🍏🛒 Supermarkets Say They Support British Apples, But Do They Really? 🤔🍎

Did you see @BBCCountryfile last Sunday? Andrew Opie from @the_brc said supermarkets are "fully supportive of British fresh produce." But is that the whole story?

British apple growers strongly disagree. @AliCapper from BAPL explained that shoppers are paying 17% more, but apple growers' returns have only increased 0.8%. Someone is making a profit, but it’s not UK growers.💷

The time for talk is over; it's time for action! We all love British apples, but we need to ensure a future for our growers. 🌳🇬🇧

He’s absolutely right. Cows are part of environmental sustainability. Methane from cows is part of the natural carbon cycle that after 12 years breaks down into natural CO2 and water. Grass absorbs the CO2 by photosynthesis and the cycle starts again.

You couldn’t make this up 🙄

Another day in the litany of broken promises to UK farmers & consumers on food trade.

Green light given to importation of battery-cage produced eggs, illegal in UK since 2012 on welfare grounds. Who in UK is demanding lower food standards?

The girls are agreed everyone needs a holiday but… the offer of skiing has been declined as it’s too cold 🥶however … they are really enthusiastic to do the rickshaw race 🛺 in India next year but they won’t go without Dave and Rosie 🐮

[A Buddy @buddymunro]

@Hurdlebrook @Londonfarmers I’d love to make it up to them - could I take them all on holiday, skiing perhaps?

The face of a man who realised he didn’t buy enough Guernsey raw milk to last him the week @Hurdlebrook

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Food for thought.

It’s not only me who will miss naughty Ness 🐾🐾🐾🐾 🐶 these two had a catch up every morning like clockwork!
It’s a good job we live next door 💔

[Emily Kingston @emkingston92]

@Hurdlebrook Dilys will miss her daily visit from/to see her mum 😔❤️

[Hurdlebrook @Hurdlebrook]

Tough day yesterday saying a last #farewell to my friend Ness. She will be missed by us all.
When two became one 🥲🐶

Really? 🙄

Europe's Nutri-Score ranks whole milk as a 'C' - less healthy than Coke Zero! The core competence of public health experts is to undermine their own credibility. Time to shut down 80% of university nutrition depts & divert the funds to teaching kids how to cook with real food.

If you wondered about why we can't compete...where are the trees, the hedges, the wildlife? And yet we have the third cheapest food in the world...go figure

[Andrew Robinson @AW_ARobinson]

So @BBCNews running the story surprise shortage in veg increased inflation . No surprise to many of us, there will be further shortages if farmers and growers not paid fair price to cover input and energy costs . #backbritishfarming

Salad that ran short because of some weather recently is grown on heavily irrigated, plastic covered, semi arid land. Pastoralism dominated there BECAUSE water was scarce. Feeding rich vegans out of season veg from poor people’s water doesn’t seem to be sustainable @GeorgeMonbiot

Telling comment from an outgoing retail apple producer - that supermarkets want orchards to act like ball bearing factories, producing a visually homogenous product & telling consumers that’s what they want from their food - not taste or sustainability.

Politicians and supermarkets say farmers are profiteering… the evidence shows the exact opposite

[Hurdlebrook @Hurdlebrook]

Well said everyone needs to here this!

Yesterday, I spoke in a debate about food poverty.

I highlighted the vital role of farmers in producing the food we eat.

Sadly we have a Conservative Government hellbent on undermining farmers and driving them out of business - a disaster for food production and also nature.
