The right to buy council houses cheaply and not replace the stock is the quintessential, disastrous example of putting the “I” before the “we”. The next in the mini-series to accompany the publication in paperback of “This Time No Mistakes” this week. Hope you are enjoying them!

@bbcfood asks food experts how changing our diets can help protect #nature.

Civil food resilience perhaps requires us to think ‘we, we, we’ not ‘me, me, me’.
Join us for our #FoodThinkers on Thurs 22 Feb when @ProfTimLang will be talking about significant positive changes we can make to create more resilient #FoodSystems.

UK sugar supply is 2.5 TIMES the recommended safe amount. This is severely harming our health🦷and our soils🌱
The UK government must oppose an increase in the tariff free quota for sugar imports, which would see even greater sugar supply to the UK.

Are we prepared for food shortages in the UK? Might they cause civil unrest? Why? We asked 58 food experts and found that 80% of them think civil unrest could happen in next 50 years and, if from food, 57% thought due to insufficient food in the UK

Great graphic by @jburnmurdoch. In other words, Britain is a poor country, with 1 moderately wealthy region.

ALT Food security matters to us all, but the government is not taking this seriously enough. This report calls for more attention to be paid to the supply of good quality food, at prices which suit both producers and consumers Sir Robert Goodwill, Chair Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee

For those who don’t read the Sunday Telegraph, there are further attacks on @NaturalEngland in there today with calls for the organisation to be disbanded. The reason is because we are doing our job, implementing laws & Government policy for Nature recovery. Funny old world.
