This is why it's important to keep seeds free, open-pollinated. It is vital to keep sowing and saving seeds in our gardens. Local community seed banks must flourish and know of each other to exchange, both knowledge of seeds and seeds to grow.

A place of teaching, learning, resilience and hope for a vast network of people around Europe and the world. This place simply cannot be taken away for some "financial investment efficiency" plan. Martin Crawford's work deserves respect as a long lasting legacy and vital effort for life on earth.
It's hard to believe this is happening. The Dartington Trust, here in South Devon, is behaving like Donald Trump: it seems to have no conception of the value it is destroying. This is its latest act of mindless vandalism.
What the hell is going on?

"L’agriculteur n’y fait que produire. Il n’est pas livreur, ni commerçant. La cantine vient chercher ses produits. Lui ne fait que son métier. Il est payé sur la grille de la fonction publique et ne porte ni le risque financier ni celui des aléas climatiques."

Once a "miserable piece of land".
Nothing is impossible.
It is as it says... It sounds like a very basic variation of a rustic old country soup or potage = made in a pot. It used to be the way to stack up layers of bread and cheese with bouillon or vegetable soup. Hearty country eating from times when soup was more solid than liquid. Still done today.

Entretien riche et passionant avec Alesdandro Stanzioni. Une mise en lumière d'enjeux et problématiques actuelles sous un angle nouveau. La genèse d'une spirale infernale et mondiale qui crée artificiellement et intentionnellement des guerres et des famines sous couvert de "nourrir le monde".

Les plantes boivent par les feuilles. Souvent réfuté alors qu'on reconnaît l'utilité des "fertilisants" foliaires, aspersion et mouillage des feuilles en cas de sècheresse.

We had a chat with Food Studies professor @fparasecoli.bsky.social about gastronativism (the “ideological use of food in politics to advance ideas about who belongs to a community”) and it turned into a fascinating conversation about “us”, “them”, food, politics, and systemic thinking. Have a read!

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in
"he highlighted “the need to support small farm holders who may wish to buy neighbouring farm land for farming purposes when such options arise”.
Deputy Smith detailed that “non-farming interests” could include “large-scale businesses” in this instance."

I meant "no-nonsense" of course! 🫣 shame on me for this ugly typo
Tanguy's gardening and beekeeping skills are rooted in nonsense "French style" natural techniques where mixing and interplanting a wide range of varieties in "non neat" growing areas is central. So-called "jardin de curé", an adaptable, joyful and productive mess.
