#PuertoRicans are devising the #FoodSystem of tomorrow

by Ayurella Horn-Muller, September 3, 2025

Excerpt: "In the wake of #HurricaneMaria, many residents of #PuertoRico, especially those working to improve the archipelago’s local food system, began to think about hurricane preparedness differently. Because they weren’t able to rely on federal assistance, they decided to build their own prototypes of #resilience, which didn’t just set them up to be ready for the next storm, but also set them up to live better everyday lives. #Cooperatives, #gardens, and school-based agricultural programs emerged to fill the gaps left by the government. #Barter networks and local farmers markets have become increasingly popular. #MutualAid kitchens and community-led supermarkets have also expanded their work, ramping up donations, surplus food, and partnerships with nearby producers. These projects aren’t just temporary disaster responses. They are models of long-term resilience and food independence. They are living blueprints of what food sovereignty could look like in Puerto Rico — and elsewhere."

World’s tiniest ripe currant tomato? 🤔

World’s tiniest ripe currant tomato? 🤔

Brought our winter squash in to cure today. I could have left them on the plants a bit longer but the leaves were mostly gone, so risk/reward, I thought they should come inside.

They're Crown Prince squash - first time growing them here, and they've grown better than the butternut squashes, so I'd consider it a success. (The butternuts are fine, just small - their plants are still healthy though so we'll leave them out until the first frost warning).

Picked the first capsicum from the garden.
Chopped it up, and sauteed some with some mushrooms, tomato, and spring onions, then added it to some baked beans on toast for breakfast.

The aroma when I cut it open was Fucking Amazing... it's so easy to forget how good food is meant to be until you grow your own.

@pluralistic Thank you for helping solar power get to people. As you share, the fossil fuel and technology sectors are trying to add choke points to solar power systems. #solar, #solarpunk, #offgridsolar, #balconysolar, #growyourown, #solarpower, #solarpanels
