From the #GrantchesterMeadows swimming ban, to erecting fences on #PrimroseHill - the policing of common spaces over lockdowns and beyond reflects a broader & more insidious privatisation of our public spaces... Thanks for commissioning @tribunemagazine

Please see new working paper by our PhD researcher Doi Ra in which she argues against reducing a landscape into a single dimensional issue. Using case study from Myanmar, she argues for going beyond environmentalism, beyond agrarian and local politics. https://t.co/vlUYQURkAM

"I was wholly unaware of the tactics these companies used to persuade #farmers that their own #seed was inferior to the new hybrid seed that they could offer them, or about how they patented #indigenous seeds" @wickedleeksmag

How are seeds at the centre of the struggle against enclosure? I interviewed @_almendrina for our series on enclosure and commoning @future_natures
We focus on agri-capitalism in Argentina, the appropriation of biocultural biodiversity & combining farmer's knowledge with art 🌾🖌️

[Anoushka Zoob @AnoushkaZoob]

Who gets to be on the land to grow food has long been determined by narrow logics of enclosure. In this article I ask how groups of people organise themselves on and with the land outside of the lens, language, and relations @AgrarianTrust @KulturlandeG https://t.co/2ar9UWrilc
