A local food charity was asking about what kind of platforms might be available instead of Instaram?

I don't have good answers; except that as we have seen in the research that you must stay on instagram but create an alternative home which has all of the functionality you need and then point people from the place you dislike, towards the spaces you like

Within reason, of course.

Has anyone here has cause to develop food pantry communication systems?

Hey, you! Yes, YOU! Are you planting a garden and a couple fruit trees yet? Even if you rent a townhouse, you can use big pots on your porch. And learn to cook. Because the US govt is cutting 3500 more FDA jobs as well as 2400 at CDC... and these people keep infant formula, farm pesticides, meat packing plants, and bird flu from being even more unsafe than they already are.

This is an interesting article, worth a full read, on an aspect of Climate not always talked about in much detail.

«… The drying out of soil “increases the severity and frequency” of major droughts …, explains Dr Benjamin Cook, an … Earth system scientist … “Droughts are one of the most impactful, expensive natural hazards out there, because they are typically persistent and long lasting. Everything needs water – ecosystems need water, agriculture needs water. People need water. If you don’t have enough water – you’re in trouble.” … The study points to two factors driving gradual depletion of soil moisture over the last quarter century: fluctuations to rainfall patterns and increasing “evaporative demand”. … the atmosphere’s “thirst” for water …»

When I read about these things, I think of the danger to the food system and human society. It saddens me beyond measure that we've got a society run by capitalists who, like locusts, just want to efficiently consume every last resource the planet has to offer with no apparent regard for the future.

The article also mentions it will be expensive, though. Does that matter to any of you capitalists? I know risk of societal collapse is not a worthy concern to you, just something to monetize. But it could affect prices along the way. Is THAT perhaps a concern, at least? Sigh.

Honest agriculture is local and regional. It is not factory farming. It is not trying to grow water intensive crops in the desert.

It is food security by more traditional means, not corporate profiteering. Not necessarily without tools, but definitely without disregard for the present and future growing conditions. Honest agriculture is reality based, focusing on the needs of the community.

To Garden Honestly Adrian Ayres Fisher originally published by Ecological Gardening March 26, 2025 Honest gardening requires that we take stock of and work within existing conditions, that we don’t try to make the garden something that it isn’t or couldn’t be. Honest gardening is a kind of truth telling, the way art or literature can be. About the image: The great painter Joan Mitchell spent her childhood in Chicago. She once said she painted from nostalgia. The impressionist style image of a golden wheat field with purpose stalks in the foreground is from a large, astonishing, lively work worth seeing in its entirety. I photographed it at the Tate Modern, London in 2024. "This geographic location, this history, this soil, climate, air, this piece of what was an oak woodland savanna, now built up, and moving into a future of climate change and extreme weather. This is gardening with something that feels like memory, of this place as it might have been 150 years or so ago. It is gardening with something that feels like nostalgia for an imagined future of restored ecosystems and societal health but is most likely planning for a range of possible futures ranging from dire to less dire, and always hoping for the survival of biodiversity, of ecosystem complexity."

The Big Box CEOs of the US want to extract *wealth* from you, not just a reasonable profit, and that requires scale. It represents all that's wrong with American culture and the economy.

And is it a good idea to be 10 miles from the nearest grocery store in a disaster or emergency? Or when gas becomes $15 a gallon? No.

Resilience means duplication - lots of it. Stores in every neighborhood.

A Strong Towns Podcast: Upzoned || "Can We Take Community Wealth Back From Walmart and Kroger?" In this Upzoned episode, Abby is joined by Strong Towns Chief Technical Advisor Edward Erfurt to discuss the emergence of food deserts in the United States. In the 1980s, the U.S. government stopped enforcing price discrimination laws, letting large supermarkets use their size to leverage better prices from suppliers. This led to the closure of many small, independent groceries and helped create today's food deserts. Abby and Edward discuss the shift from grocery stores being neighborhood assets to regional destinations and how that extracts wealth from communities. Then they share bottom-up ways that everyday people can address these food shortages in their communities.

@Blueteamsherpa When I see that millions spontaneously took to the streets in Germany (84,000,000 inhabitants) because a candidate for chancellor had accepted the votes of the ultra-right for a decision, I've actually been waiting far too long for the crowds in the USA.

This is a part of his #eugenics ideology, and it's you, the non-superrich people of the US, he wants to kill!

These are photos from the first time. I salvaged them from my former birdsite posts before I shut down that account. However, what you see here are all tops that were put into the ground. Granted, I do live on Oahu, in Hawaii, but I have seen this done in pots, in apartments, etc. #gardening #nowisthetime #foodsecurity #growyourown

While I do not expect to completely replace what I eat with my own garden, I am going to do this for my peace of mind, mental health, and to reconnect. I have grandparents, now passed, who did farm their 2 acres with a crick running through it and I think I should make an effort.

Consider planting an extra row for the hungry in your garden this spring

If you’re going to plant fruits, vegetables or herbs this spring, why not grow some extra for your local soup kitchen or pantry?

By JESSICA DAMIANO, March 18, 2025

"If you’re gearing up to plant fruits, vegetables or herbs this spring, why not grow some extra to donate to your local #SoupKitchen or #FoodPantry?

"The national #PlantARowForTheHungry campaign, launched in 1995, has been encouraging home and community gardeners to do just that every year to help feed neighbors in need of fresh food.

"The program was spearheaded in 1995 by Anchorage Daily News garden columnist Jeff Lowenfels, who wrote a column encouraging his readers to plant extra crops and donate their harvests.

"After seeing the impact that his column had on local food donations, Lowenfels partnered with GardenComm International, then known as Garden Writers of America, to enlist garden columnists all over the country to promote the cause in their own communities. Since then, more than 20 million pounds of produce, providing more than 80 million meals, have been donated through the campaign by home gardeners.

"'All of this has been achieved without government subsidy or bureaucratic red tape — just people helping people,' according to organizers on the campaign’s website. And there’s no big advertising campaign, either — just garden columnists and their readers spreading the word."
