Agriculture plays a vital role in sustaning society by providing food, employment, and economic stability. Recent trends indicate a growing interest in sustainable farming practices, organic agriculture, and supporting small-scale farmers. Petitions under this topic focus on issues such as combating pesticide use, promoting regenerative farming techniques, and ensuring fair wages for agricultural workers.
One petition with thousands of signatures calls for a ban on harmful pesticides that are harmful to bees and other pollinators, essential for crop production. Another petition highlights the importance of supporting local farmers and reducing the carbon footprint of food production through sustainable agriculture practices.
Join the movement to support a more environmentally friendly and socially responsible agriculture industry. Explore the petitions, raise awareness, and take action to contribute to a healthier and more sustainable food system for all.
I lost several chicks that were shipped to a customer because of negligence by the post office. The chicks were 2 days late getting to the customer and it caused them to perish. The post office allowed them to sit in their warehouse or truck for days. This was devastating.
I appreciate the concern but why is the petitioner still shipping one day old chicks if he knows they are suffering? One day old chicks should be with their mothers, not in containers being shipped like cargo.
Public universities have a responsibility to uphold academic freedom and prioritize educational quality over bureaucratic or commercial interests. Dr. Matt DeBacco’s contributions to UConn demonstrate a kind of real-world, student-centered education public institutions should protect. Academic freedom depends on institutional support for educators willing to explore emerging (and sometimes controversial) subjects.
Dr. DeBacco is an incredibly kind and charismatic presence at Rocky Hill High School, and I can only imagine it’s the same at UCONN. He makes all students feel welcome and has taught me so much about biology. It is clear that he puts an incredible amount of effort into not only teaching, but connecting with others. I, as well as many other students, spend every day before first period hanging out in his classroom. It makes me sad to know that he isn’t as appreciated elsewhere as he is here, and I hope that a solution is found to this situation. Just know that we got you, DeBacco! You’re not going anywhere if we have anything to say about it :)
Debacco was the first teacher to really help me comprehend biology, and was such a supportive teacher in forensics as well. I would not have been nearly as successful in high school if not for his guidance. Even my parents know about Dr. Debacco
Mr. Debbaco transcends borders in his dedication to knowledge and teaching. His work inspires minds across the globe, including here in Brazil, where I proudly support this petition. I want him to know that his contributions are vital to building a better world through science. Thank you, Mr. Debbaco — your impact is truly global.
Professor Debacco, a teacher that can teach the unteachable! I'm in my 40's, and they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, I'd gladly point them to Prof DeBacco and share all the knowledge I can possibly tap into with his online presentations and his willingness to help EVERYONE he comes across. If UConn takes his job, UConn is shooting itself in the foot because Professor DeBacco is one of a few singular reasons why that school makes sense. He's not an aged personality either. He will bend over backwards for his students in a way that isn't SEEN or DONE by his colleagues. His online presence is great, but his in person classes are phenomenal. This is a stupid move on the school's part, and shows their lack of understanding of real education quite frankly. The benefits to Professor's knowledge reaching the world is all the help it can accomplish!
He has helped countless people including myself with his sharing of knowledge & processes. He is a trusted, science back professional & the work he does is important to further understand this amazing plant. There is years of discovery within cannabis still, we have only started to figure out this wonderful plant.
Thank you
This is one of my favorite roads of travel and sits to close to the Withlacoochee State Forest to be developed. There plenty of less rural areas that can be developed where that kind of growth belongs. This state is over crowed as it is and Brooksville does not need to become part of The Villages. We the tax payers moved here for the serenity and we the people are in charge. The elected officials work for us and need work for our concerns. Put this to a public vote and not a decision of elected people.
