I spoke to The Guardian about the challenges many are experiencing in UK farming due to heavy rainfall. It's becoming difficult to plant crops such as potatoes & salads on time. We need to consider new strategies to cope with the changing climate. 👇 theguardian.com/environment/20…
In 2 hours time I’ve got to explain to these guys that our landlord fancied cattle, not sheep on his farm so he’s taken our base farm tenancy away from us. 1100ac. 7 months of uncertainty & suffering, now many more. They’ll be a lot of tears in our household for a while. I failed
Is the farming industry turning a blind eye to the impact of manure on water quality? 🤔 The stats are clear. It's time for supply chains to acknowledge how low prices for farmers leave little for investment in environmental protection & slurry management🌊theguardian.com/environment/20…
👇Farmers are receiving low prices for the food they produce. It leaves them with little 💷 to invest in infrastructure that would improve their environmental impacts. Supply chains & supper markets are making record profits. Something isn’t working right for farmers ⚖️💷
British milk - £1.06 a litre Water - £1.20 a litre Whole chicken - £3.22 Cup of coffee - £3.36 Food can’t be sustainably produced for these prices. theguardian.com/environment/20…
If you need help identifying farmers, then the @FFC_Commission has a great list available. Or ask me! Or just put a general call out on social media. Please don't make crap excuses that 'no one came even though you advertised it'. 2/2
Agri-Food Academia: If you hold a conference about food and farming, you MUST make sure farmers and growers are in the room. And don't charge them stupid fees to come, they need to be in the room and actively participating in your work and not just as research subjects. 1/2
#FactFriday Did you know sheep can self-medicate? Sheep often use plants and other substances that otherwise hold no nutritional value to prevent or treat illness. They even teach their lambs to do the same!🐑🌱

George doesn’t understant that the carbon cycle IS A CYCLE. It’s absolutely fine for C to be cycling, that’s what it does. In a healthy ecosystem CYCLING is what nutrients do…the only reason there is so much focus on storage is to offset long lasting fossil fuels emissions.
1. This week’s column is about something we badly want to believe, regardless of the evidence: that livestock farms are benign and harmonious. Why? Mostly, I think, because it chimes with books and cartoons we see as very young children. theguardian.com/commentisfree/… Also: a thread
Just met a young man who took us up on the offer of free dry cleaning for his interview clothes…and got the job!
Earlier this week, in a parliamentary debate, I urged the government to take stronger action on minimising food waste and increasing food security.
