Veg in the sky? Sustainable food for everyone

Amazing to see party leaders meeting with @GretaThunberg @AnnaUKSCN @GeorgeUKSCN and @HollyWildChild to discuss the climate emergency. An empty chair for @theresa_may as the govt sadly continues not to prioritise this issue.

Replying to @ForkPod @tynewrc @Riverford
Since 2014 we have grown FREE 'organic' (no-chemicals) in our local urban park in an area of high food poverty - it is there for people to harvest and they do👍 communicipalism.blogspot.com…

Up until now, farmers and companies have felt the need to choose between profit and ecosystem integrity. Now, they don't have to. regen.network

Thrilled you liked it, thanks Louise! We are also big fans of @RandRFarmingPod. If you missed our podcast on mindfulness in farming, listen here: soundcloud.com/who-gives-a-f…

Mind over matter

Mindfulness and farming might seem an unlikely combination. But with multiple pressures and often working alone, rural communities can be a lonely place to work and mental health can suffer as a resul

Think perhaps a trip to a cricket farm is in order.. #sustainablefood #edibleinsects #futureoffood
Nina Pullman@nina_pullman21 Nov 2018
Also came across an intriguing stall making cookies from crickets! Each cookie has 30 crickets (currently sourced from Europe) ground up to make 10% of the mix. Crickets use fewer resources and offer same gram for gram protein as beef. Surely a no-brainer for sustainable eating.

Today’s papers might be focusing on Tesco / Amazon, but this decision to scrap 'best before' dates on fruit and vegetables is also hugely significant theguardian.com/environment/…

Tesco to scrap 'best before' dates from fruit and vegetable lines

Labels will be ditched from a further 116 lines of produce to help reduce food waste

Interesting line in here from produce traders at Covent Garden who voted Leave and seem to be the only ones with any optimism about impact of Brexit on food industry. Majority view seems to be ‘halted investment, shifted production, uncertainty’. Great piece by @jayrayner1.

For those who missed it at launch yesterday, here's my hefty reported piece on the impact of Brexit on the food supply chain, not just in 6 month's time but now. theguardian.com/food/2018/se…

Food and Brexit: will our cupboards be bare?

From farmers and poultry producers to professors of food policy, those on the frontline have been sounding the alarm. So how will the UK cope after 29 March 2019?

🍌 #TooCoolForPlastic update! 🍌 One of our top selling products is a bunch of bananas. To ensure none snap off & the same amount per bunch, we wrapped them in a plastic bag. That’s 10 MILLION plastic bags a yr - how bananas is that?! Another UK 1st & such a simple solution!
