First we went to the @ORFC talk on the role farmers can play in slowing the flow, then we lived the experience of what life is like when it doesn't happen. Hurrah for the hardy @Riverford field team, rental car rescued.

Cry. Cry the cry. Cry on regular as needed. Just as our hearts lightens through crying, our collective grief and injury is witnessed and lightens to move with it.

When we cry, we affirm something’s worth. This here matters. It is dignifying

Tell me farmers are interested in resilient, agroecological systems and monitoring without telling me.

It's really sobering to get closer to net zero policy. It's so clear we're not being *remotely* radical enough. e.g. 30,000 annual heat pump installations when the govt wants 600,000. We're nowhere near. The problem isn't just the policies, it's the methods we're using. 🧵

Any good policy reads out there about the diffusion of new tech?

@shannonmattern Long term land bank it, i’m guessing

[Níall Glynn @NiallGlynn]

Got it in one. My constant gripe with a lot of the policy space, although their hearts are in the right place, is that 95% don't understand the scale of change we need.
