🚨 NEW: Who really controls what we eat?

The #AgribusinessAtlas exposes how a handful of corporations are tightening their grip on our food – squeezing farmers, raising prices, influencing policy, and fuelling climate & health crises.

🚨Trump’s trade wars are hitting food systems hard – pushing up #foodprices and deepening hunger.

Local food systems aren't just a nice idea. They're a lifeline for #foodsecurity.

The real #innovation story is not in the cloud.
It’s in farmers’ fields.

Farmers & communities are
🌾restoring soils
🌱breeding climate-adapted crops
🐞managing pests ecologically
🌍 building resilience.

Stop sidelining them.

It's time for a #FossilFreeFood system.
🧪 Phase out fossil-based inputs
🌱 Invest in agroecology & local food systems
🛑 Cut plastic use in food packaging
💰 Rein in corporate control

Fuel To Fork - IPES-Food report
Our food system uses 40% of petrochemicals and 15% of fossil fuels – yet it's left out of the climate conversation. Here's the path to fossil-free food.

🚨 Who controls the future of farming?

#BigTech is betting 💰billions on AI, cloud platforms, precision tools.

But this is:
⚠️driving farmers into debt
⚠️locking in high-cost systems
⚠️concentrating control over food.

#Innovation isn’t neutral.

Who defines the problem shapes the solution.

In a time of climate & geopolitical instability, we cannot afford more tech that deepens dependency & concentrate power.

We need to reclaim innovation. Redirect funding. Break up Big Tech power.

No creo que hoy tenga una cola de firmas como la que tuve hace 7 años con #IPES📖 porque esta vez la novela no habla de #Aldeadávila (que eso influye mucho), pero sigo yendo al escenario con la misma ilusión de siempre.
Con muchas ganas de veros esta tarde para hablar de #TrasLasHuellasDelTiempo📖.

Great news for #SustainableAgriculture👨‍🌾🍲

Our article on "Designing #ClimateSmart Crops🌾🌽" is a top-read📖in #JSAE🔥🤩

We explored innovative ways to boost crop tolerance and secure #FoodSecurity🥗🍱 for the future

Strategies for designing climate-smart crops. These strategies include: sequence-based tools (i.e., whole genome sequencing or resequencing, pan-genomics ‘including pan-genomes and super-pangenomes’, multi-omics analysis ‘transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, ionomics, epigenomics, miRNAomics, etc.’, single-cell omics, and key role of bioinformatics and data analysis); modern biotechnological tools (i.e., CRISPR-based gene editing, transgenic breeding ‘overexpression of key genes in the main crop for stress tolerance’, and emerging synthetic biology); soil microbiome engineering (e.g., by using suitable inoculants, etc.); and agronomics practices (e.g., intercropping, exogenous application of chemical compounds ‘such as phytohormones, neurotransmitters, gastransmitters, biostimulants, nanoparticles, etc.’, pest management, using locally adapted seeds in climate-affected lands, organic and smart farming.
