@MitsubishiUK A step in the right direction @MitsubishiUK but are you still handing the money over...??? Saying you don't want to be associated is one thing, taking action & having courage in your convictions is another..

@DavidButler34 @MitsubishiUK Well the new pick-up certainly wont be a new #L200 after seeing this - have you lost your marbles #MitsubishiMotors @MitsubishiUK ?

@farmerThomo I'd have to agree!!🤣🤣

Comparing beef burgers with veggie burgers:

✅ Decreased Fat slightly
⛔ Five time increase in sodium
⛔ Salt & Processed food increase world disease burden the most

.@HenryDimbleby closes his speech at #OFC with “When we faced the last crisis in our food system, our heroes were the farmers who led the way. I believe, and trust, you will do so again.”

[Mark Tucker @MrAgrologist]

Great to hear MP Theresa Villiers state that @DefraGovUK will be driven by the science when it comes to risk - the next question is who’s science? #ofc20

Silver bullets aren’t the answer “There’s a whole new paradigm for agriculture” that takes old practices..as well as using new technologies. “Most GM crops prop up & exacerbates use of damaging herbicides” says @CraigBennett3 #OFC20

[Stephen Young @s_young83]

Much to agree with, Craig Bennet, friends of the earth. “Farmers have never been the problem, policy has been the problem” calling for policy which joins up the needs of food, enviro and biodiversity. Also underlining the need to ensure that imports meet our standards. #OFC20

Great question from @ProagriLtd to support E10 on biofuels.. didnt get much attention though disappointingly. Apparently this productive land should be planted with trees @CraigBennett3 but who will pay for this?? @oxfordfarming #ofc2020 #OFC20

“Food safety is political dynamite” - useful summary of key issues in the EU/UK talks ahead. #OFC20

Great presentation by @CraigBennett3 @oxfordfarming but the underlying factor which only got 30 secs airtime.. was that 'TRADE TRUMPS ALL!' 13 to 26% #tree coverage sounds great, but as they say talk is cheap whilst #food produced to a #lowerstandard is #imported #OFC2020

@GeorgeMonbiot A balanced view & understand sustainable farming & working together is the way forward. Button it? Nice way to have a balanced debate. If sustainable farming becomes extinct then the world is finished . Now that’s what I call stupidity. Now good day to you x

@SpudSlingsby @GeorgeMonbiot Had to chip in on this one Andrew as I'm fully behind you and well done for making the case and defending it. It's funny how the EA always dredged when food production was a political priority and people remembered what it was like to be hungry - we obviously dont have a clue 🤣
