Hundreds of farmworkers and their supporters are in New York City for Wendy's shareholder meeting, demanding improved working conditions for tomato pickers. Organized by the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), the Fair Food campaign, featuring organizer Gerardo Reyes-Chavez, advocates for better wages and workers' rights.

This initiative follows a White House-recognized Social Responsibility Program, which McDonald's, Subway, Burger King, and Taco Bell have already joined. These companies pay an extra penny per pound of tomatoes to raise wages and commit to sourcing from farms that respect workers' rights.

Deepa Senapathi's study investigated over 80 years of land-cover change in Britain and its impact on insect pollinator communities. The research reveals that expanding single habitat types, such as arable land, can be detrimental to pollinators.

Conversely, diverse, mixed habitats, including urban environments, may benefit species diversity. This study was published on April 1, 2015.

This excerpt from my keynote at a PPC Greece event highlights two major forces shaping businesses today: climate change and artificial intelligence (AI). By 2030, we face a climate emergency driven by rising temperatures and extreme weather, yet we have the solutions; what we lack is political will. Investing in climate technology is crucial, especially in areas like battery storage and precision agriculture. Redirecting the $6.8 trillion spent on gas subsidies could significantly aid the green energy transition.

AI is transforming efficiency in the workplace, with generative AI making professionals more productive. As machines become capable of tasks traditionally performed by humans, we must consider the implications for jobs and innovation. I believe millennials will lead this paradigm shift towards sustainability and a focus on people and purpose by 2030. For more insights, visit thehumanresistance.net.
