If you think America is the greatest country in the world, you're hopelessly brainwashed.

There is a hidden underground ecosystem of bacteria, tardigrades, worms, and newly discovered fungi hundreds of feet below the Great Lakes region. Some of these fungi break down ancient carbon and may play a bigger role in the carbon cycle than previously thought! 🧪

In June 1966, scientist James Lovelock warned Shell in a confidential memo of “the almost certain fact that the climate is worsening and the probability that the combustion of fuel is responsible.”
Shell would later become "a founding member of the denialist Global Climate Coalition." 😑

Farmers’ questions changed my research agenda: the case of knowledge sources in regenerative agriculture
Farmers’ questions led us to map how knowledge on regenerative practices spreads among regenerative farmers. We found that international sources mainly shape guiding principles, while local actors adapt these ideas into practices suited to specific farm contexts and conditions.
