey put out by TABLE, the Wellcome Trust and the Centre for Food Policy. The text says "Are you a food researcher? We want to hear from you to help shape the food research agenda for the EU and the UK! Take our survey to share your views on on how research and funding can better facilitate food system transformation. Results are anonymous, and will feed directly into Wellcome Trust’s food research strategy for the next 10 years."

This isn’t actually a thread of different posts. It’s all just different cultivars of a single post
The “That's On Me, I Set the Bar Too Low” meme, but edited to reference Brassica oleracea. Text as follows: Jake: I'm an expert on vegetables Jess: Oh yeah? Name ten vegetables Jake: Brassica oleracea Jess: That's on me, I set the bar too low.
