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”

So valuable, to help children understand and get excited about their place within nature, not outside it @OperationFuture #wearenature

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.

Oh yes oh yes. Integrated thinking please + recognition of how linked these issues are..#biodiversity #climatecrisis #regenerativeagriculture

"Unless the world stops treating #ClimateChange and #biodiversity collapse as separate issues, neither problem can be addressed effectively."

@catrineinhorn highlights the #BiodiversityClimateScience workshop report from @IPCC_CH and @IPBES.

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💡

[New Foundation Farms @foundationfarms]

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

[Zoe Griffiths RNutr @ZG_Nutrition]

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

Not really #regenerativeagriculture relevant - but it’s good, fun and has purpose. And we like #recycling https://t.co/FwaD7Zp4m1
