🌿 What a powerful thread from James Rebanks and a vital reminder of the real value of nature-friendly farming. If we care about food security, climate, nature, & rural communities HM Treasury must maintain – and grow – the agriculture budget in the Spending Review.


There’s already consensus: we must transition to nature-friendly farming. HM Treasury must, at very least, commit to maintaining the current agricultural budget, or risk sleepwalking into disaster - dragging farmers, food & wildlife down with it. All eyes are on this decision.
