As the world continues to shift towards sustainability, innovative solutions are emerging to address food security in urban areas. One such solution is the transformation of empty shopping malls into indoor farms that grow fresh produce year-round. This repurposing of vacant retail spaces provides an eco-friendly way to help feed city populations while also reducing the carbon footprint associated with transporting food long distances.

Indoor farming offers several advantages, including year-round crop production regardless of climate or weather conditions. By utilizing advanced techniques like hydroponics and vertical farming, these urban farms can grow food efficiently in small spaces, making them ideal for densely populated cities. Additionally, these farms use less water than traditional agriculture, making them a more sustainable choice for the future.

This trend represents a new way of thinking about food production—one that prioritizes local, sustainable solutions to global challenges. As more cities adopt this model, we could see a significant reduction in food waste and a decrease in the need for long-distance food transport.

What are your thoughts on this innovative way of growing food? Could we see this trend spreading to more cities around the world? Share your ideas and thoughts on sustainable food production! 🌱🏙️

Stop USDA’s Regenerative Agriculture Cuts
Regenerative and organic farmers have never needed you more!

The Trump Administration has been crashing a wrecking ball into the U.S. Department of Agriculture all year. Now it wants us to believe that two cents is more than one dollar because two is more than one.

After refusing to disburse $6.062 billion appropriated by Congress for family farmers adopting regenerative agriculture practices and serving local markets, we’re now supposed to celebrate because it is earmarking $700 million for regenerative agriculture.

This is money Congress appropriated for two regenerative agriculture programs (the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and the Conservation Stewardship Program) with a total annual budget of $4.515 billion. So, $3.815 billion (84 percent) of EQIP and CSP funds will be going to factory farms and pesticide-drenched genetically modified field crops.

Admittedly, Trump’s USDA isn’t the first to misappropriate these funds, but it is the first to celebrate it.

TAKE ACTION! Remind Congress: It Appropriated $4.5B for Regenerative, It Can’t Let USDA Only Give It $700M!

The Wild American Chestnut: A Giant Returns... Without Genetic Engineering – WATCH THE SHORT FILM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebywGe-J730 -- This short film by our allies, Global Justice Ecology Project, documents the thousands of thriving, wild American chestnut trees on the land of renowned biologist Dr. Bernd Heinrich—contradicting decades of assumptions about the trees’ decline. The three generations of wild American chestnut trees growing on Heinrich's land, numbering in the thousands, are rewriting the story of a species once thought lost and declared "functionally extinct." Their resilience challenges the widespread claim that only genetic engineering can restore the species. Planted by blue jays and squirrels, these trees show us something far more hopeful: the wild American chestnut is already returning, naturally. “This film presents some good news about the wild American Chestnut and is a stark contrast to claims that genetically engineered trees are necessary to bring the species back,” said Anne Petermann, GJEP Executive Director. “It was stunning to see so many robust trees representing three generations of natural growth, when the GE approach has produced nothing but failures.”

We've been campaigning against the release of GMO chestnut trees for years. This should be the nail in the coffin for the GMO profiteers seeking USDA approval to release their GMO chestnut trees into our wild forests. No Thanks! Not wanted. Not needed. Not proven safe.
