Unpacking the "National Security" Implications of Glyphosate - Inside Animal Ag The claim that glyphosate is crucial to U.S. agricultural productivity and food security is a smokescreen. The true national security concern is that the government encourages farmers to grow cheap mo...

factory farming is wasting our food.

factory farming is wasting our food.

For every 100 calories of grain fed to animals, only 3-25 calories of meat are produced.

This wastes land, damages ecosystems and leaves people hungry.

We need to fix our broken food system. Please sign our open letter to the UK Prime Minister ➑️ https://bit.ly/4hc5yDO

Grasslands and Wetlands Are Being Gobbled Up By Agriculture, Mostly Livestock - Inside Climate News A new study takes a first-of-its kind look at how farming converts non-forested areas and major carbon sinks into cropland and pasture.

Land use, water use, biodiversity loss, pollution, human health impacts... the list is endless. insideclimatenews.org/news/2502202...

How Agricultural Concerns Are Shifting Iowa’s Political Landscape Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Art Cullen says agricultural issues like water pollution and cancer risk could sway the midterm elections.

β€œIn fact, there is a Democrat research scientist, Chris Jones, a water researcher who is running for IA Sec of Ag. A quixotic mission in IA, a D running against an incumbent R; that’s really a tall task.”

Tracing Bayer’s ties to power in Trump’s Washington From lobby firms to top officials, a look at how Bayer built access and secured favors from Trump's Washington.

Apart from human health considerations, the Trump exec order on glyphosate's importance to national security is utterly baffling. Until now. Great piece by @stacymalkan.bsky.social usrtk.org/pesticides/t...

The #1 way to lower your carbon footprint is to leave animals off your plate! Scientists estimate wild mammals & birds now make up only 4% of the world’s land vertebrate biomass, while humans & livestock account for roughly 96%. In other words, we did not simply shrink the wild, we replaced it.

They WERE lied to - in theory. But the old maxim applies. It's not what they say, it's what they DO. And this admin has shown all along it will side with corporations over public health. MAHA moms could turn it around now though.

Trump Order Aims to Boost Weedkiller Targeted in Health Lawsuits

Craziest thing ever. No indication that there is a deficit of glyphosate. And to claim that it's for "food" production is insanity. More than 70% used on corn & soybeans for animal feed & ethanol. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/u...

They think they're saving $ in regulation costs, but in fact, pollution (mostly from animal ag) is costing Americans much, much more. Look at some of these numbers. www.ucs.org/resources/le...

This is big. But not terribly surprising. Who can trust this administration's USDA for data, research, or anything?

BEY03F’s arrival in the mountains of LA county is a win for wildlife, but we are still fighting for protections for wolves. Yesterday @biologicaldiversity.org filed a lawsuit challenging the administration’s failure to develop a nat’l gray wolf recovery plan

Chris Jones should be the leader of Democratic agricultural policy. He's following the science.

While the EPA is about to dismantle itself, it's good to know where most of the pesticides in the U.S. are going. This is what is contaminating U.S. waterways, killing biodiversity, and ending up in your drinking water.

A reminder that when this is the week's trending topic, millions of birds will be killed via suffocation to deal with the spread of a virus that is exacerbated by the very conditions in which the birds are forced to live.

PFAS are not the only contaminants contaminating wells and even public water systems. Nitrates, pathogens, and pesticides should all be investigated. The "quietly" part is the EPA doing nothing.
