The global economy threatens 20%-50% of species with extinction by 2050. Global use of materials is outpacing population growth: 1972: 29 billion tonnes 2000: 55 billion tonnes 2019: 100 billion tonnes 2050: 184 billion tonnes It's the *system* that's killing everything.🧵

See similar effects in many farming sectors, certainly plays an important part in the upland farming communities I research

That’s absolutely the point. We already have farming communities delivering landscape scale management which is held together by long established socio-cultural connections. Just feel they are better placed to deliver long term sustainable nature recovery landscapes

Interesting article, highlights the limiting effects of current landownership and land costs to the adoption of Agri-ecological farming whilst introducing some models to overcome these obstacles vittles.substack.com/p/who-is-the-f…

Really engaging essay, well worth a look. Can thinking with fermentation produce new ways of being? Fermentation as an act of resistance? Some really interesting developments on the ideas of Tsing and Harraway newsocialist.org.uk/kitchen-cultur…

Interesting report here on how farming might address rising input costs and enhance nature "Nature means business - establishing the balance between food production and improving nature". nffn.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

I guess broadly encouraging but why its left up to 'charity' to provide farming eduction, whilst government policy is pushing out those who already have these skills I'm not quite sure? theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/f…

My take on todays #IPCC report is we are going to see massive societal change. Either chosen and enacted by us in a positive effort to adapt and mitigate OR enforced on us by the collapse of ecoystems brought on by uncontrolled climate change. I know which I favour #degrowth

The top map shows which nations are most responsible for excess emissions. The bottom map shows which nations are most impacted by it. If we are not attentive to the colonial dimensions of climate breakdown, we are missing the point.

Time is running out for our peatlands. Tragically these beautiful places are exploited as peat is extracted and stuck in compost bags. But it doesn't need to be this way! Today you can demand the Government end this heartbreaking destruction! 😡📣 action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/98699/act…

I know the Cuban model isn't easily translatable to UK but I like the sound of: "Cuba’s transformation to agroecology... has dramatically reduced its ecological footprint, improving environmental health, increasing resilience to climate change," newsocialist.org.uk/agroecology-an…
