It is possible to grow food that’s better for us & better for our planet. We’re planning to do just that with #regenerativeagriculture 📸 credit: @davidclode
We are a regenerative agrifood startup and we are fundraising.
This is an investment opportunity that will support the application of #regenerativeagriculture at scale in the UK, proving its social, economic and ecological benefits.
“We often hear that in response to the climate crisis, we need to make sacrifices. But this framing is flawed. We must find joy in nurturing what is around us.Fulfilment should come from quality, not quantity, and from nature, not new things”

UK dictionaries exclude humans from their definitions of nature. But language matters & if we want to repair our relationship with nature - we also need to redefine it & recognise that #WeAreNature. Join the campaign and sign the petition here: https://t.co/5w9tFjVaW4
The only thing reliably growing is the threat to our food supply chain
Ward, British Growers Association, CEO: “There is a concern that we won’t ever have the volumes [of potatoes] we had in the past in the future.”

“thriving living soil around the world is being turned to dead, lifeless dirt…. We lose an estimated 30 soccer fields of productive soil every minute due to degradation from agrichemicals, tillage, machinery, and erosion”. #regenerativeagriculture

Agricultural pesticides sold to farmers ready-mixed into "cocktails" can kill twice as many bees, according to an analysis of 90 studies. (But some good news here too, about bees adaptability) #regenerativeagriculture https://t.co/8jrzguddmc
Best places to ride out global societal collapse? “Far-flung island nations w/mild weather, low per-cap populations well spread out, which have stable ag sectors & ability to harness renewable energy, scored well” Sad this info increasingly relevant https://t.co/bC4XecVxbn
Rising UK temperatures remind us that we're living through a climate emergency, and that we urgently need a serious climate-nature strategy.
That's why today, @CarolineLucas is tabling a strengthened, cross-party #CEEbill.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there @suepritch & hope to catch both panels. Kirsty from our team is talking about ‘The Role of Finance in the Regenerative Transition’ in Old Dairy/ 4pm Wed. Lots of great content to look forward to @Groundswellaguk#regenerativeagriculture
What can we do to improve veg uptake?
We think:
🍅Growing veg in schools helps make it interesting for pupils.
🥕Adding veg into cakes and blitzing it into sauces works well.
🤩Sugarsnap peas have been a hit with young kids as a snack.
Please share your ideas💡
Kids are eating less veg, parents are buying less veg, the diversity of fresh veg is under threat in supermarkets, the UK’s food resilience is lowest with fresh fruit & veg - we only produce 23% of what we consume….there is SO MUCH to do, it’s a public & ecological health issue
New Veg Facts 2021 report published by @PeasPleaseUK It finds that one third of children aged 5-10 years eat less than one portion of veg a day. This highlights that there is still so much work to do to increase veg consumption. https://t.co/3JOU1pXlNb
Two weeks from today we will be @Groundswellaguk hanging out with @3LM_HM having just participated in a panel with @KoenvanSeijen on ‘The Role of Finance in the Regenerative Transition’. Want to meet up? DM us, we’re excited to be out mingling…
