This is on TONIGHT!
Chuffed to be hosting this discussion with some great folks working with seed in cities. Hope to see some of you there 🌻

Cities matter. How we grow, distribute & eat food in cities matters.

Join us on the 17th March for an informal conversation on the importance of urban seed networks for building crop diversity.

When we think of seed sovereignty, we rarely think of urban spaces. Yet, in the nooks and crannies of cities across the UK & Ireland, growers are saving high quality seed best suited to growing food in the city.

They are spearheading A Quiet Revolution🌱

This is just another even darker attempt to strip asylum seekers of basic dignity and humanity and to do so with minimal public oversight and scrutiny. VILE

It seems to me that Priti Patel and her crew rely on hiding their treatment of refugees (under the cover of night or in hard-to-reach locations) because if we could see those dawn raids or late-night chartered flights or detention centres more clearly, we'd be disgusted.
