Opinion | Why Did Elon Musk Go After Bunkers Full of Seeds? Gene banks are like a survivalist cache: our nation’s safeguard against all future challenges to growing the food we need.

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.

INSOLITE. Comme le champagne mais sans raisin, le vin de rhubarbe pétillant trouve son public Depuis 2018, le domaine du Cour Rheoum s'est mis en tête de proposer aux grand public comme aux plus grands chefs des boissons alcoolisées et pétillantes évoquant du vin de rhubarbe mais aussi des jus...

"On utilise la même méthode de production que dans le champagne, qui s'appelle la méthode traditionnelle."

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.

Save the Dartington Forest Garden - The Agroforestry Research Trust

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?

En France, des fermes publiques créées pour l’autonomie alimentaire Un réseau français porte un plaidoyer sur l’utilité des fermes publiques pour obtenir la reconnaissance du statut agricole de ces fermes.

"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."

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.

La science prouve que "une bonne pluie vaut 10 arrosages": les cycles naturels de l' #eau sont précieux

Gastronativism: Us & Them — The Common Table Food Studies professor Fabio Parasecoli on gastronativism. A conversation about "us", "them", food, politics and systemic thinking.

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!

TD: Will 'measures' be introduced to reduce sale of farm land to non-farmers? - Agriland.ie A Fianna Fáil TD has questioned if cross-government measures will be introduced to "reduce the sale of farm land to non-farming interests".

"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."

Shifting our eating patterns away from animal products is smart for lots of reasons A meal with less meat and dairy is better for our health, for the environment and for our pockets

"At the moment, the ratio of animal to vegetable proteins is about 60 to 40. In a healthy and environmentally responsible diet, more of our protein should come from vegetable sources."

Meet the French gardener who wants to save Irish soil Tanguy de Toulgoët’s Co Laois plot is a flower-filled, hugely productive family garden

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.
