If you’re interested in transition design and transition studies, or in more general issues around sustainability, regeneration, and social justice, I highly recommend this book. As the title suggests, it’s a critical engagement with discourses around “abundance”, popular in the US right now. But…

Capitalism has created a world of bullsh*t abundance and artificial scarcity, where we have too much of what we don’t need and too little of what we do. The system’s pursuit of profits has put us on… Why Liberal Abundance is Bullsh*t

Capitalism has created a world of bullshit abundance and artificial scarcity.

Food Systems in Common: Council Farms, Agroecological Food Sovereignty, and Public-Common Partnerships | Kai Heron, Bertie Russell & Keir Milburn Nov 28, 2024

Our report, Food Systems in Common, outlines how we can use public-common partnerships to transition to a democratised food system, producing good quality, nutritious and affordable food while repairing the country’s damaged ecosystems. 2/2

🥕 Read it here: www.in-abundance.org/reports/food...

🚜 Britain’s farming sector is in crisis.

Global over-production keeps commodity prices down, and state support that once propped up private farms has largely disappeared.

The solution lies in commoning agriculture. 1/2

We used to own our essential services, like water, energy, and transport. Not anymore.

Here @georgemonbiot.bsky.social reveals the failure of government to act in our interests and end private exploitation of OUR water for profit.

We're calling for a new model of social control.

Our new briefing reviews 4 international experiences to learn from: www.in-abundance.org/reports/beyo...

📍 Frances Northrop – a co-founding Director of @abundance-org.bsky.social and Head of Community Economic Power at @neweconomics.bsky.social. From a place of practical experience, Frances advises on generative local economies.

The report argues that England’s council farm estate is an ideal starting point for a wider transformation of Britain’s food system away from ecologically destructive ‘conventional farming’ methods, towards socially & ecologically regenerative systems rooted in the principles of food sovereignty 4/4

The report proposes that local authorities, farmworkers and community groups should work together to implement public-common partnerships to ease a transition away from today’s socially and ecologically unsustainable food system. 3/4

Food Systems in Common: Council Farms, Agroecological Food Sovereignty, and Public-Common Partnerships | Kai Heron, Bertie Russell & Keir Milburn Nov 28, 2024

Our report, Food Systems in Common, outlines how we can democratise Britain’s food system and produce good quality, nutritious and affordable food while repairing the country’s damaged ecosystems, and meeting climate targets. 2/4

www.in-abundance.org/reports/food...

To meet biodiversity and climate targets, we need a transition towards agroecological food production in Britain.

But how?

🧵1/4

Here @adamvaughan.bsky.social shows why we need social control of water.

Out yesterday, our report makes the case for treating water as a shared resource, not a corporate asset.

It asks "should we prioritise using water to grow food or to cool data centres?"

Beyond the Public: Experiences in the Social Control of Water | Bertie Russell & Keir Milburn Jun 26, 2025

1/3 One of the best and most refined arguments out there for water in public hands. Worth the read.

Water should work for us but is really run to make rich people richer. Yet "nationalisation" isn't always the answer.
in-abundance.org/reports/beyo... @abundance-org.bsky.social @kmilb.bsky.social

3/3 That's why, more than nationalisation, we need democratic ownership and control of our water.

Abundance’s new paper says it’s not just about who owns things. It’s about who controls them - and how to make sure that’s us, the public.
