Delighted to be attending @ORFC this week. I’m particularly interested in what’s happening around new entrants - here’s my story as featured in @WMNNews last month #orfc #ORFC23 #farming #newentrants

A little bit of heaven ⁦@growcomm⁩ Dagenham farm. Apricot blossom and the bees. Shame this doesn’t do smell.

[Growing Communities @growcomm]

Applications close this coming Sunday, 24 January.

Happy place is planting salad listening to @herdyshepherd1 #EnglishPastoral on radio 4. Get so inspired I write books in my head but by the time I'm home with the kids too knackered to put anything down. Blooming wonderful farming. It can be so inspiring...... and knackering!

@Channel4 @growcomm @jamieoliver This makes my heart swell. I love this place, our farm, with my heart, soul and biceps! May we make many more places like this for our city communities.

Posted @withrepost • @hannah_grows @jamieoliver came to @growingcommunities Dagenham Farm and it was a pleasure to cook and share food with the Essex Legend. Shout out to the Lifeline crew who cooked up an absolute storm and made being at the farm so… https://t.co/hMAMsfvMPP

[Sutton Community Farm @SuttonFarm]

Love this profile of our friends @growcomm! If you were inspired by @jamieoliver's trip to Dagenham but live in South London, we would love to meet you. We welcome 40 volunteers a week to help us grow 100 varieties of veg on our South London farm!

[Alice Belle Holden @AliceBHolden]

Yes! Let’s ring the city with peri urban farms!

[Professor Tim Lang @ProfTimLang]

This project (Growing Communities) is ace; an inspiration. And Jamie Oliver is so right; this could be happening everywhere. Access to land, good leaders and people can inspire a better food system.

[Alice Belle Holden @AliceBHolden]

@sodopizzalondon @growcomm thanks dan. We love everything you do at sodo too. Chefs who really care about where their food comes from and who produces it!

[Alice Belle Holden @AliceBHolden]

@tomfredfox Yes!

This is a #ClimateEmergency

Climate change is not a threat - it’s here

There is no precedent for the climate crisis, its dangers & opportunities

We need fresh thinking, and bold & urgent action #GreenNewDeal

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

MPs must declare a climate emergency:

🔘 Rigorous Parliamentary scrutiny
🔘 Every law climate-proofed
🔘 Keep fossil fuels in the ground
🔘 A bold and visionary #GreenNewDeal

This is a crisis - let's treat it like one. #ClimateStrike @Strike4Youth

[New Economy Organisers Network @NEON_UK]

The @NEF podcast on the #GreenNewDeal is out and well worth a listen

What it is, how to pay for it, how to make the case.

No wonder these MPs are remainers... Gove's Green Brexit proposals make needed changes, but will the government follow through?
