"You could literally take a hungry climate refugee and put them in the middle of a field of food, and they’d still starve to death." Interesting take, with which I fully agree. I wonder how the writer might feel about Chris Smaje's Small Farm Future?

And it's out, the latest issue of Eat This Newsletter https://buttondown.email/jeremycherfas/archive/linked/

A slew of stories from around the web, each of them connected to at least one of the others because that's the way of the food and agriculture system.

Just finished the draft of the latest Eat This Newsletter, which goes out tomorrow at around 13:00 CEST.

One thing I was especially grateful for was @mastoreaderio@mastodon.social from @badlogic@mastodon.gamedev.place

Decided to take up Datasette again to look at Activity data in Health.app. Turns out that the Health export does not include distance for several workouts, even though I can see distance in both Health and Fitness. No idea why this is. Anyone have a clue?

The photo challenge was at micro.blog which is also federated. I post on my own site, which feeds to micro.blog via RSS. There is a different sort of challenge for October, called Inktober, for drawings, but I don't do that.

Of course InternationalCoffeeOutside Day and Coffeeneuring are full of flim-flam, but still, might be fun to attempt one or both, even though I will probably be on my own throughout.

I wish there were a way to really edit geojson online. I know there are sites where you can tweak a linestring, add a marker and other little bits. I'd love to be able to colour segments of the linestring differently, add markers with popups, etc. Does such a thing exist?

Sometimes a big story seems to have been everywhere I look, and I wonder whether it is worth including in my newsletter. So I ask people not quite as nerdy as me, and they say “what big story?”, which is why I do include it.

Always feels good to finish tomorrow's Eat This Newsletter a little early. Sign up at https://buttondown.email/jeremycherfas/ if you would like my take on nice rice, Big Food, gin, tomatoes and brassicas.

Ischia is absolutely glorious and full of interesting places. There's William Walton's garden, if you are into that sort of thing, not to mention the hot baths.
