My professional, political, and social circles are defined by folks who are hyper-focused on sustainability. Whether it’s energy, justice, infrastructure, agriculture, transportation, or policy, sustainability and resilience are the core directives of nearly everyone I associate with. I am incredibly lucky to be a part of this community. The energy and passion pulsating through it leads to endlessly fascinating discussions about the myriad of ways people are striving for a better future. It is an incredible space to be in.

Why do alt-history people never focus on infrastructure or innovation? What would have happened had bikes been invented centuries before cars instead of around the same time? How different would the built environment and our culture have looked?
Personally, I think centuries of more established bike use would have created an infrastructure that limits how well cars take off. Cities would have entrenched themselves in a cheap, dense manner of transit.
I could be wrong, lots of dense cities were wrecked by the car when it was commercialized. I'd love to hear any thoughts :)

In this post, I wanted to put together a round-up of some of my favorite news sources focused on agriculture. Containing a mix of food security and production-oriented periodicals coupled with more sustainability-minded publications, this directory provides various news sources that allow one to be reasonably informed about global agricultural trends. I hope this directory can be useful to those wishing to be better informed about the sector and access a range of rigorous, well-researched, and trustworthy reporting and perspectives.
