A wonderful young homesteading couple from Indiana visited us over the weekend with a first person disconcerting story. Two weeks after moving into their dream homestead on 40 acres, they learned that the surrounding 3,200 acres and another 5,000 acres just down the road were leased for solar farms. Upon learning about this, they immediately asked the solar company if it would buy their land, but of course these outfits don’t buy land; they just lease it.

As temperature records are shattered, unprecedented weather slams down, and international summits, like next week’s COP28 in Dubai, come and go—it’s easy to feel down about climate change.

Governments are still failing to recognize food systems as a critical lever for change—despite food systems pumping out one-third of greenhouse gas emissions, and climate chaos decimating harvests and slowing productivity.
