Why is this only just happening? It’s honestly ridiculous. We have been wearing masks for nearly a year now in Italy, it’s not fucking hard!

Morrisons supermarkets to ban shoppers who refuse to wear face masks https://t.co/5wFa5cNpit

Gather is brilliant - and an excellent reminder that peoples that lose their food sovereignty and culture are in big trouble

Sustainable/local/diverse food systems are vital for our future

And so it begins...

Neonicotinoids are lethal pesticides which the EU banned for good reason

This is about actual starving children. In the U.K. It was/is still about a struggling nhs.

[Anna Rapson @AnnaRapson]

Yet again the general public and independent businesses who have been struggling this year are footing the bill because our government is incompetent and willing to shit on those most in need. Whilst they take a fucking pay rise.

Local food production, that lots of people are part of, is vital

Societies that don’t recognise that, or actively dismantle it, are insane

We all need knowledge
And food trust
And places to interact with farming

And agency to shape and influence how our food is produced

If you live in the U.K. and you haven’t watched @Channel4 Dispatches: Dirty Secrets of American Food. You absolutely must and we must stop this #AgricultureBill #SaveBritishFarming

[Save British Farming 🇬🇧 @SaveBritishFood]

Imports must be to our standards? Absolutely, said @michaelgove *TWICE*. He guaranteed it. Yesterday he voted against. Watch. 👇😠

5. Interesting fact I’ve learned in my #soiladvocatetraining. Humus (the life and soul of soil stored carbon) and Human both mean ‘of/for’ the earth. We must save the #humus

[Anna Rapson @AnnaRapson]

4. We must celebrate those farms and farmers who are making those changes, who are feeding us, who are helping to save our planet and humanity! #SaveBritishFarming

[Anna Rapson @AnnaRapson]

3. We must pay attention to where our food comes from. It’s impact on our health and the environment are of the upmost importance. Clearly our government disagrees.

[Anna Rapson @AnnaRapson]

2. @farmstofeedus has an amazing database of small organic and regenerative farms here https://t.co/zQpxkCavOD

[Anna Rapson @AnnaRapson]

1. If the government cannot be bothered to protect our #foodstandards & #britishfarmers we must try. If you can/are able to/can afford please try to buy from the farms direct, sign up to local veg boxes, try to buy organic when you can. Try to find #regenerativefarms even better!

[Gareth Wyn Jones @1GarethWynJones]

Very disappointed this morning after last nights government defeated amendments to the #AgricultureBill which would have protected our #food & #farming standards.Don’t forget they’ve not only sold the farming community out but the health of our nation . @BorisJohnson

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Government just voted with majority of 53 to strip amendment 16 from #AgricultureBill, which would have safeguarded food standards in trade deals - demonstrating beyond doubt that their promises are totally utterly & completely worthless - even when enshrined in their manifesto👇

[Anna Rapson @AnnaRapson]

We must protect our #britishfarmers our food sovereignty and the high food standards that we must maintain in our country! #agriculturalbill #SaveBritishFarming

[Save British Farming 🇬🇧 @SaveBritishFood]

...And we’re off! As promised, we’ve taken our tractor demonstration to London just in time for the #AgricultureBill’s return to the commons today. We’re asking MPs to #SaveBritishFarming 🚜
