Shoutout to my friends and colleagues in the #Extension Service for showing me years ago the value of #micrblogging to reach an information-hungry end-user community with timely updates on things like #crop #pest outbreaks and weather damage effects of crop future prices. Most must remain on #Twitter to continue serving these end-user communities, most of whom are going to get caught flat-footed by the coming Twitter flameout. I'm pushing for #LandGrant #universities to establish their own institutional #Mastodon servers as a means to help their #faculty and external constituents maintain their important information networks.

#Introduction :)

I have broad intersecting interests related to #health, #equity, #resilience, and #sustainability (HERS), esp as emergent properties of communities & #foodsystems

I've worked across F2P #ValueChains, directly & in support. The latter includes support for #Cornell U's public #LandGrant mission at Mann Library

I'm interested in how #SocioTechnicalSystems approaches, co-evolving social & technical capacities, can support #selfdetermined agrifood systems and a #SolidarityEconomy
