A great morning at @OnslowStAudreys careers fair, @Riley_Hickmann answering student's questions about getting into science, food, and agricultural research!

@LoddingtonFarm “We want to rebuild the relationship between the consumer and the soil”

[Riley Hickman @Riley_Hickmann]

Great to be @UniKent for the Eastern Arc Conference @TheEasternARC with my @UKFS_CDT cohort mates @LauraLaneUK to engage with food in a time of crisis

[Riley Hickman @Riley_Hickmann]

@LoddingtonFarm In response to a question about the future of supermarkets James commented that he wants his customers to self certify his products, by seeing the chickens, seeing the produce, and interacting and engaging with their food where it is produced.

@RobBarker kicking things off with a keynote highlighting health inequalities in the food system and the need to address dual health and environmental issue simultaneously

[Food & Farming Futures @FarmingFutures]

“The initial results suggest that it takes time for regen approaches to restore the health of soils and the ecosystem and there may be a decrease in yields as the system transitions to a more sustainable state,”

@Rothamsted new long term experiments

What do the public really want from our food system?

For starters 👩‍🍳🍵 - Human and environmental health, fair distribution of profit - and importantly, government action to enable people to make #goodfood choices

More to come from #TheFoodConversation @FFC_Commission

[Rothamsted Research @Rothamsted]

"An analysis of 30 long-running farm experiments conducted by the UK’s Rothamsted Research suggests practices such as growing a more diverse range of crops and adding organic matter can reduce chemical fertiliser use, while still delivering high yields" https://t.co/Ch1Tct6yKi

On my way home from the @UKFS_CDT #FoodSystems symposium in London, as I placed my @Groundswellaguk water bottle down, none other than Paul Cherry taps my shoulder to say hello! Little farming fan boy moment 🤩

[Riley Hickman @Riley_Hickmann]

Mapping food systems research with @UKFS_CDT cohort members! Covering topics across the system! 🥕🥖🥩🌾

[Rebecca Wells @wellsrebecca]

Fantastic to see the first and second cohort coming together - and the amazing progress all the students have made!

[Riley Hickman @Riley_Hickmann]

@sartorialfoodie beat me to it but lovely to see my entire program here at @ucl for the first time all in person! Talking #FoodSystems and planning PhD proposals. Excited to dig into my project with @Simon_Willcock @Rothamsted with @UKFS_CDT

[Dr Christian Reynolds @sartorialfoodie]

Brilliant being at the @UKFS_CDT summer schools. Great to see all the cohort 1 & 2 students. Such a magic atmosphere! @NRInstitute @FoodPolicyCity @ucl @RoyalVetCollege @Bruneluni @SussexUni @AberUni

Gaying up the Big K! This should be fab, much queer mushroom content too
