Few people have travelled so far and so lightly on the earth as Dervla Murphy. Never having owned a car, she has happily cycled the world, whilst living a simple, no frills life in Ireland. She would be a fitting symbol for the new world we seek..." Clare O'Grady Walshe, next

In Germany, "The controversial weed-killer #glyphosate will be removed from the market by the end of 2023 as part of a wider programme to reduce weed-killer use" Via @Reuters https://t.co/jYukBm0uPv

[GMO/Toxin Free USA @GMOFreeUSA]

Looks like Bayer-Monsanto is looking to hijack #organic vegetable farming and gardening. What we WANT is an organic future. What we DON'T WANT is Bayer-Monsanto taking it over. Boycott Bayer-Monsanto. Boycott Seminis. Boycott De Ruiter.

Advisable to read small print on these financial ‘arrangements’! $$$Neatly organised in advance of @FoodSystems.colonisation of Africa continues @NnimmoB @Afsafrica @CSM4CFS @TimothyAWise @MichaelFakhri @fleroy1974

[Alvaro Lario @IFADPresident]

By modernizing African agriculture, small-scale farmers will be in a better position to bring more affordable food to consumers & create decent livelihoods for millions of young Africans involved in the processing, storage & marketing of food. #FeedAfrica

@fleroy1974 @JoannaBlythman The only #food system needing a "reset" is the one currently destroying global #biodiversity by subsidising #BigAg & #BigFood's #pesticide-drenched, industrially-grown crops, ^30% of which are #wasted! Humans should eat the food we evolved to eat - not fake ultra-#processed junk!

[Food Sovereignty Ireland @FoodSovIreland]

Great thread

[Frédéric Leroy @fleroy1974]

First of all, food systems don't need to be "reset", that's a ludicrous statement. And second: stay the hell away from people's diets, you predators.

[Millions Against Monsanto @againstmonsanto]

Mexican farmers and consumers celebrated a huge victory after convincing the Mexican government to phase out #glyphosate and reject GMO corn. But #Bayer is not going down without a fight.

I joined my comrades in the Agroecology Research Action Collective in calling for a boycott of the UN Food Systems Summit. Read this to find out why:

Glad to see collaboration between @SlowFood and @CSM4CFS regarding #UNFSS2021 - it should be designed by people, not #corporations.

[Irish Organic Association @IrishOrganicA]

The organic sector continues to deliver what consumers want = food that is produced sustainability and protects biodiversity and the natural world. People buy it for health and well-being reasons and because it is a transparent food production system from farm to fork!

And the secret signs in Essex

A pair of beavers released two years ago
The first kits born in 2020
Three lodges built, a dozen dams
Willows cut & ash ignored
Water flows already changed, & floods prevented in the village below

What is not to like about rewilding
