Definitely have had an eye on buying AFE I’d love a OG but they’re out of my grasp at the time being.

Really interesting debate today around food politics, consumer ethics and choices - What is 'ethical'? How and why do we make certain food choices? Are alternative food networks really accessible, affordable and transparent? #gastronomy @QMUGastronomy @stanblackley

On Dec 22 2021, @Defra published its first 3-yearly Food Security Report (FSR). Today, @foodresearchuk publishes my first response: https://t.co/hl17HT9Zyi My assessment: (1) there is useful data in the FSR. It's overdue. It should be annual. But there is complacency, alas. 1/6

Thanks for the link! I think everyone would benefit from reading this. I was particularly fascinated to learn about the links between #capitalism, #colonisation, #globalization and #chauvinism.

Thanks Heather! Introduction to our #7cheapthings (and other essays) can be found here: https://t.co/3VIGEWpxwN #worldecology #capitaloceno #capitalocene

[Professor Tim Lang @ProfTimLang]

I agree with this. There’s a danger ‘sustainable’ is being stripped of all meaning and becoming so vague it loses value. I speak as one just finishing co-authoring a report on how it’s being used in international development!

“Great historical transitions occur because ‘business as usual’ no longer works. The powerful have a way of sticking to time-honored strategies even when the reality is radically changing.” (Patel and Moore, 2018)

Lots of food for thought here. #Capitalocene

#COP26 has been named the must excluding COP ever.

This is no longer a climate conference.

This is a Global North greenwash festival.

A two week celebration of business as usual and blah blah blah.
