can't wait to see @sixinchesofsoil film popping up everywhere. I think you can just get in tough with them to organise a screening. #ORFC2024
We had so much wonderful feedback at our first UK #filmscreening @ORFC last night. Here’s Angela Wakefield sharing her thoughts and feelings about the film. Thanks so much to Angela 💚💚

What does it say about power when adults with power put children last? This is the result of both deliberately designed policy and poorly designed policy. What would happen if we put the #childrensfire at the centre of all our decision-making?

Long-term food security depends on nature & climate recovery, not ever cheaper food.
Voters don't want this either. They want a gov who will act to ensure healthy, sustainable & fairly produced food is accessible to everyone.

Only government can be surprised - when farmers used less chemical fertiliser, crop yields rose! Nitrate fertiliser is a pollutant. First made in bomb factories, the US unleashed it to disrupt sustainable farming everywhere. Is 'green revolution' the greatest scam of all time?
