Lots of new people joining Bluesky, and lots of great starter packs floating around, so here’s another idea: if you work at the intersection of food/agriculture, nature, and climate, introduce yourself and what you do below so folks can keep connecting. Who’s here now?
Comments
All my courses have at least one unit on the intersection of politics, food, and climate.
G’day 👋 I work with farmers & farmer-facing agribusiness on all things agtech & increasing efficiencies, from Arizona, across & up the coast to the PNW, and then over to western Montana.
Drivers and Barriers to Biogas and Biofertilizer Systems on Gotland’, investigated how diverse
actors can align at local, national, and global levels to accelerate sustainable transitions in small-
island contexts.
Incidentally, when you see posts about "honeybees being an alien, introduced species" that means Americas, Australia etv. They are native to Europe, Africa and Asia.
Recently published my first book on Urban Beekeeping & sustainable urban design!
Good thread: https://bsky.app/profile/thebeeguy.bsky.social/post/3lb5dihecvc27
That thread is not wrong, but also not entirely correct either. Honeybees are in trouble, but won't ever go extinct like many native bees could.
Lots of actions that can help both, but 'beewashing' with honeybees should be avoided.

I'm a #Hoosier and all the stuff I'll be posting here are my own views. Let's connect.

I've spent my whole professional career working on decarbonizing aviation and agriculture, the two hardest sectors to do it in.
I love the challenge of the overlapping puzzle pieces that have to come together to solve these wicked problems.
My research focuses on aquatic GHGs and biogeochemistry in human-made waters, often featuring those in agricultural catchments.
My last couple of projects have looked at the C footprint of farm dams, irrigation canals, and ditches.
I sound like I'm on team carbon, but my favourite GHG is N2O

My editor, if he were here, would especially thank you for buying the book (or causing someone else to).
Maybe there are some writers who don't like hearing that readers enjoyed their stuff, but I am not one of them. :)
I'm using my career to build a better world, working to bring an end to factory farming by accelerating the alternative protein industry.

Our mission is to build a vibrant, family farm-centered system of agriculture in America.
We'd love to connect.
We need non-scientists - who total over 8 billion - to act.
We need the best scientists to help direct us all in how we should act, and how we can convince others.
One of the fossil fuel industry’s / Govts greatest tricks was to put the onus on individuals doing their own bit to help … knowing that actually that’s very hard when systems are built against you doing so.
Ie poor public transport, renewables pegged at gas prices etc
Unfortunately this option is not available, as the vast majority of voters in western countries are unfortunately idiots.
You can’t even look at a weather report on Facebook / Twitter without seeing an avalanche of denialism and “chemtrails” “geoengineering” “they’re controlling the weather” type comments. 😕
Only the stupid Americans are stupidly not convinced - and even there, around 50% are convinced.

Our work programmes include agriculture, SDGs, circular economy, land use and biodiversity.
