Seeing land as just ‘investment’ or ‘asset for housing’ ignores ecology and is short-sighted about where UK AgriFood politics & security ought to head. UK is a rich if declining power, so snubbing neighbours (French subs) and squandering long-term food capacity is risky politics!

@Tees_Issues Obviously wild flowers are fantastic for bees and other pollinating insects. If anyone is keeping bees (and harvesting honey) or is interested in doing so, please let us know. 🐝
