Congrats to ARE students, Carolanne Cusack, Michael Wolf and Kate Ferrigno, who took home second place in the FDRS national case study marketing competition!

Cool article on Indigenous chef reclaiming Native food. And nice reminder that Native isn’t synonymous with historical.

Love my alma mater!

It's always been crazy to me that one can't get data on CAFO locations.

ARE students Hannah and Matt used a multistakeholder approach to look at UConn’s local food procurement. Not only did we learn about the cool work being done by UConnDiningServices we got to tour the impressive facilities of Red's Best and Omar Coffee . are.uconn.edu/2022/10/27/far…

Representation matters in reporting. This podcast provides much more detail and nuance. crooked.com/podcast/2-behi…

Got to give my first external seminar as a Purdue Ag Econ Assistant Professor today 😊 Thank you UConn CAHNR for having me and thank you to @SteinbachAgEcon, Cristina Connolly, Jackson Somers, Rigoberto Lopez and all the fantastic students for meeting with me!

Highlights the Mashantucket Pequot’s impressive ag operations AND discusses the inequities caused by discriminatory USDA practices (and land grant theft). Great things can happen when Extension supports Native communities--hopefully the Farm Bill expands these programs.
