For #WorldEnvironmentDay, I shared with @FarmersGuideUK how nature is the backbone of farming. Healthy soil biology and pollinators not only cut costs but make farming more sustainable. By valuing nature, we can unlock its full potential for our farms. 🌿🌍👇

Very interesting thread here explaining why our fruit self sufficiency seems low- arguably with some justification (we eat a lot of grapes and bananas) and some potential over-claim (should cider apples be classed as a fruit in this context...). Thanks @tommlancaster

Brilliant start to Sustainable Food Systems from @sallyuren @Forum4theFuture Beware False choices! Insistence on having the perfect data before taking action resonates. E.g. we know what we need to do to reverse #biodiversity loss on uk farms

It's always great when we spot our members being highlighted in the media. The Mee Family, making a fantastic appearance in the Harvest episodes of @BBCCountryfile, and Stewart, from G's Fresh, discussing the importance of farmland conservation & good policy in the RSPB Magazine.
