I liked this very, very much. In a gently amusing and friendly but unsettling way, it’s the most fascinating personal discussion about what AI will do to our future and why our anxiety is rising. @NewYorker newyorker.com/culture/the-ne…

We're back at the Farm Collaborative! Five years ago, this market was part of Food Leaders Fellow Eden Vardy's action plan. We returned with the fifth cohort to this gorgeous building. But what touched our hearts is that he and his team specifically designed an amphitheater for the fellowship's annual performance of The Visit and the outdoor dining area for the cohort's final Aspen dinner.
This is how much the fellowship experience means to our fellows. Thank you, Eden!
Thank you for the beautiful farm to table dinner by Chef Phillip of Pan and Fork.

“Nutrition and food are part of the national conversation, in a way they haven’t been,” Kummer tells Food Tank. “It’s a really exciting moment with a lot of potential.”
Thank you Ella Deutchman reporting for Food Tank: foodtank.com/news/2026/02/as…

Healthier food is one of RFK Jr.’s stated priorities. So why does the Trump administration’s latest budget proposal eliminate CDC’s entire nutrition division, including programs that help small grocers stock fruits and vegetables?

Household air pollution, caused by cooking with solid fuels such as charcoal, wood and dung, is a potent public health threat.
Replacing these fuels with natural gas, electricity, and other clean energy is a triple win: less disease, better environment, safer communities. unep.org/news-and-stories/st…

Bonnie Slotnick’s store is a treasure and so is she.
"I’ve always wanted someone to take me to lunch and write about me, 'She pushed her salad away.' There’s a salad there I would never push away without finishing.”
