More frequent hot weather & #droughts dealt a significant blow to crop #yields, esp. for key #grains like #wheat, #barley & #maize. Warming & air dryness—a key factor in crop stress—surged in nearly every major agricultural region: woods.stanford.edu/news/heat-an... #climatechange #foodsecurity

Redirecting

Trump & Co are now defunding a research project from the WSU Breadlab that seeks to create more nutritious and affordable grains. It’s in year 3 of 5.

From the email:

We have been ordered to cease spending on our Soil to Society grant, a 5-year, $10 million project funded through the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative's (AFRI) Sustainable Agriculture Systems (SAS) program. We are in year 3 of 5 of this multidisciplinary research effort where crop and soil sciences, food science, and health and medicine disciplines work to create more nutritious, affordable, and accessible whole grain-based foods with our target crops of wheat, barley, buckwheat, quinoa, peas, and lentils. This pause amounts to a $2.5 million dollar loss in funding for the project, including salaries for several Breadlab staff, and operating funds for our wheat, barley, perennial grains, and quinoa breeding projects.

My current pet peeve is grocery stores shelving couscous in the rice and grains section. It's PASTA! Drives me crazy, and likely results in some people believing that couscous is a small yellow seed that has some sort of health benefit. #couscous #seeds #pasta #grains #food #semolina #flour #groceries #botany

The birds using my bird feeder are spoiled, picky bastards, and apparently, wheat grains are nature’s Candy Corn.

Good day to go to the Central Co-op here in Tacoma! This beer is made partially from Kernza, a perennial grain bred by The Land Institute.

This is the first perennial grain beer I've seen since the limited release of Long Root Ale in 2018. They also have a non-alcoholic version.

Perennial crops like Kernza have major environmental benefits. Their deep roots and perennial habit make them carbon negative and give them strong tolerance to abiotic stresses like drought.

#China: Rising demand for food calls for efforts to boost #grains production & self-sufficiency to counter potential disruptions to agricultural #trade with the US, the EU & Canada. To ensure #foodsecurity, China can further develop & integrate #biotechnology, strengthen equipment support & build a diversified food system: reuters.com/world/china/chinas

(2/2) Animal products, esp. ruminant #meat and luxury commodities like #coffee & cocoa, have 100x higher extinction opportunity costs than #grains & roots. Together with #dairy, #pig & #poultry products they form the majority of per-capita consumption impacts: doi.org/10.33774/coe-2024-fl5f #beef #pork
