Did you know that #algorithm based platforms like #insta have "tools" for creators to know when their audience is usually active so they can plan when to post for more "engagement?"
Guess who can't access those kind of "helpful tools" because it's inaccessible - cognitively broken me
More in this hoot train
Love a #Mastodon rant from my janky insta posts...
Today is a beautiful day for a walk around the village where I work. Our land is still resting now, but we could plant and sow things today if we wanted. In the surrounding wooded areas, the spring plants are busy being fabulous, and underneath the leafless trees are carpets of spring greens.
The Color of Food: Stories of Race, Resilience and Farming by Natasha Bowen
The growing trend of organic farming and homesteading is changing the way the farmer is portrayed in mainstream media, and yet, farmers of color are still largely left out of the picture. The Color of Food seeks to rectify this.
Faharetana has been working for sustainable agriculture in the highlands of Madagascar for nine years, maintaining a completely self-sufficient farm using trees as the basis of its agronomic systems

Almost Heaven Farm is a permaculture training and development center that grows its own food, sells commercially, transforms crops into value-added food products, demonstrates agroecology, teaches permaculture and consults on projects throughout Nepal
Comunidad de Cantagallo has a farm that is an agroecological school for small producers. The idea is to prompt agroecological technology around communities of the farm.

Can the French #wine industry adapt fast enough to #climate change?
“We’re going back to ancient ways.” To deal with erratic frosts, he has begun pruning his vines later in the year, which postpones bud emergence. To cope with drought & high temps, he’s created higher canopies of leaves that provide more shade to the grapes. He works the land with #horses, rather than tractors, to preserve the health of the soil, & 6 years ago he started to plant annual vegetation around the vines to retain winter & spring water into the summer. In the summer, he cuts the annuals back to create “a sponge of #organic matter” that continues to hold water & cool the soil.
More & more French wine-makers are following a similar path. “The more climate-resilient or smart the vineyard is, the better able to adapt to climate change." They’re seeing the importance of regenerative farming that focuses on natural resources & the need to mitigate their impacts." #permaculturehttps://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02974-y
