I can’t wait until farming relies on solar/wind not diesel.

It’s not hoarding: Farmers need to buy huge amounts of #diesel to keep our food secure

Don’t know what to say. We should be encouraging #foodsecurity to protect us from overseas shocks and instead local growers could go out of business. What a mess.

Landfill powered farming

AI cover image a bit deceptive given the prototype actually looks like this though.

Do solar panels hurt crop yields? It depends on where you farm. A new study shows agrivoltaics can cut maize yields in humid regions but boost soybean production in drier climates.

"Why farming? Honestly, it’s my rebellion."

Growing local is a political act against a broken system. Amy's real "policy work" happens at Fresh Heads Farm. It’s a quiet revolution, one harvest at a time.

Being against the grain never tasted so good.

How to Turn a Potato Into a Battery | Science Project How to make batteries out of potatoes using zinc and copper electrodes, connect them in series and in parallel, and use them to power a buzzer and LED.

A new spin on couch potato.
And … potential as an emergency battery backup. Intentional or a happy coincidence🧐
Which variety of potato gives more power, alternative if not available, grading for consistency of size. How many spuds per km.

"Policies that address oversupply are urgently needed to take the foot off the gas of milk production and halt family dairy farm closures. A better pricing system that supports fair prices for family dairy farms and does not necessitate exponential herd growth is necessary now." #familyfarms #agsky

We spend a lot of time focusing on regenerative #agriculture inputs, but we don't always consider the equipment we're using in that equation.
