☀️New blog alert 🚨

Happy weekend! We have a new blog post up from Tania & Lily, discussing child food insecurity in the UK.

Pre -and post- Covid research suggests that food insecurity in children often remains unsolved due to a lack of long-term vision and policy-making 1/2

[Rooting for Justice @rooting4justice]

So how are children living in food insecure households impacts; why is access to green space and nature relevant, and what are potential solutions to these issues? Read the full blog here 👉🏼 https://t.co/ZkriM7OUMR 2/2

@EdibleYork Looks wonderful! This has given us a nice idea of how to sort some signs out for our work too, will have to pop over at some point!

[Dr Anna Krzywoszynska @Anna_K_speaking]

Do you work with #agroecology? Do you try out new things with stakeholders such as farmers or communities? Do you conduct experiments in real conditions (farms, production systems, communities)? Want to be part of an emerging network of EU #livinglabs? Pls get in touch! & re-twt

Lovely to see the Community Garden coming along on Cygnet St where they’re growing all sorts of different food...

We know environmentalists can often take #davidattenborough's words as gospel, and so this pictorial thread is dedicated to unpacking his recent comments which problematically build upon the popular #climatemyth that when humans are put into nature, they 'inevitably' degrade it

We'll be following this thread on the role of BIPOC/women in sustainable #foodproduction & #ecosystemhealth with a series on how the narrative of 'humanity is destructive' has (& still does!) justified #landgrabs. Stay tuned!
