Imagine stepping into a grocery store where fresh produce is grown just a few steps above you. This is the reality at the IGA grocery store in Saint Laurent, Quebec, thanks to La Ferme de rue Montréal ’s rooftop farm. In fact, TV monitors in the produce section let customers watch in real-time as farmers harvest veggies that will be on the shelves within the hour.

A presidency under Kamala Harris would create a vastly different environment for US farmers, workers, and eaters than a presidency under Donald Trump.

As the problem of food waste persists in the US, some organizations are stepping up to develop apps that can help ensure no edible food, from leftover pizza to wonky carrots, is left behind. These food waste apps are transforming how we manage surplus food, converting potential waste into savings for consumers and assistance for those in need. These apps help change perceptions about food waste, offer affordable food options, and support environmentally friendly practices. https://ow.ly/Typa50SSca5 #ModernFarmer Too Good To Go Food Rescue US

Last month, we attended the weekly farmer’s market in Greenwood, Mississippi, in the heart of the agriculturally rich Mississippi Delta. There, we joined Mississippi Today , a Pulitzer-prize-winning nonprofit news outlet based in the nearby city of Jackson, to spend the morning talking to shoppers and local vendors–a welcoming group of farmers, bakers, artisans, and entrepreneurs–to better understand the issues they confront living and working in the region. We look forward to meeting and learning more from communities around the country, both rural and urban.

Many retail products lack information about PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) use because it's not required. Also, a "PFAS-free" label doesn't always provide complete information. When you can ask a company about their product, it's important to ask the right questions. Asking if a product is PFAS-free isn’t going to cut it. Swipe through for some questions, and save this post to help you in the future. #ModernFarmer
