(1) Labour has won the 2024 general election and will now form a new government. Change was the word of their campaign - and change in school food is what we need to see.

From the research, to the sequencing, to the performance.
You want to know why so many people are turning away from vapid MSM and looking to political comedy & alternative news? Look no further. 👇

4/8 We used over 121 thousand hectares in 2020 for energy crops & this has continued to increase. Switching to solar means less soil disruption and lower reliance on fossil fuels. Plus, after 20 years, these lands can revert to agricultural use. 🔄🌾

John Cherry’s quote is the hit home.
“All we need is the population to demand it, and it will happen”
At the moment the population demand cheap food and this comes at the expense of the environment. The consumer leads the change. Get that in your heads please people.

British farming is at a crossroads. It’s more important than ever that farmers’ voices are heard.
Thanks @FarmersWeekly & @PhilipCaseFW for amplifying #FarmingVoices & helping to shine a light on the realities of being a farmer right now 👉 fwi.co.uk/news/farmers-m…

The single best thing you can do for the planet is to become an active participant in your local food system
Become a thoughtful farmer, grower, shopper, cook, and eater
20 years of being obsessed with food/farming/environment tells me this is IT - help shape your environment

Social media is now full of pet dogs worrying pregnant sheep or newborn lambs
Please keep your dog on a lead. It’s simple. ON A LEAD
Dogs are thinly domesticated wolves, however much you think they are a member of the family. The dog will be shot and that’s a stupid waste.

Ultra-processed foods are being disguised in supermarkets with branding saying they are 'healthy', 'low-fat' and 'high in protein'.

Average weight of a car sold today 1,600kg, in 2001 it was 1,328kg.
If you are serious about net zero start with needless weight & unused 4wd vehicles.

Turns out the Science Media Centre (who hosted a press conference casting doubt on the evidence on ultra-processed food) is funded by companies that make…
…ultra-processed food.
Superb reporting by @rebeccacoombes in the @bmj_latest (no paywall!)
