“Farmers supplying supermarkets .... carry much of the risk and work in difficult conditions to put food on our tables, while expected to look after nature and help tackle climate change. If we want them to do all that, they need a fair deal from the supermarkets." 👏

Last week, at the annual Peter Melchett memorial lecture with the @soilassociation, our co-founder Andy was asked if he could wave a magic wand for 2023, what his wish would be?
His response: To resign monoculture to the history books.

Great piece on why food diversity matters. Thanks @finney_clare @guardian give it a read!

I wrote about some of the most endangered foods in the British Isles for @guardiang2, & why we should care about them as much as we do pandas. Thanks to @PollyRussell1 @shanehollanduk @slowfooduk & @DanSaladinoUK, who has literally written the book on this

Have to agree with this opinion piece. Whether you agree with her political decisions or not, the personal attacks female leaders endure these days are gross and unjust.

Great to have the big guy down here talking to NZ arable farmers, millers and bakers with @FARarable and @EatNewZealand - what a treat!

.@pipersfarm on putting farmers front and centre in their supply chain:
"They don’t have to get sucked into accepting that the only opportunity available is to be contracted by a supermarket where they become a price taker rather than a price maker."

An article I got involved with here in New Zealand.
The global interest in regen ag and food could be good for Aotearoa being so export focused. We have a unique opportunity under our feet and a unique story to tell.
