Groundswell and regenerative agriculture win the innovation award at BBC Food and Farming Awards #foodandfarming

Oh yes! Congratulations Groundswell - SO well deserved. Big love to you all! #BBCFoodAwards

Groundswell very proud to win award at BBC Food & Farming Awards in Glasgow. So many fantastic other nominees and winners including Andrew Howard Farmer Tom 🧢 🇺🇦 - inspiring to see innovative people and organisations getting recognition in the sector, thank you The Food Programme

Delighted that Groundswell won the Food Innovation award at BBC Food and Farming Awards last night, we were nominated alongside two fantastic businesses; The Wonki Collective and Câr-Y-Môr . Thanks Dan Saladino for the nomination!

Asking farmers to diversify to subsidise food production, is 1) tone deaf, most of us did years ago 2) an admission that you’ve allowed a broken system to emerge And 3) an admission that you haven’t the courage or vision to fix any of the real issues

But also really F dumb Because we want farmers to do a heap of non market rewarded stuff like nature restoration We also need them to have the capital/cashflowing ability and time to do that nature restoration The politics of farming and food in the U.K. are pathetic

A reminder that session applications for Groundswell 2025 close at the end of January, if you have an idea brewing, please submit in good time! groundswellag.com/session-applic…

Why the DEFRA food committee almost entirely exclude British farmers but include ultra processed food manufacturers and a sugar producer? Several are not even British companies! Sofina and McCain are Canadian, Greencore and Kerry are Irish, and Bidcorp is South African.

Of course farms do need to be profitable… but show us you care about that by fixing the fundamentals and delivering government’s part of the equation We’ve got our hands tied behind our backs and have been thrown in a shark tank Don’t lecture us on how to swim

Still one of the best things on the internet
