Explaining to my students today why it's gotten harder to pass a Farm Bill. In addition to moving to the right, the ideological dispersion of the GOP is much wider than it was fifty years ago, fraying the farm subsidies-food stamps coalition (among other things).

Here’s a good one: “Regenerative Agriculture: An agronomic perspective” by Giller et al. (2021). Open access link: 🧪 #FoodStudies #AgSky journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
Anyone got any good reading recommendations on the history of regenerative agriculture/organic agriculture?
I'm curious why the idea of organic rose to the top early, and why regenerative ag received the spotlight recently despite its roots also running deep into the 20th century

A lot of hard truths in here. All food and climate peeps should read this.
We are in a climate crisis. No time to waste. So it’s time to be honest about what purported climate solutions can and can’t do, and keep eyes wide open for tradeoffs, which occur *very often* in agriculture. 🧪 #FoodStudies

Regenerative grazing is overhyped as a climate solution, and used to greenwash the livestock sector. As a climate solution, if pales to curbing waste and shifting diets.
But it does have other benefits for soil erosion and watersheds. So we should do some of it anyway.
