Got my performance review.

Great stuff from Edwyn Collins, 47 mins in

📃 Our team have digested another raft of the latest key reports and news on food systems and climate covering the latest on health inequalities, school meals, lobbying by food industry, a sustainability framework for farmers & much more 👉 tinyurl.com/4am62du3

Bringing our key objective into focus in a session at our #BigTent event today in the Net Zero Pathways workshop, attendees discussed how soil and agricultural systems can inform and support the development of pathways to net zero in the land use sector. #LUNZHub #LandUse #NetZero

The panels for REF2029 have been announced... 2029.ref.ac.uk/news/expert-...

I have a new column out today in The Irish Times: “Why ‘No Additional Warming’ Is a Dangerous Climate Loophole.” www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

Very good piece from @bengoldsborough.bsky.social. More of this please. www.politics.co.uk/mp-comment/2...

NEW from me: Clean energy growth helped China’s CO2 emissions fall 1% year-on-year in the first half of 2025, extending a declining trend that started in March 2024. Power sector CO2 fell 3% as growth in solar power alone matched the rise in electricity demand.

Congratulations everyone- fewer than 3000 to hit 100K. So let’s get signing #parkypetition100k petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

A new book says tech-supported industrial ag will feed the world. Agroecologists, like experts from @ipes-food.org and American Farmland Trust, would like a word. Read more in our latest by @lelanargi.bsky.social: foodprint.org/blog/a-new-b...

I am probably quite unusual in preferring to write for non-academic audiences. Love the advice 'write to be understood not admired'

How can taxpayers be confident about these biodiversity promises around large infrastructure projects ?

“After 25 years of the Scottish Parliament, 17 years of SNP Government, 2 major reviews of land reform policy and the establishment of the Scottish Land Commission …the core agenda of land reform – redistributing power over land – is essentially not much further forward than it was in 1999.”

#Groundswell2025 Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs says we need the food system to be more resilient to cope with future shocks #AFN

Looking forward to being at two sessions at Groundswell on Weds 2 July. Q: What can growers and farmers do to improve civil food resilience? A: community not just soil; feed humans not commodity markets; press politicians for more diverse systems as well as biodiversity. Grasp this nettle?

If you’ve missed perhaps the most joyous performance at this year’s Glastonbury, check out Ezra Collective here: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Two of my neighbours, who are new parents, were discussing that it's far too hot for babies. I had to keep it to myself that this may well be the coolest summer of the rest of their lives... It's 32.5°C in a central London park right now, but it reached 46°C in Spain today. istheukhotrightnow.com

In a couple of hours bluesky will count 37M users 🎉

Ezra Collective just knocked over Glastonbury Easy.

I shall be snubbing #RodStewart for his dangerous political views. I have a soft spot for Baby Jane but I shall jolly well do without

This is very exciting - some new live Only Ones video footage - Dingwalls, 1980 !! m.youtube.com/watch?v=fUD9...

That’s a good line

I find it interesting how ‘decimated’ is misused: this suggests that just 10% of Iran’s nuclear programme has been hit. Seems unlikely that’s the plan

It is remarkable that the west is committing to spending 5% of GDP on defence, and almost no one has made the case that the most pressing threat to our security this century is climate change and we should be spending more on tackling that.

Uh these are most definitely not idiosycratic drivers of inflation for the 21st century, Mr Bailey. Climate risks are the inflation megatrend of this century. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

🌞 Headed to #Groundswell25 next week? We're part of three thought-provoking sessions to explore solutions to some of the most pressing challenges facing food and farming today. Here's where you can find us... Explore the full programme here 👉 groundswellag.com/sessions/

Yesterday's progress report from the Committee on Climate Change was cautiously positive about recent woodland creation rates...

Enjoyed Department Q on Netflix. Looking forward to the next season giving Akram more attention, because he's totally the best character.

Worth a read - how to transform the food system www.planeatryalliance.com/whitepaper

Worth also noting that 1/3 of US methane emissions are from livestock production & part of the 1/6 from landfills is food waste. We recently profiled solutions to reduce agricultural methane (www.wri.org/insights/red...); also important to eat fewer animal products + more plants, & cut food waste.

We have a new paper out, in which we use brute force to identify combinations of land use/management changes which navigate the triple challenge of climate change, biodiversity conservation and food production: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #ConservationScience 🌍 @rspbscience.bsky.social 1/

Climate change is affecting food production and causing food price inflation

Not entirely sure that ‘It’s been taken out of context. Me and my husband joke with each other about the poor all the time’ is quite the best way to apologise. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Calling historical sleuths! I’m finishing a book, Peace Makers, on the men and women of the Foreign Office in WWII. In the FCDO archives, there is this 1941 photo labelled ‘Anthony Eden’s Personal Private Secretary’. My source who worked in Eden’s office from 1943 doesn’t recognise her. Who is she?
