Farmworkers in Canada Hack Menus, Protest for Better Labor ... - Modern Farmer

In an increasingly urbanized society, most consumers live detached from the story of their food source—where their food comes from and who produced it. So, a group of migrant workers is forcing people to pay attention, with a public activism campaign in the form of unassuming QR codes. The Migrant Workers Alliance for Change has tagged tables in hundreds of restaurants in Ottawa, Toronto and surrounding areas with large political offices with the codes. The codes appear to be menus; but upon…

A New Egg Co-operative Has Hatched in the Western U.S. - Modern Farmer

It doesn’t always pay to be an egg farmer—just ask Cliff Lillywhite. The owner and president of Oakdell Egg Farms, in North Salt Lake, UT, says he’s never experienced a year more difficult or more disruptive than the one that’s just passed. “Our farms were not spared from bird flu,” says Lillywhite, referencing two separate incidents that required him to cull nearly half of his flock, more than one million chickens.

How To Grow Your Own Christmas Tree - Modern Farmer

Those who celebrate Christmas know that the holiday wouldn’t be complete without a tall, wiry coniferous tree, draped in lights and decorations. Despite the convenience of owning an artificial tree, many Americans still appreciate the authenticity of having a real one in their homes.

There’s no denying that an annual trip out to the farm to pick the perfect tree makes for a memorable family…

The Oglala Lakota chef, who is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has spent many years trying to change that with food. In 2014, Sherman started the Sioux Chef, an Indigenous catering and education business, but noticed quickly that there was a greater need to help heal his community from the effects of colonization by reconnecting them with the original food of his ancestors. “There’s so much know…

A Virus is Spreading and It’s Killing Rabbits - Modern Farmer

As if the rising human death toll from COVID-19 wasn’t enough to worry about, an outbreak of a highly contagious disease is now threatening the country’s rabbits.

Fish Sticks are Not So Environmentally Friendly, Study Finds - Mode...

Fish sticks are a frozen food favorite for many, but a new study might make you think twice about sinking your teeth into the processed product. Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have found that the process of making fish sticks, imitation crab and fish fillets using Alaskan pollock has a fairly significant carbon footprint. Their study found that this process can generate almost twice as much greenhouse gases as fishing alone. A lot of research has been done about the en…

These Lost Crops Were a Likely Staple Food in Indigenous North ... ...

A group of researchers has unearthed a piece of agricultural history that shows a pair of lost crops on which indigenous communities could have relied as much as traditionally grown corn. In a recent paper in the Journal of Ethnobiology, researchers examined germination requirements and yield for goosefoot and erect knotweed, two plants that were once harvested in eastern North America for thousands of years and then abandoned. Lead author Natalie Mueller grew the plants and found that, grown to…

Plant Biodiversity Is Struggling to Recover on Abandoned Farmland -...

A group of Minnesota researchers have determined that plant biodiversity hasn’t returned to fields abandoned by farmers years ago. Their recent study, published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution last month, found that farmland deserted between one and 91 years ago has generally been unable to regain its natural variety of species or amount of plants. Researchers used 37 years of plant data from 21 Minnesota grasslands and savannahs. Most of this land had been plowed for agricultural use…
