How do you know when your spud is a dud? These GMO potatoes silence the gene that turns them brown with bruising. However, discoloration is practical – it serves an essential purpose by identifying rot or places where pathogens may have entered. Learn more about why potatoes are on the Non-GMO Project’s High-Risk List ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gcMYb_FV

👏 🎉 The US farm agency will provide discrimination payments to 43,000 farmers. The Inflation Reduction Act allocated $2.2 billion for the discrimination payments. For decades, Black farmers and other under-represented groups in farming have alleged bias in the agency's farm loan programs. These payments represent a notable and hopeful step forward.

“There will always be a community of people who see the value of cooperating with nature and the necessity of drawing a line in the sand and saying 'too much shortcutting of nature, too much manipulation of nature, that’s precisely what got us into the problems that we’re dealing with today.'"

This is cool! reNourish Studio has helped to catalyze lot of the thinking going into our new Food Integrity Collective, and it is neat to see some of that so artfully edited and captured in this conversation. Thanks Eric Pierce and team!
What is the role of certifications in our food system? They play a crucial role in measuring and verifying that the food a customer is purchasing is up to a certain standard. In essence they build trust between a product and its customer. What if, the way certifications were enacted, the incentive structures embedded in them, and the value systems they upheld meant that their contribution was being minimized? What if, in some cases this meant that certifications were not actually upholding the values we want to see in our fooding system? As the conversation around certifications, and specifically certifications for regeneratively produced products, heats up we are taking a step back to take a closer look at standards and measurement as a WHOLE and how we can regenerate the way we think about them to reflect what communities VALUE. Tune into the latest episode of the Hungry for Regeneration podcast to learn more about how we are thinking about certifications, standards and measurement.
