Some personal news: So excited to be joining the Global Alliance for the Future of Food as its new Executive Director! I feel such urgency and opportunity for food systems transformation and can't wait to collaborate with the GA team, members, and beyond for real change.
We're thrilled to welcome @annalappe as our new Executive Director.
Rooted in 7️⃣ principles, the Global Alliance connects the dots between food and climate, addressing pressing challenges.
Don't miss @annalappe's vision for our next chapter 👇
"Factory farms? A 'necessary evil'? I don’t think so!
Read my latest @nytimes Letter to the Editor pushing back on this harmful myth. My two cents were joined by other thoughtful responses.

Great to join @m_kessler_ (@Table) on the @WeAreDrilled podcast where we discussed fossil fuels & food—and the sobering truth about how intertwined they are.

Reflecting on the recent US election, I join the throes of folks deeply concerned about what the next Trump admin could mean for the issues we care about.

To tackle biodiversity loss and the climate crisis, we need a focused effort to transform our food systems.

PROUD DAUGHTER MOMENT! 🌟 My mom, @fmlappe, made @nytimes' list of the 25 most influential cookbooks of the past 100 years! 🎉
Diet for a Small Planet keeps inspiring us to eat consciously and pushes for policies that make a better food system. 💚

Ramped-up monocultures & skyrocketing pesticide use are turning landscapes into food deserts and threatening biodiversity.
It was great to join @TableDebates to discuss these urgent need for food systems transformation to tackle the #BiodiversityCrisis: tabledebates.org/podcast/epi…

In our new podcast, @grocery_nerd puts it plainly: “I consider fossil fuels to be, & this isn’t a compliment, the lifeblood of the food industry.” It’s true today—our food systems use an estimated 15% of global fossil fuels—but it doesn’t have to be. More: bit.ly/fueltofork
I often get asked how agroecological practices can drive systems change and tackle the biodiversity crisis. Colombia's leadership provides valuable lessons for all of us.
A big thank you to @Devex for featuring our op-ed: devex.com/news/opinion-ecolo… @futureoffoodorg
Getting a lot of folks asking what I think about #MAHA. As @EWGPrez says, I'm not here to tell anyone how to vote, but I am here to ask folks to ask good questions and kick the tires on catchy campaign slogans. See Ken Cook's take here:
@realRFKJr's Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) campaign is a con--and a dangerous one. How can you know for sure? For a reason no one has talked about: zero opposition from the industries Bobby claims Trump has empowered him to cast out of Washington. 🧵 1/5
At #COP16, embedding agroecology into National Biodiversity Strategies is critical to:
✅ Cut fossil fuel reliance
✅ Support small-scale farmers & Indigenous communities
✅ Boost biodiversity & climate resilience
Policymakers, let's act now! bit.ly/NBSAPS
Listening to leaders at COP16, it’s clear: integrating agroecology into NBSAPs is essential.
Industrial #FoodSystems are fueling biodiversity loss & the climate crisis. This report shows how agroecology can align with biodiversity targets for real change: bit.ly/boosting-biodiversity…
Soaking in the energy at #COP16!
It’s inspiring to learn from the frontline food leaders we’ve helped support to be here @futureoffoodorg. Each brings unique perspectives and powerful leadership as advocates for food sovereignty and Indigenous rights.

Food systems contribute 15% of global fossil fuel use annually. But there’s hope— worldwide people are tapping into Indigenous knowledge, agroecology, & regenerative practices to phase out fossil fuels.💚

As Colombia hosts #COP16, its introduction of a new national policy aimed at strengthening agroecological approaches signals the importance of transforming our food systems to tackle the #biodiversity crisis.

New op-ed from colleagues @annalappe at @futureoffoodorg, @biovision_org and @BiovIntCIAT_eng
"To ensure that agroecological approaches are widely taken up and deliver their full potential for sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity, strengthened financing models are essential. This means not only increasing funding flows but also addressing issues of injustice, historical legacies, and ecological debt that shape financing institutions, flows, and arrangements."

Ahead of #COP16, tune into the latest @TABLEDebates podcast where experts discuss how transforming food systems can safeguard both people and the planet:

What biodiversity do you care about?
With our planet facing a biodiversity crisis, the latest episode of the Feed Podcast speaks to farmers, biophysical modelers, & biologists about what forms of life we prioritize.
Listen here:

ALT Flyer for the Season 3 podcast episode 15 of Feed with Anna Lappé and other guests with the quote: "When we talk about biodiversity, we knit that conversation together with human health, with climate...It's really important to have that kind of a unified systemic conversation."
"Our global food system is responsible for 80% of biodiversity collapse and a third of emissions fueling the climate crisis." It’s time for philanthropy to scale real, community-led, systems-grounded solutions!
