Thanks to the hard work of Toronto Food Policy Council and Toronto Public Health staff, farmers’ markets and fresh food markets can re-open this weekend, in line with new guidelines on health and safety. Follow these tips from @TOPublicHealth to safely support your local market.

Stiglitz: trickle-down economics isn't even a "theory," it's an ideology. The evidence is clear: it hasn't worked. There is a strong, credible progressive agenda that would fix the problem; with populism on the rise, now's the time to implement it. #NPC

"For Ocasio-Cortez, food is political, and the most tangible indicator of our social inequities. Sure, as living beings we all must eat to survive—and there’s unity in that—but what we eat and how much...and what we must do to get it varies widely." bonappetit.com/story/alexand…

Wild bees and other pollinators are in a far worse place than honeybees. Here’s our take on #GMO bees and robotic bees gmwatch.org/en/news/latest-n…

Honeybees today face widespread Colony Collapse, a disorder directly tied to the introduction of agricultural chemicals. Rather than easing use, #biotech firms have begun work on a patented #GMO bee. bit.ly/2zA9GsM

For clarity: Reporting on issues of transparency in government & public agencies is on behalf of the public, for the right of citizens & taxpayers to know what's going on in their name, with their money. It is not 'us against media.' Public service journalism is for people.

Excellent interview, Steve @TheAgenda. I will look up Graham Saul for more ideas on bridging fear to hope.

Here are my suggestions on how to talk about the living world with words that engage people, reveal rather than disguise realities, and honour what we seek to protect.

Recent testing found some @MiMasecaUSA flour samples tested as high as 94% for the presence of #GMOs. That’s a startling finding, given that #Maseca flour GMO crops are not allowed to be grown commercially in #Mexico. TAKE ACTION! ⬇️ advocacy.organicconsumers.or…

Phasing out pesticides is urgent - lots of great (but worrisome) data and facts to empower us to break the #GMOs #pesticides vicious circle. Canada is unfortunately lagging in terms of jurisdiction... #resettingtheTable2018 With @biotechaction @equiterre @Inter_Pares
