[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

What does it matter what we eat?
Let's face it we love the heat.
The woke want to stop the oil
What do we want? We want to boil.

In a new blog out today, @suepritch asks who will be speaking for public value at No 10’s #FoodSummit, and how can government build a food system that works for citizens, not just shareholders?

@Rob_Percival_ Good summary. This is so painful to watch.

[SiobhanONeill @SiobhanONeill]

Many thanks to all my interviewees who helped me with great quotes and insights for my features for #PlantBasedWeek in @PSCMagazine this week. https://t.co/9TuPzQh8qv @foodstepsCO2 @Eating_Better @wfcouncil catering. Can our food choices improve our carbon footprint & save money?

[simon billing @sibilling]

Good questions on how to support new entrants into farming with land prices, supporting education of farmers, and how to collaborate across countries when there is different national policy contexts (and with the UK of the EU) #extinction2023

[simon billing @sibilling]

Inspiring to hear about the conversations already going on between communities across in Europe on tackling factory farming through to public meals. #extinction2023

[simon billing @sibilling]

Fascinating insights from @dscarpio Spain on campaigning against factory farming as a coalition. Importance of having a common target and common vision. Need to listen to each other to build trust. #extinction2023

[simon billing @sibilling]

Inspiring to hear about collaboration in Poland, Spain and Italy on food systems house. Kick off call for more young voices that are missing from Poland! . @ciwf @Eating_Better #extinction2023

[simon billing @sibilling]

@ProfTimLang Great to see this Tim

[simon billing @sibilling]

‘Labels are a niche sport’ and we need legislation to raise standards. Great talk from @HenryDimbleby at #Extinction2023 @ciwf

[Geoff Tansey @GeoffTansey]

Melissa Leach, dir @IDS_UK argues need #foodsystems transformation to avoid pandemics @CIWF_Global #Extinction2023 conference. Problems arise from political economy and trade systems, need to connect WHO's one health approach with food systems.

[simon billing @sibilling]

@dr_cscott @FFC_Commission You should be here 😀

[simon billing @sibilling]

@RSPCAChris I agree Chris but I’d add human health as well!

[Clement Metivier @clemetivier]

Key messages from the opening of the #Extinction2023 conference:

⚠️Industrial farming & big agribusinesses are driving extinction across the globe.

🌽Creating a sustainable #FoodSystem is possible - and necessary - but will require structural changes.

💪Let’s get to work !

[simon billing @sibilling]

@drvandanashiva may have just renamed the conference ‘Extinction by design’ by industrial agriculture or the ‘poison cartel’. Decades of pointing the finger at who is driving the extinction #extinction2023
