Excited to share this report I’ve been working on with co-author, @aralcanaf! The report synthesizes recs from 130 members of the Midwest ag community on how to support managed grazing and build a more just food system. Check it out! grasslandag.org/justtransitions

🎉New preprint! Last summer, we hosted a panel at @SBNTweets on leveraging privilege to improve racial equity in academia. I'm so honored to have been able to work with the amazing panelists to synthesize their wisdom! psyarxiv.com/mf8nw

We'd like to reach 1,000 followers by the end of the month. Can you help us get there with a retweet? We hope with more followers we'll be able to get the word out when we need support in pursuit of our federal recognition. Your allyship is vital.

So proud of @PatrickKMonari for publishing this awesome game -- check it out!

Patrick Monari, PhD@PatrickKMonari

My game, The Academy Chrysalis, is published! It follows a group of treasure hunters along a journey through a school shattered by academic hubris, and critically examines the colonialist roots of both fantasy adventuring and academic progress. Check out the link below ->

Huge oversight to exclude agriculture from #COP26. Ag needs to an integral part of convos on the climate crisis: motherjones.com/environment/20…

@DulanAon @agronomistag The idea of the "objective" scientist is antiquated. Acknowledging this fact and understanding scientific work in context makes for stronger scientists better positioned to support all farmers instead of perpetuating inequity or injustice. You ignore context to your detriment

English

Erin B Lowe@ErinBeeLowe·6 May

@DulanAon @agronomistag ^well said -- ag education, funding sources, the research questions you ask, the way you choose to ask them, & the way you frame your research are not neutral or apolitical. They are influenced by and influence this broader social/political/economic context

English

Andrew McGuire@agronomistag·6 May

I think it is important to separate political agroecology (political science) from production agroecology (biology, chemistry, and physics). I'm perhaps late to realize this, but political agroecology is critical theory applied to the food system and goes way beyond the farm.

Andrew McGuire@agronomistag

Ha. Often true.

English

Erin B Lowe@ErinBeeLowe·6 May

To tackle the complex problems we face today we need lenses like agroecology that integrate multiple disciplines and link that work to transformative action

English

Erin B Lowe@ErinBeeLowe·6 May

Silos do us no service. They may cater to our comforts, but they blind us to the context of our work and perperuate social and racial inequities

English

Erin B Lowe@ErinBeeLowe·6 May

Anyone who does ag science (or any research on natural resource management) & thinks their work is apolitical is deceiving themselves. Political agroecology is no more political than other ag science, it's just more honest about it

We also need more longer-term studies on the effects of *mature* plantings and on more direct metrics of population growth like nesting and reproductive success

English

Erin B Lowe@ErinBeeLowe·15 Oca

Planting size and richness don't significantly change results. We found some (non-quantitative) evidence for landscape being important (tentative support for plantings being most effective when surrounded by a moderate amount of existing habitat) but more research is needed
