☀️New blog alert 🚨
Happy weekend! We have a new blog post up from Tania & Lily, discussing child food insecurity in the UK.
Pre -and post- Covid research suggests that food insecurity in children often remains unsolved due to a lack of long-term vision and policy-making 1/2
So how are children living in food insecure households impacts; why is access to green space and nature relevant, and what are potential solutions to these issues? Read the full blog here 👉🏼 rootingforjustice.co.uk/chil… 2/2

Absolutely brilliant work being carried out by @refactyork and @YSJSustain - we can’t wait to work with them on the Northfield Allotments soon!
A GGS project on BBC Look North yesterday!
@hannahspring101 and @Fiona_Howlett's excellent community allotment for refugees project, a collaboration between the occupational therapy programme at York St John University and @refactyork.

Do you work with #agroecology? Do you try out new things with stakeholders such as farmers or communities? Do you conduct experiments in real conditions (farms, production systems, communities)? Want to be part of an emerging network of EU #livinglabs? Pls get in touch! & re-twt

We’ve spent a lovely morning with Edible York selling seedlings! You can also find us tomorrow from 1-3pm working with students at Heslington West. Feel free to drop us a message for directions!
WE’VE MOVED IN! Thanks to the support of the York gardening society, we’ll be sharing land and getting seedlings into the ground! More to follow, but for now, if you fancy dropping by, you can find Lily here every Sunday from 1-3pm...just drop us a message if you want to join!
We know environmentalists can often take #davidattenborough's words as gospel, and so this pictorial thread is dedicated to unpacking his recent comments which problematically build upon the popular #climatemyth that when humans are put into nature, they 'inevitably' degrade it
We'll be following this thread on the role of BIPOC/women in sustainable #foodproduction & #ecosystemhealth with a series on how the narrative of 'humanity is destructive' has (& still does!) justified #landgrabs. Stay tuned!
It’s Wednesday already and we want to share some of our work this week. We were delighted to host a #professionalskills session on Monday morning for #InternationalDevelopment students at @sheffieldgeog ☀️
It was reassuring to see a group of postgraduate students engaging with our work and research. After all, is the support from the local #community that reinforces we are going thru the right path. Here you have a sneak peek of our research findings 👀 #foodsecurity #geographers
