Patrick Holden sits down, talking to a crowd with a microphone in his hand. (Featured image courtesy of Goals House). A green text box overlays the image and reads: “…we have a distorted economic system where apparently cheap food isn’t really cheap at all, because the costs behind that so-called cheap food include contributing to climate change, destroying nature, having negative effects on river pollution, reducing biodiversity, and also causing social harm including damage to public health.”

✍️ Writing for Speciality Food magazine, our CEO, Patrick Holden, discusses the inaccessibility of ‘good’ food – often organic or sustainability produced – compared to so-called ‘normal’ food which is often cheaper to pay for at the checkout, but costly in other hidden ways.

🏞️ The Government’s #LandUseStrategy has won conservationists’ praise – but is it the right approach?

Our CEO, Patrick Holden, explains why ‘land sharing’ not ‘land sparing’ holds the key to sustainable food, biodiversity and climate resilience.

The Future Is Dry: Why Soil Is The Sexiest Climate Solution Soil underpins all life on earth. Without it, we wouldn’t eat. So why aren't we talking about it?

"All over the world, fertile land is gradually becoming dry, barren and unable to support plants, animals, or people...

...This is no joke. So why isn’t it the top story on the news every night?

Because soil isn’t sexy...

...Soil underpins all life on earth."

Thank you for producing it, it deserves to be read far and wide.

Sustainable agriculture at scale in the UK is possible with the right political will. This is a topic that should have cross-party support.

I am tagging our local MP (and would encourage others to do so): @sarahdykeld.bsky.social

Sustainable Food Trust - Feeding Britain If we change the way we farm and what we eat, we could improve our health, protect nature, combat climate change and be more food secure as a nation.

"A UK-wide transition to sustainable and regenerative farming practices, to tackle the climate, nature and public health crises, could produce enough food to maintain and potentially even improve current levels of self-sufficiency..." - The Sustainable Food Trust @susfoodtrust.bsky.social
