Are you a farmer? In October we published a study identifying scenarios for civil unrest arising from food shortages which we wrote about here: theconversation.com/climate-……. #farmer Now we want to hear farmers' views to add real depth - survey here: app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk…

Climate change could lead to food-related civil unrest in UK within 50 years, say experts

Our study shows the UK must prepare for, and respond to, the risks associated with future food shortages.

Farming can also be a very isolating and lonely occupation, with farmers often spending long hours out in the field with little or no form of social interaction.

Farmers are regularly forced to deal with issues on the farm that are beyond their control, such as animal disease, volatile input and market prices and extreme weather.

Specifically, we're supporting mental health in farming in partnership with @FCNcharity. Why? We see on a daily basis the wonderful work that farmers do. Farming is not just a job – it’s a way of life. It is a wonderful industry, but it can also be inherently risky and volatile.

Ask people what they think about food, and they tell you what kind of country they want to live in. Across political divides, citizens want a fairer, healthier, greener Britain. #TheFoodConversation #Lab23 @wesstreeting @ShabanaMahmood @IanByrneMP ffcc.co.uk/so-what-do-we-rea…

Farmers: does it matter how you get paid for #carbon? Rich debate but still plenty of confusion about how carbon payments can benefit farmers @oxfordfarming @ORFC Important to understand the difference between insetting and offsetting! youtu.be/8VodGNe6PRo #OFC23 #ORFC23
