We can’t airdrop our way out of an unfolding famine. Not in Gaza. 500,000 people are starving TODAY. The only way to get food to them, at scale, is by land. We’re grateful for the support, but we can’t afford to wait—Gaza is out of food and out of time.

THIS!! We have been alerting you to this danger for years but it wasn’t exciting enough for the media, I guess. And look where we are now

Growing cotton in the same field for 34 yrs. By recycling crop residues & maintaining organic matter, my soil stays alive with stable organic carbon & earthworms. Not chasing high yield, but continuity—this year too, I expect a satisfactory harvest. 🌱 #SoilHealth #Farming”
