"We can farm better. All of us. Though the rapidly escalating crises can seem overwhelming, we have choices. (It is so critical that we realize that. There is always something we can do. All of us.) Yes, we are destroying and degrading our ecosystems faster than they can rebuild themselves — but we can help speed the rebuilding while growing our food at the same time."

"I think we’re now experiencing the beginning of the end of the ‘modernism’ that the ecomodernists champion – an end that I welcome (...) We need to start implementing something radically different. Radically different, from the roots up." Chris Smaje

“The land work won’t work without the people work”

If we're to safely navigate the social, economic & environmental challenges ahead then we need to gather together, find commonality, evolve a shared vision & form cooperative movements to carry us across the threshold of change.

We must pledge allegiance TO ALL LIFE...

Capitalist culture is killing the Earth - our only HOME.

We must have clear intention to step away from being a consumer of the planet & become an active citizen for REGENERATIVE CHANGE.

We must begin a new era of THINKING, BEING & DOING 🙏

With only 3 DAYS TO GO until The Oxford Real Farming Conference (#ORFC2023) it's time to reflect on the past to inform the present & empower dreams for a shared land-base for all species, domestic & wild 💚

"By looking at the bigger picture of animal-plant-ecosystem relationships, and based on the growing popularity of nature-based climate solutions, scientists believe that now is the time for the wider conservation and rewilding movements to embrace ACC (Animating the Carbon Cycle) to help animals fulfil their vital roles in the carbon cycle." 🤔

Another day, another mob-grazing move at Greenfenn.

The flocks ebb & flow over the land is driven by enabling domestic & wild species to fully intertwine within the ecological web of the land-base & allowing other cohabitants the space & peace they require.

"We have strayed from “caretaker of land” to “user of land.” We have lost the ability to understand the vital connection we should have to the land. And we can blame this disconnection for the mass loss of biodiversity and ecological functionality underway, and the looming climate crisis at large."

GREAT to see that #ChrisPackham will join the Oxford Real Farming Conference (#ORFC23) in January as a show of solidarity with leading voices in #Agroecology from six continents who recognise the urgent need to transform #Food & #Farming by working with #Nature, not against it.

@pineconeclare Totally, and why at Village Farm we put all this into practice and proved a viable business model with #NaturesRecovery at its core and driven by the ethics/principles laid out above. Alas, that venture came to a conclusion due to the tragic loss of Tim Green. But #agriwilding works and we still work to this formula today, albeit in a much reduced land-base capacity now at Greenfenn.

#Degrowth to a #PostGrowth World.

It makes so much sense ✊

Interesting to chat to a Natural England advisor & fellow farmer concerning the interface between #RegenerativeFarming & #Rewilding & how this grey area is the really exciting bit of a new #RegenerativeCulture + how holistic concepts like #Agriwilding & others offer a vital link!

"we need to farm in a more #nature-friendly, #biodiversity-supporting way, limiting the use of inputs and replacing monoculture with polyculture #farming practices."

Oooh - that sounds familiar 😆

The stories that we tell ourselves underpin our behaviour towards each other & the wilder world. We must challenge & change our collective narrative from one of dominance to one of cohabitation with all life. Only then can we dream/reimagine a viable future for people & planet.

"With our current culture skewed towards exploiting the natural world, the only solution offered is to exclude us from certain areas to stop that happening. It seems to me there is a real need to demonstrate how we can be an ecological force for good. It’s all about being aware of your own agency within an ecosystem." #RebeccaHosking
