You can watch @alterurbanist and I discuss our book Radical Abundance: How to Win a Green Democratic Future. The talk took place in Amsterdam this weekend and was followed by an excellent discussion. The link to the video is in the first comment below

This is excellent political messaging. @ZackPolanski hits straight to the core of the problem. This system is intolerable and it must be overcome: production should be organized around human well-being and ecology, not around maximizing profits for the rich.

Great work Kai Heron, Bertie Russell and Kier Milburn publishing this much needed inspiration about what we can do to improve the food and farming system.

Farmers protests across Europe seized headlines and hijacked the political agenda. But once the action moved from the streets to the negotiating table, who spoke for them? We profile power brokers claiming to represent farmers🧵https://t.co/rIXFWOPrtU

@OcisaCorbyn @andrewfeinstein And help us build a new left party. We’ve started a new eco-socialist party. We’re far from the finished article, come help shape us. https://t.co/4rf84Px8k0 @tf_politics & we want people rooted in their community or workplace who will to do the nitty gritty work of building it.

Disappointment for growers and eaters.. #horticulture
"It is becoming ever clearer to growers that government is not prepared to intervene in the supply chain and this will result in more businesses closing, leaving larger gaps in the UK’s food security,”

"Life for many Japanese—and others in the Global North—is too busy, materially excessive, and ecologically untenable. We would all be happier, Saito argues, by cutting back on work and consumption, and devoting more hours to leisure, family, and sleep." https://t.co/EKGBqepEFU

This may only be the tip of the iceberg of what's to come I'm afraid: https://t.co/HQuOcP4y5d

@Kate_Laverty Thanks Kate, yes in Frith Farm Scarborough Maine they feed 300 families from three acres. Norn Iron is mainly a cattle ranch to provide feed for milk and beef for export, until we get a major policy shift it won't change.
