Thanks @Cambridge_Uni for banning my grass-fed beef - how about addressing the primary causes of climate change, divesting your investment portfolio of fossil fuel burning activities, & changing your 17,000 hectares of fairly sterile arable land?
These are my fields
Show me yours

Wonderful to talk about #animalwelfare and the #SDGs and share the work of @AWSciCent @HorseCharity and @ILRI - thanks for the opportunity #VetScienceWeek

[Lesley Mitchell @GoodFoodFutures]

@vickihird lovely to wave at you across a room. Let’s look at how @sustain @Forum4theFuture can work closer together again - it’s time!

[Tom Watson @tom_watson]

New information about costs to our society and economy shows Brexit is much more difficult than thought in 2016. We've hit an impasse over deal/no deal. The only way to resolve this is to take it back to the people and I want Labour to campaign to Remain. @NFUtweets @SusFoodTrust

[UC Davis Magazine @UCDavisMagazine]

Did you hear the one about the gassy cow? #UCDavis researchers are serious about making cattle more sustainable and less gassy. @GHGGuru @ErmiasKebreab https://t.co/9vxyoA5Kw5

Shoutout to the many companies and organizations who work with @CRSB_beef to advance #Cdnbeef #sustainability. #community #engagement #bettertogether #progress

This is what a broken food system might look like: “Price of coffee plunges to 13-year low (and farmers go broke), while you won’t feel anything at your coffee shop”. https://t.co/RabcHUpxSt

[UN Climate Change @UNFCCC]

.@UN Chief @antonioguterres is calling for a halt to any new #coal power plants by 2020 to save the climate.

It is possible.

This @IRENA chart shows that by 2020, #solarenergy and onshore #wind will produce cheaper electricity than any #fossilfuel alternatives. #ParisAgreement

[Lesley Mitchell @GoodFoodFutures]

@bbc5live @sleepdiplomat Amazing hour’s radio about the value of sleep. @sleepdiplomat you should do ‘go to sleep’ and meditation podcasts with that voice of yours! I never usually listen to the 9-10 slot but this was fantastic.

[Innovation Forum @InnovaForum]

[Isabelle Grosmaitre @IGrosmaitre]

Many thanks@InnovaForum We are at a tipping point where millenials are craving for change, they are becoming activits for a better world. Businesses will need to serve this Food Revolution or to be left behind. #TheFutureofFood @GoodFoodFutures @barillagroup @QuornFoods @Danone
