🚨Webinar tomorrow - spaces running low: tinyurl.com/4bddrwny 🍏What happens when citizens are given a seat at the table when it comes to influencing policy? 🍽️Join us to explore a new report from the Citizen Advisory Council, who have been working with Defra on the Good Food Cycle.

Hmmmm 🤔

Congratulations @andyburnham.bsky.social People have chosen a politics of hope and connection over hate and division, wanting real progress on things that matter to them in their everyday lives. Govt on their side in a turbulent world, prosperity shared, communities thriving and fit for the future

🗣️“How does power work in the system, and what can we do to shift it in favour of a fairer, greener and healthier future?” ✨FFCC Chief Exec @suepritch.bsky.social is giving the keynote speech for Food Systems Track at @theconduitlondon.bsky.social Climate and the Future of Health 2026 conference.

Although it’s been said before, I wrote this now because the food industry is telling government it can only help with food price inflation if govt lets it off the “regulatory burden”. By which they mean fairer pay, healthier food, reducing waste. Never let a good crisis go to waste, eh…?

Excellent episode of #TheFoodProgramme here. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

🚀With food prices rocketing, unpredictable weather & geopolitical instability continuing to disrupt harvests, food and farming are starting to matter in British politics. Our Chief Exec @suepritch.bsky.social asks in @theobserveruk.bsky.social: will politicians meet this moment? tinyurl.com/wyjjfbyz

Baroness Helena Kennedy @hayfestival.bsky.social talking chillingly on ‘Impunity’ - how the rich and the powerful get away - literally - with murder. In awe of women like Helena who step into those spaces to hold them to account

Inspiring, moving and joyful in equal measure @kateraworth.bsky.social and sister Sophie Raworth on stage at @hayfestival.bsky.social

I’d go further. We need electoral reform now. The (new?) PM should establish a citizens assembly on voting reform in 2027 If there is convincing support, use the labour majority to legislate for the 2029 election. www.thetimes.com/article/16d6...

How we make good decisions about the UK’s precious land - for now and our long term futures - is becoming more and more consequential by the month. Join us in this important conversation. 👇🏼

Our Chief Exec @suepritch.bsky.social responds to a major new report from @thecccuk.bsky.social: "The Climate Change Committee’s report is a sobering read. We are shooting past 1.5 degrees, and now planning for two degrees of warming by 2050 and four by 2100.... [cont.d]

Last night, at the launch of @thecccuk.bsky.social sobering yet practical report, A Well Adapted UK, one moment stood out for me. This - the women leading this critical work…

This whole thing is everything 👇🏼💥

Very much looking forward to this

📢 It’s time to cut the chemicals from our food and fields ✍️ PETITION - soilassociation.co/cutthechemsb... In the UK, just before harvest, some crops are sprayed with glyphosate to dry them out. It helps meet food system demands for speed and uniformity, letting farmers plan harvests in advance

In a nutshell from Guy at Riverford. “Most of UK farming is trapped in a cash starved extractive loop that destroys soil and ecosystems while leaving our country’s food supply vulnerable to an increasingly unstable world”

What if.. we bring the same ambition and courage to the food crisis as we have to the energy transition?

🗣️”Let's talk about the winners in the system at the moment, because some of them are absolutely invisible to most of us” 🍓FFCC’s Chief Exec @suepritch.bsky.social joined the Wilder Podcast to unpack big questions about the food system. Listen here: ffcc.co.uk/conversation...

“These realities highlight why we need to loosen the grip of hydrocarbons on our food system”. > giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

My periodic reminder for when people get huffy about “subsidising” farmers with payments for public goods, industries are benefiting from public money to do bad things. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

📚 New research out today ‘Potential Pathways and Solutions to Acute Food System Crisis in the UK’, examines how a serious food crisis could happen in the UK, and what can be done to stop it. Read in full here: www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/18...

Exactly. And this is part of a growing pattern. People *want* to be able to trust businesses and institutions that shape their lives. It’s about more than food. But let’s start with fixing food.

In better news, 👇 UK is getting on with providing a more secure, affordable and resilient future
