This is very worrying ...
Yesterday I got arrested whilst filming a @JustStop_Oil supporter holding a banner on the pavement near the coronation route. I'm a filmmaker and had my @BECTU press accreditation visible around my neck.
Police deemed this to be "conspiracy to commit a public nuisance".
Cultivated meat has "potential" for "lower environmental impact" (agricultural land use, air pollution, nitrogen-related emissions). Carbon footprint "substantially lower" than beef. But production is energy-intensive, so using renewable energy is crucial

Next on the @BBCFoodProg we’re taking a look at the recent 🍅 🥒 & 🫑 shortage - diving deep into the supply chain & asking bigger Qns about the food system. A story featuring empty shelves, an Italian energy company, eggs & chickpea diversity (@BBCSounds long version).

I see this as the most important of all issues: the collapse of the Earth systems on we and all the living wonders with which we share this planet depend. It is happening in front of our eyes, and it should dominate the news everywhere, every day. theguardian.com/environment/…

1/Putin's partial mobilization order is an acknowledgment that Russia is failing to accomplish its objectives in Ukraine, I tell @IamAmnaNawaz. We discussed the impact of Putin's decision on the battlefield, its domestic implications, and the likelihood of escalation.
Putin said more manpower is needed to win a war not just against Ukraine, but against its western backers. @nataliabugayova joined @IamAmnaNawaz to discuss.

Saving food diversity is a responsibility we all share… fascinating paper in @PLOSONE about the role of gardeners across Asia in saving endangered varieties of fruits and vegetables. It’s not just down to farmers and seed banks!! journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…
