Our arid land (and how to make it green)

Our everyday foods are now toxic. How did we allow this to happen? And how do we make them wholesome again? Time to reclaim real farming and real food

Inspired by this amazing small farm in West Somerset. No chemical fertiliser or pesticides- all done with compost making rich fertile soils. All food should be grown this way - just like it used to be.

Why did Evan Davis on the BBC’s PM programme cut off the US Green Party campaigner who warned that Biden was taking us into nuclear war with Russia?

What to do if you can’t decide whether to grow wheat or rye .. grow both together. Awesome results so far, great root associations and minimal PPPs used The client just has to harvest them next 🤔

Real #COP28 failure was excluding #agriculture Transitioning from fossil fuels would have made farmers cut N fertiliser, build soil carbon, cool the planet and boost nature @ClimateReality The only C capture that works #nature Agribiz lobby wins again. We all lose @NFFNUK

Here's my evidence - a rational, reasoned way of feeding Britain (and the world) without synthetic chemicals @COP28_UAE May be inconvenient for some industrial farmers but this doesn't make it untrue. It's validated by many science studies including 2008 IAASTD buried by US govt.

Here's the world-wide study neither the US nor UK governments wanted you to see. The biggest ever study of farming technology involving 400 scientists globally Concluded current chemical methods were unsustainable - destroying soils and water Recommended ecological farming

No surprise pesticide, chemical fertiliser & animal factory lobbies took big teams to @COP28_UAE Agribusiness hijacked farming in the mythical 'green revolution' Now more powerful than government, they kill wildlife, contaminate food, heat our planet @EmaanzT Who will stop them?

Replying to @supercarbon @cop28 @COP28_UAE
Why doesn't anybody read Prof. Montgomery's book:"Dirt"? How can we expect to ensure our food security with pesticides and monocultures? The soil ecosystem is being destroyed by this. Soil has been formed over millions of years; we destroy it in just a few years. Rights of Nature
