The The Office for Environmental Protection pulls no punches here. Ministers need to make tackling the nature and climate crises a priority. That means more resources, greater focus and better coordination. ~ Ruth Chambers theguardian.com/environment/20…

An NHS 'healthy eating' app is promoting ultra-processed junk food to families - energy drinks, crisps and instant noodles among the UPF products receiving a government endorsement. Insane! New Soil Association investigation - dailymail.co.uk/health/article…

PETITION 👉soilassociation.co/3iLJyGe The government's food scanner app has been downloaded 500k times on Google Play - but actively encourages consumers to buy unhealthy #UltraProcessedFood! They must stop putting profits over health. bit.ly/40kyIrn #TakingTheBiscuit

🤔🚜💚Can small farms be as efficient as large farms? Can we scale up organic methods? SPOILER ALERT: YES! Great 30-minute episode feat. our very own Joanna Lewis from 17m20s bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3…

Nature markets can still be a vital future element of UK farming systems - if they can be made to work. We heard from farmers across UK nations about the potential and challenges of #NaturalCapital markets, and the guardrails needed from government👇 ffcc.co.uk/news-and-press…

Today's damning Climate Change Committee Net Zero review says Govt must double tree planting rates. Our analysis shows that farmers can achieve 100% of this target by integrating trees on farm for a fraction of the farm budget Soil Association Groundswell bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

An amendment has been tabled to *stop* Government's #NutrientNeutrality plans. It's in the name of the Duke of Wellington, a respected cross-bencher. @uklabour's Maggie Jones has already added her support & we understand Peers from every party are lining up to fight this hard

Good news. DEFRA agreed to strengthen legal links between Local Nature Recovery Strategies & local plans. The change is in response to Kate Parminter's proposals, supported by Kathy Willis & Maggie Jones. Thanks to Richard Benyon for listening. Now to get the LNRSs flying!

Fingers tightly crossed for the House of Lords on 12 Sept and a crucial chance to force a Govt rethink on scrapping Nutrient Neutrality - a big 'own goal' given that voters care deeply about cleaning up our rivers. More about what's at stake in Wiltshire in my blog Wilts Wildlife Trust

Thank you to everyone who defended #NutrientNeutrality protection for nature - the Government's proposals have been rejected. Peers from all parties have concluded that we can build houses *without* sacrificing rivers or weakening environmental law. Now on to restoring nature.
