1 replyWhat a strange publication (and name...) apparently funded by the Walton family and started by musician David Byrne?

This is fascinating, they're linked to the Arbutus Foundation (founded by David Byrne) which reported almost $850k in revenue in 2023. Seems like quite a few of big donors are involved. Some of their other affiliates also have major donors (such as the Solutions Journalism Network). https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/831...

It takes about 5 acres of native grassland per head of cattle. So a very small fraction of the beef we consume is raised this way.
