Some personal news: So excited to be joining the Global Alliance for the Future of Food as its new Executive Director! I feel such urgency and opportunity for food systems transformation and can't wait to collaborate with the GA team, members, and beyond for real change.

"Factory farms? A 'necessary evil'? I don’t think so! Read my latest @nytimes Letter to the Editor pushing back on this harmful myth. My two cents were joined by other thoughtful responses. Read more: nytimes.com/2025/01/04/opini…

Great to join @m_kessler_ (@Table) on the @WeAreDrilled podcast where we discussed fossil fuels & food—and the sobering truth about how intertwined they are. Listen in: open.spotify.com/episode/7zQ… You can listen to our #FueltoFork podcast here: fueltofork.com/ @IPESfood

Reflecting on the recent US election, I join the throes of folks deeply concerned about what the next Trump admin could mean for the issues we care about. @CivilEats has a roundup of reflections from some of my favorite food thinkers and doers: civileats.com/2024/11/13/foo…

To tackle biodiversity loss and the climate crisis, we need a focused effort to transform our food systems. Grateful to join Hans Herren and @marcequinterot in our new op-ed for @Devex, exploring the potential of agroecology: ow.ly/g19650TT7yr @futureoffoodorg

PROUD DAUGHTER MOMENT! 🌟 My mom, @fmlappe, made @nytimes' list of the 25 most influential cookbooks of the past 100 years! 🎉 Diet for a Small Planet keeps inspiring us to eat consciously and pushes for policies that make a better food system. 💚 ow.ly/mwMT50UhvqR

In our new podcast, @grocery_nerd puts it plainly: “I consider fossil fuels to be, & this isn’t a compliment, the lifeblood of the food industry.” It’s true today—our food systems use an estimated 15% of global fossil fuels—but it doesn’t have to be. More: bit.ly/fueltofork

I often get asked how agroecological practices can drive systems change and tackle the biodiversity crisis. Colombia's leadership provides valuable lessons for all of us. A big thank you to @Devex for featuring our op-ed: devex.com/news/opinion-ecolo… @futureoffoodorg

Getting a lot of folks asking what I think about #MAHA. As @EWGPrez says, I'm not here to tell anyone how to vote, but I am here to ask folks to ask good questions and kick the tires on catchy campaign slogans. See Ken Cook's take here:

At #COP16, embedding agroecology into National Biodiversity Strategies is critical to: ✅ Cut fossil fuel reliance ✅ Support small-scale farmers & Indigenous communities ✅ Boost biodiversity & climate resilience Policymakers, let's act now! bit.ly/NBSAPS

Listening to leaders at COP16, it’s clear: integrating agroecology into NBSAPs is essential. Industrial #FoodSystems are fueling biodiversity loss & the climate crisis. This report shows how agroecology can align with biodiversity targets for real change: bit.ly/boosting-biodiversity…

Soaking in the energy at #COP16! It’s inspiring to learn from the frontline food leaders we’ve helped support to be here @futureoffoodorg. Each brings unique perspectives and powerful leadership as advocates for food sovereignty and Indigenous rights. bit.ly/cop16-frontline-leade…

Food systems contribute 15% of global fossil fuel use annually. But there’s hope— worldwide people are tapping into Indigenous knowledge, agroecology, & regenerative practices to phase out fossil fuels.💚 Honored to join the first episode of #FuelToFork bit.ly/3YBcMK0

Integrating agroecology into National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans is key to halting biodiversity loss & restoring nature. Policymakers, explore strategies to align with #GlobalBiodiversityFramework targets while promoting climate action: bit.ly/NBSAPS

"Our global food system is responsible for 80% of biodiversity collapse and a third of emissions fueling the climate crisis." It’s time for philanthropy to scale real, community-led, systems-grounded solutions! Watch the @IFAD Innovation Talk here: youtube.com/live/ZOOtGfR7CDM…

Always inspired by @billmckibben, reminding us it’s never too late to act on climate. We discussed industry tactics to delay progress and our love for induction stoves. In this election season, I reminded everyone: vote with your fork and your vote! 📺youtube.com/watch?v=noYegfI0…
