Our food, our health & the health of our planet are all inextricably linked. Take #FoodSafety for instance: did you know that rising temperatures can threaten the production of safe food? Discover how 👇

@natalia_falagan talks about how integrating knowledge in postharvest biology can help build efficient cold chains at ‘The Hot Reality: Living in a +50°C world’, in line with her work with @ACES_cooling. Thank you minister of @EnvironmentRw (@MujaJeanne) for your support

Water is… 💧food 💧prosperity 💧energy 💧LIFE Water is the driving force that unites us all. Let’s take #WaterAction and be the change our world needs. #WorldFoodDay

Rumour has it that wasted #food 🥴 is wandering the streets and causing havoc! We've partnered with @UKTV to tackle food waste in their new #EverydaySustainability campaign 🙌 Let's save food by only buying what we need 🥕 🌽 🍓 bit.ly/_LFHW #UKTV @WRAP_UK

Water is life, water is food. What we eat & how we produce food affects water. 📢 Let's take #WaterAction for food to make sure no one is left behind! #WorldFoodDay

Our apple display is looking wonderful this morning! Over 300 varieties from our orchards on show in our Tree Shop. Come and have a look - we are having an Apple Day on Saturday 21st October #apple #appledisplay #appleday #AppleEvent2023 #frankpmattews #treeshop

Increasing food production using less water is one of the great challenges of our times. We need to make water use in agriculture more efficient, productive & environmentally friendly. This #WorldFoodDay and every day, remember: 💦Every. 💦#WaterAction. 💦Counts.

We just sent out our October Newsletter to our members! If you would like to sign up to be a port of our community make sure to do it over at foodlossnetwork.com

Healthy soils mean healthy, safe & nutritious food. In fact, soil health & fertility have a direct influence on the nutrient content of food crops 🌱 Let's take #SoilAction!
