🌍️EARTH DAY🌍️ Ain't it peculiar that we have an Earth Day, considering we spend all of our time here? It feeds us? It keeps us alive? We owe it to our existence? We should be showering it with love and affection, not killing it at the rate of knots. #biodiversity

Right then, what was your moment of the Tik Tok Women’s Six Nations? 👀 Doesn’t have to be player based, could be as simple as running into a mate at the stadium! 🤝🏽 I wanna hear about it ⬇️

Tom Wright Quite bloody right How'd our native ecology contain so many pasture/meadow/scrub species if its natural state is wall to wall woodland? How'd we have so many native inverts that rely on ancient trees? (Which you don't tend to find in closed canopy woodland) Graph Plantlife

Absolutely ridiculous take Ben He massively worsened the trading relationship for British farmers - dismantled the old (yes, flawed) systems before creating a new one - encouraging agricultural intensification which is the biggest driver of nature decline in Britain

This took me a long time to write but it was worth it.. Jake Fiennes is one of the leading communicators in food/farming & our conversation took many turns (from rewilding, market forces, Monbiot and offsets) like all the best ones do. Via Wicked Leeks wickedleeks.riverford.co.uk/features/bridg…

A short thread on exclusion in landscape decisions and narratives that feels (but almost certainly is not) deliberate. It’s something that plays into the polarising chat about us v them & ‘bad farmers vs nature’ & is a odd ignoring of lived experience in a changing landscape ⬇️
