12 journalists spent the day learning the ins & outs of sustainable production of two of the region’s most important aquatic foods. The trip was part of the 2nd annual cohort of the CLF's Food Systems & Public Health Fellowship for Journalists. clf.jhsph.edu/stories/journa…

"This new law absolutely contradicts the claims and narrative of the Trump administration’s MAHA platform," write Anupama Joshi and @AvivaMusicus from the @CSPI in an op-ed. buff.ly/2NwVmvT

Last EPA count, Iowa has over 4000 CAFOS and only 157 have permits that require a nutrient management plan. How officials can claim that ALL farmers are land applying manure responsibly is beyond me.

JBS is a predator in the industry, says independent rancher & @SRAProject board member @MikeCallicrate. From Wall Street to Washington, the message is clear: profits matter more than people & planet. We must keep raising our voices for a #FairFoodSystem for all!
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS

NEW: JBS, the Brazilian meat-packing giant known for bribery and corruption scandals, just went public. The company was previously denied access to U.S. markets — until they donated millions to Trump’s inaugural fund. Now, small farms across the country are sounding the alarms.

There will be "no amnesty" for US farmworkers from deportation, per Ag. Sec. Rollins. Trump wants a 100% American workforce, she said. "There are 34 million able-bodied adults in our Medicaid program. There are plenty of workers in America." reuters.com/legal/governme…

Contract poultry growers are suing major meat companies for colluding to suppress pay & block fair competition. We stand with the growers demanding transparency, accountability, and a level playing field in our food system. It’s long overdue! #FairShake reuters.com/legal/litigati…

A new study looked at the impact of eating less meat on water quality in the U.S., and found even eating 10 percent less meat would have an impact: sentientmedia.org/eating-less-me…

One month ago, Joni Ernst told Iowans “We’ll, we’re all going to die. Tonight, she is voting to close rural hospitals, rip health care away from working folks, and pile up new debt - all to extend tax breaks to the wealthy and special interests. It’s time for change.#IASen

I don't see how this policy continues in the ag sector, especially meatpacking and dairy. I suspect there might be a reversal of the reversal of the reversal in our future, albeit a quieter one. sentientmedia.org/ice-raiding-fa…
