Feeling extremely lucky to have snatched this field of oats for @organicarable and @WhitesOats after missing the deluge yesterday - even so it’s ploughed up wet enough but feels like last chances already. Hard to imagine we’ll be back in here before April! #organic

The 2nd @ifoamorganics principle is #Ecology.
Our work at @wakelyns demonstrates this principle in practice. Resilience through diversity. @AGROMIXproject ow.ly/iExf50Th92x

1/2 👏The ENVI Committee has overwhelmingly rejected the @EU_Commission's contradictory decision to allow residues of EU-banned #pesticides in some imported products, such as citrus fruit and cereals while prohibiting them in others.

Liveoat organic spring oat trial for @organicarable and @WhitesOats in the bag - great to be a part of such positive participatory research and food supply chain

The last dribble of #harvest24 is in the trailer and it’s been generally as miserable as expected - it’s all about 2025 now with a new cropping plan which will hopefully make us less vulnerable to our changing climate. Good luck to everyone still at it!

Yes .
For #PublicHealth, for #Biodiversity - and ending this wholly unnecessary #Pesticide use is a small overall step to cutting down the burdens on our #PoisonedPlanet

This research can help us all become more aware & to open dialogues.
The argument isn’t ‘either organic or regen’.
Trust & transparency are multi-layered & complex values intrinsic to a positive food system.
A clear picture of ecological systems & economic imperatives is vital 👀
Making the benefits of different types of farming plain for the public could provide better protection for the UK countryside.
A new study led by @UniofReading says greater education about sustainable agriculture is needed in order to support farmers.

After the riots, Keir Starmer should tell us the truth about our country. This is what he should say, and why he won't say it.

"Global industrial food chains and ultra processed foods are not feeding the world, they’re starving it. Our food systems must become more localised and more resilient."
The report urges governments to reinvest in local and regional supply infrastructure!
🚩NEW REPORT!
#FoodFromSomewhere highlights the need for #resilient local markets & food chains to combat the global #hunger crisis.
While corporate food chains create crisis, 'territorial markets' deliver food access, healthy diets & community cohesion.

So if washing doesn't keep pesticides (aka chemicals designed to kill living organisms) out of your food/body what does? Well that would be buying organic, look for @SoilAssociation or @ofgorganic label. theguardian.com/environment/…

For every acre of #organic cereals there will be at least 1/3 acre of flower rich ley supporting pollinators. No herbicides means the cereals crop has flowering plants within the crop again feeding insects. No other farming system supports pollinators as #organic does.
Totally agree Dave, including the ‘buy organic food’ bit - organic demand directly leads to more pesticide free farmland where nature has a home alongside nutritious food production rather than being excluded from it #chooseorganic
