✨ Finding Your Tribe in the Food Revolution ✨

This image speaks volumes, doesn't it?
It's not just about romance.

It's about connection. Understanding. Purpose.

In our journey towards a regenerative food system, this resonates deeply.

We're all standing on that cliff edge.
Looking out at the horizon of possibility.

Searching for those who share our vision.

Your passion for sustainable agriculture?

Your drive to connect urban and rural communities?

Your dream of a circular food economy?

That's your soul speaking.

And when you find others who get it?

Who light up at the mention of composting or urban farming?

Who see the poetry in soil regeneration?

That's when the magic happens.

Together, we're not just dreaming.

We're building.

We're growing.

We're transforming our food system from the ground up.

So to all you visionaries, innovators, and earth champions:

May you find your tribe.

May you speak your truth.

May you never have to translate your passion for a better world.

Because when we come together, speaking the same language of change?

That's when we move mountains. 🏔️

Or in our case, grow forests. 🌳🌱

🌍 The Secret Link Between Your Trash Can and Climate Change 🌡️

Ever wondered how your banana peel could save the planet?

Last week, I stood in my kitchen, about to toss a wilted lettuce leaf into the trash.

Suddenly, it hit me: this isn't just waste – it's a missed opportunity.

Here's the mind-blowing truth:

Our cities and farms are like estranged siblings, when they should be best friends.

We're treating urban and rural areas as separate worlds, and it's costing us our future.

Picture this:

Your coffee grounds nurturing the soil that grows your food.
Your city's treated wastewater quenching the thirst of nearby crops.

Rooftop gardens in your neighborhood feeding local families.

It's not a fantasy – it's the future we're missing out on.

By connecting our urban waste to rural needs, we could:

Cut food waste by half

Boost crop yields by 30%

Slash urban carbon emissions by 25%

But here's the kicker:

Most sustainable agriculture plans ignore this urban-rural link.

It's like trying to clap with one hand!

So, what can we do?

Start composting (trust me, it's easier than you think!)

Support local initiatives that connect city resources to farms

Amartya Sen is a Nobel prize-winning economist who has studied famine in the international context. He found that there has never been a famine in any country with a functioning democracy.

This shows us that there’s a strong correlation between political power and hunger. Vote accordingly.

Wow, time flies! TEN YEARS since Rise Nightclub closed, and a lot has happened since then. I dove down a rabbit hole learning about challenges in our food system and have been volunteering my time developing a strategy to make a real difference.

We now have the ability to rescue food from restaurants safely, thanks to efforts by ThreeSquare and MGM Grand Resorts in Las Vegas... and a bit of luck. Learn more next week when I share ALL the secrets... 😉
