A Washington Cohousing Project Could Help Preserve Farmland

It’s a rare sunny day in January, and about a dozen people gather on a farm in Snohomish County, Washington. The farmer, Brett Aiello of Reconnecting Roots Farm, wants to suppress the weeds around some newly planted fruit trees without disturbing the soil, and he’s enlisted some help. The people in the field work together to sheet mulch the patch of land — some lay sections of clean cardboard, others cart wheelbarrows of bark chips across the field, carefully layering the chips onto the old boxe

Why Are Restaurants Selling Beef From Dairy Cows?

The American barbecue brisket that popped up on the menu at NYC bistroACRU was a bit different than what one would typically expect from a Greenwich Village restaurant. The meat came from a dairy cow. “It’s a premium product,” says executive chef and partner Daniel Garwood. “The cow has gone through its whole life. There’s a lot of natural marbling. It has an interesting flavor and texture.”Short ribs from a dairy cow at ACRU. Photography submitted by ACR

Biodynamic Farms Are One Thing. What About Biodynamic Businesses?

For decades after the concept of biodynamic farming was introduced in 1924, there was an aura of witch and wizard mysticism and charmingly earnest cluelessness around biodynamic farming. You want to make planting and harvesting choices according to the moon? Stuff yarrow into a deer bladder to create a tea that you’ll spritz on your crops? Um, okaaaay. You do you. Photography submitted by Gerard Bertrand.But over the past 25 years, peer-reviewed scientific studies show that biodynamic farming en

On the Ground with Grocery Stores Ditching Plastic

Lea Rainey knew that if all the plastic encasing the food she was buying at the grocery store was her pet peeve, other people must be frustrated by it as well. “I could have continued to be one of those people who complained, wishing that ‘they’–companies–would do something about it, or I could do something about it,” she says. In 2019, she openedRoots Zero Waste Market and Café in Garden City, Idaho. The market is Rainey’s small solution to a problem that has overwhelmed North America.Photograp

Opinion: The US Doesn’t Grow Enough Food – But We Could

Despite having nearly a billion acres of prime farmland and a population of only 330 million people, the U.S. agriculture system, often claimed to be able to “feed the world,” can no longer feed its own population. The number of U.S. farms producing food for consumption has been steadily declining for years, making us more reliant on other countries as we resort to importing necessary foods. This shows in America’s growing agricultural trade deficit, projected to reacha record-breaking $45.5 bil

In Bad Naturalist, an Author Settles on a Mountain Top and Tries to Farm

Years ago, author Paula Whyman left her DC-area home in search of a rural spot, hoping to get back to nature. What she found was 200 acres of old farmland atop a Virginia mountain. Despite having little experience in gardening or conservation, Whyman put down roots on the mountain top, and chronicled her efforts in her new book Bad Naturalist. The following passages are excerpted from Bad Naturalist, and have been lightly edited for length.   Wherever people go, they reshape the land,

Why the West Needs Prairie Dogs

The prairie dog caught in Trap 69 was angry. And who could blame her? After waking up in her burrow on a mid-September morning, she’d waddled innocently outside for a breakfast of mini marshmallows and carrots, only to find herself stuck in a wire cage and carried across the prairie. Then a pair of human hands had gripped her like a burrito while two more hands put a black rubber tracking collar around her neck.The situation was worse than she realized: Prairie dogs are among the most maligned a

Opinion: A More Resilient Food System Starts at the Community Level

It’s time to look beyond the Farm Bill.  The Farm Bill, passed once every five years, is the most important piece of federal legislation affecting American agriculture and food access. Originally designed to keep food prices fair for both supply and demand sides, ensure an adequate supply of food, and protect and sustain natural resources, this bill now plays a wildly outsized role in shaping our food system. Lobbyists and advocates influence it from all angles. Photo submitted by RIFPC.But

A Secret Weapon in Agriculture’s Climate Fight: Ants

The ant scurries along on six nimble legs. It catches up to its peers, a line of antennaed bugs roaming the winding surface of a tree, perpetually hunting for food. While doing so, each unknowingly leaves antibiotic microorganisms secreted from its feet. That trail of tiny footprints, indiscernible to the naked eye, is remarkably effective at protecting the tree from pathogens and pests. That makes ants, in the eyes of Ida Cecilie Jensen, a legion of unlikely warriors — one humans should conside

As Foodborne Illnesses Sicken Tens of Millions Each Year, FDA Falls Behind on Mandated Inspections

The Food and Drug Administration has not performed its legally required number of food safety inspections each year since 2018, according to a new government watchdog report. Each year, about one in six Americans falls ill to foodborne illnesses, and oversight agencies have routinely found that the U.S. food safety system — a shared responsibility of the FDA, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and several others — falls short. In 2017, the Government Accountability Office called for a unified st
