Genuinely digging the idea of #GraphicAbstracts, I was totally game than @lauradietrich_ asked if I could help with a visualisation of her latest #research concerning #Neolithic #querns and #FoodProcessing …

So, here we go: "Reading Saddle Querns", a short introduction.

Now you're curious about what this research is about, aren't you? 😉

Here's a joint article with some insight into what the #querns from early #Neolithic #GobekliTepe can tell us:

Still want to read more?

Well, good news: @lauradietrich_ has published a whole book on "#PlantFood Processing Tools at Early Neolithic #GöbekliTepe" in the meantime.

Available online and #OpenAccess via @Archaeopress here: archaeopress.com

Thank you @GeorgeMonbiot for #regenesis. One of those rare books I could subscribe to every word! Very deep and differentiated and systems thinking: the ingredients needed to get our #FoodSystems transformed. Some favorite quotes in this thread 1/8

"Q: 'What do you grow?' A: 'Biodiversity' The vegetables are a by-product". Tolly talks about vegetables. That concept should be default for all livestock systems. And #EcosystemServices be the reason for farming. 2/8

"Reducing food waste, while essential, is one of the many solutions [...] whose potential has been greatly exaggerated." No food should go wasted! But reducing #FoodWaste alone doesn't solve the systemic and distributional failures of our food systems. 3/8

With the shortest #UnionBudget, here are the quick pointers for India’s development journey as seen from the lens of the social development sector:

@shyamchivchiv @AshokGoelEP @mrugankmp @Nish4Impact @7Abhishekkumar @subhamize

Basic #HumanDevelopment needs: Food, House, Water, Education, and Health see a substantial increment in #BudgetAllocation, a welcome step towards building a #StrongerNation with #StrongFoundation. #BudgetSession2022 @sanjeevsanyal

Glad to see #UnionBudget2022 providing a vision for #India100 based on technology & sound foundation of #SocialDevelopmentGoals. Let’s forge that vision, and build the Bharat of our dreams. @NITIAayog #UnionBudgetUpdates #NGO #BudgetSession2022

These Lockdown months hv opened a window into a new world - Farms, Farmers & the Villages that are sandwiched between the wide Farms & Narrow rural roads.
A thread, some impressions. #Khet

It is the Kharif season - cash is king, cash crops is emperor.
The region has sown Soybean, Cotton & Lentil (Tur Dal). Tur dal is more of a space filler interspersed amongst the columns of the cash crops.

Soybean has a short cropping cycle. Much of the crop in this season has been destroyed or has got stunted due to poor quality seeds, unseasonal rains, or crop infections. #Khet
