Some 15 years ago, the Lancashire city of Preston was characterised by empty shops and the highest suicide rate in England. How did the city council respond? By resisting privatisation and creating worker-owned co-ops to provide local services instead https://t.co/wqUz0JwgXU

“The system of seeds based on monoculture is wrong and inappropriate. The biodiverse system has produced more food, and biodiversity means that seeds must be in the hands of farmers.” @drvandanashiva #seedfreedom @SwarajAnna @occupytheseed @NavdanyaInt

[Navdanya @NavdanyaBija]

Traditional seeds have more nutrients as they are bred for nutrients. They are bred by the communities who will eat them. When industry enters the picture on seed, it has an opposite idea. @drvandanashiva #livingseed #seedfreedom @occupytheseed @NavdanyaInt @SwarajAnna

Enjoyed the first litchies of the season straight from the trees in our garden that my mother planted half a century ago .
She created a food forest in the city leaving abundant fruits for us, the birds & sometimes monkeys

Super Books! Some books carry perhaps the most exciting potential of all: the ability to change things, to inspire and create a movement. Love this piece by @njmacphee https://t.co/uSEmTYjlix via @abtmagazine

Campaigning for @ColinAllredTX in Dallas TX, I've been struck by the many citizens who feel no urge to vote. Here's a moving thread about people who died to secure that right. In the US & Canada, we need to re-establish a culture of voting @erinscafe @MichaelAnsara
