The Night Shift

Every morning, for years, Josana Pinto da Costa would venture out onto the waterways lining Óbidos, Brazil, in a small fishing boat. She would glide over the murky, churning currents of the Amazon River Basin, her flat nets bringing in writhing hauls as the sun ascended into the cerulean skies above. Scorching temperatures in the Brazilian state of Pará have now made that routine unsafe. The heat has “been really intense” this year, said Pinto da Costa in Portuguese. It feels as if the “sun has

Spotlight On the Students Growing Kalo in Hawai’i

On a Friday morning in late September, the students in Naʻau ʻŌiwi gathered in Māhukona on the North Kohala Coast of Hawai’i Island to build beehive boxes.    The apiary they are building will produce honey for their secret recipe plans for the statewide Kalo Challenge, which is the culmination of their nine-month program that centers the ancestral practice of cultivating the Hawaiian staple crop kalo (taro), and serves as a competition where they do presentations on their cultural educatio

The High Tech Farm

Farming has come a long way in the last few years. We know, from the last census of agriculture, that farm life is changing. The number of farms is dropping, while the size of the average farm is going up. That means fewer farmers are working more land. In order to be efficient, farmers have to turn to technology. Whether that means electric tractors or drone sprayers, to save manpower on the fields, or installing solar panels or virtual fencing to make the most out of the acreage they have, far

Can Human Urine Fertilize Our Crops?

This story originally appeared at Ambrook Research. Twice a growing season, a big yellow truck with the license plate “P4FARMS” pulls into Jesse Kayan’s farm in Brattleboro, Vermont, loaded with a thousand gallons of pasteurized human urine sloshing around in IBC totes. For more than 10 years, Kayan has been applying human urine to his hayfields through a partnership with the Brattleboro-based Rich Earth Institute, a non-profit engaging in research, education and technological innovation to adva

Where Have All the Vets Gone?

When Aimee Thompson graduates from Washington State University Veterinary College in May 2025, she will not be heading to a bustling city or a thriving suburban clinic like many of her peers. Instead, she will return to her roots in rural Nevada. For Thompson, this is not just a career path but a calling deeply rooted in her heritage. “I’ve always had a deep attachment to veterinary medicine. My family has a cattle ranch, and I am sixth generation. I was raised around animals,” says

How Native Farmers Pair Ancestral Knowledge with Climate Expertise

Mary Oxendine grew up in Robeson County, NC, among the Lumbee people. As a child of multigenerational farmers, she grew up picking peas and butterbeans, working with her grandmother making sausages, and plucking chickens.    As an adult, she worked her way up in the local government’s food security program.  But when her father passed, she found herself reconnecting with farmers in the fields.      “I was looking for what made me feel grounded and what made me feel like I belonged. A

10 Fascinating Food Stories to Share Over Dinner

Food is personal. It’s more than just what you eat. It ties you to a community, to a culture. It can be history. It can be innovation. It can be an act of service to prepare it for someone else. And because food is such an intimate and important part of our lives, we know there are lots of questions surrounding it. Like why we primarily eat chicken eggs, for instance, but never see turkey benedict on the menu? Or why North Americans eschew mutton, and it’s taboo to eat swans? In this

Why Are Family Farms in Trouble?

Agriculture was once a cornerstone of the American way of life. Farmers helped build the country, and most of us depended on their products for the food we eat. But times have changed. Americans now eat fast food one to three times a week on average. Between 1998 and 2023, our reliance on imported food has tripled.    Because farming is so central to our nation’s identity—and its idea of itself—this future can feel fraught. In 2012, the USDA forecast that most (70 percent) family farms woul

This Holiday Season, Choose a Gift that Supports a Farmer

In many cultures around the world, the winter season offers an abundance of occasions to gather, celebrate, and demonstrate gratitude or affection. While the act of gift giving is often viewed as an interaction between two people (the giver and the receiver), it’s also an opportunity to have a much broader, lasting impact. Purchasing a present is not only a chance to care for our loved ones; it can also support our communities, sustain businesses that share our values, and advocate for healthy e

Meet the Native American Farmer Promoting Northern New Mexico’s Indigenous Foodways

The aroma of cedar smoke fills the early autumn air, punctuated by the crackle of wood as Norma Naranjo rakes out hot ashes from the horno, a beehive-shaped adobe oven, with a long wooden paddle. She piles the ashes on the ground and tops them with glossy green chiles from her garden; the heat will concentrate their flavor for later use in a stew.   Naranjo is the founder of The Feasting Place, a culinary and cultural program based out of her home on the Ohkay Owingeh (“Place of Strong People”)

Farmed, Wild, Lab Grown, or Plant-Based: Which Salmon is Best?

The sight of wild salmon coursing upstream through a river during spawning season is one often used to convey the essence of wilderness through media; I’ve seen spawning salmon imagery in film, on TV, and even in a Geico commercial. However, it’s a sight that few Americans who consume salmon will ever see—and maybe that’s where the issue starts. Our removal from this primal origin of our food is pushing consumption rates to their limits.    Americans crave salmon; the salmon industry is valued a

Menopause and mental health: The science of the menopausal brain

Reviewed by Brian St. Pierre, MS, RD and Helen Kollias, PhD It’s like my thoughts were under a pile of garbage. On a Friday night, as my husband and I tried to figure out where to eat, a typical conversation would go like this: Me: Do you want to go to that restaurant? Him: What restaurant? Me: I can’t think of the name. We’ve eaten there before. It’s that place with the peanut shells on the floor? It’s next to… You know… It’s on that road where we used to take the dog to the vet. Do you
