A new study claims that global agriculture could become carbon-negative by 2050, removing more CO2 than it emits. The study explores various scenarios of dietary change and technological innovation that could achieve this goal. This would require a radical food system transformation involving all actors and sectors.

Concerns about continue to rise & certainly in the UK we have a geared to their delivery into the family home...

Part of the issue is supply, part is the question of education about , but perhaps the biggest problem is the current system is structured to privilege the interests of the food industry mega-corps not the consumer... in other words 'healthy profits' are seen by Govt. as more important than healthy people

Yes, this is not merely compromised by the Supermarkets, you are right to identify land ownership as another significant issue... although here the issue might be be around the Q. of leases on farm land which offers a possible avenue for food-positive regulation?

The dominance of is storing up severe problems in the UK's :

'The lack of small, independent food growers, producers & retailers leaves us ever more dependent on supermarkets & their self-interest... Our food system must be redesigned to put resilience & meeting people’s needs before profit for the few'!

While hardly a new diagnosis of our problems, here Andrew Simms makes a clear argument for why we need (radical) change & fast!

Ah yes, the good old strategy of unconditional surrender to the wishes of the biggest industry of the day.

Steve & Ben spend a day a week knocking doors on their estate offering to plant free fruit trees in folks' gardens. Today, they are out with fruit bushes looking for new homes.

They've had a brilliant response, and it's opened up many wonderful connections and conversations about traditional food crops amongst their diverse community.

Residents will have fresh fruit on their doorstep at zero cost. The group also offer workshops in thrifty growing and caring for fruit trees.

It's a direct response to the that also improves climate & biodiversity.

Here's what Steve says: "The most direct way of addressing food poverty is getting together with friends, family and community and growing it. It's surprisingly easy, it starts with a conversation over a brew. Be that person who puts the kettle on and invites folk round." ❤️

Delighted we could support Community Roots Permaculture Project with a Transition Together seed-funding grant, supported by @tnlcommunityfund.

Our food system is wildly unsustainable, cruel to animals, and outright abusive and exploitative to many (most?) of the people who produce the food. I love being able to contribute to this timely and important research, working with smart and principled thinkers like Aaron Atteridge, author of this report. Skip the blog and go straight to the report -- it has a nice, succinct executive summary with helpful graphics.

1 BILLION people out of 8 billion people are obese.

Currently 1 in 8 people.
Likely 1 in 4 by 2035.

Today is world obesity day. It is time now to cut marketing for ultra-processed foods. It happened with tobacco. UPFs are addictive and toxic. This industry is killing people and needs regulation.
