70% of UK land is farmed. If we want nature to recover, this is where it happens. Farmers like James Rebanks are already doing it – farming with wildlife, not against it. But without proper funding, we risk losing it all. Rachel Reeves: increase funding, grow our future.

Too often we hear that grazing ruminants are the worst part of our food system, when in reality they can be the best, delivering for diet, climate & nature. We need a more honest conversation about cows. scribehound.com/countryside/li…

Another retailer letting down UK farmers. They take every opportunity to shout about UK sourcing policies and then stock beef under a tertiary brand which drives a coach & horses through corporate ‘British only’ claims. I thought Morrisons were better than this type of hypocrisy

Outrageous that Morrisons are putting Australian or beef on the shelf and blurring the difference by calling it “Australian or British”. This is a dangerous moment for UK beef as more retailers look to drop their support of British farmers. #BackBritish

The NFU is urging retailers to keep commitments made to British farmers following reports of some imported beef hitting supermarket shelves, which may have been produced to lower standards. Find out more👉nfuonline.com/updates-and-in… #BackBritishFarming

This is rightly getting some airtime. No one wins in a race to the bottom and farmers are rightly incensed at this kick in the teeth from some supermarkets.

Beyond the waste of public money we have to remember the appalling and continuing mistreatment of farmers and landowners who found themselves in the way of the bulldozers along the route. Lessons must be learned. thetimes.com/article/08c4ee…

Are you going to James S. Peck on Wednesday? I’m really looking forward to a discussion on how we can be more productive and more efficient as UK farmers alongside some great speakers. See you there.
