European friends, your governments on 18th May are making a decision on removing your ability to see if the food you buy and eat is genetically modified.
Forget the science for a moment.
They want the market flooded with patented seeds that arent free to share and use. Thats enough of a reason even before talking about health risks removed from your personal assessment.

Sign the #Soil Association's petition to stop #glyphosate being sprayed on #crops just before harvest

Join us in calling on the UK government to #CutTheChemicals from our #Food and #Fields by banning this harmful practice

Soil Association's campaign to ban pre-harvest glyphosate

Pesticides are contaminating our food and wild spaces - harming our health, and the bees, birds and rivers we depend on. The European Union has already taken stronger action on pesticide use. It’s time we did too. So, where do we start? Glyphosate, the chemical in popular weedkillers like Roundup, is found across our land and waterways, with residues often ending up in our food. There’s mounting evidence linking glyphosate to serious health concerns, from cancers to liver disease and damage to the gut microbiome. And it can be devastating for wildlife too.

"Extreme heat is a powerful risk multiplier and currently threatens the livelihoods of 1.23 billion #people. Extreme heat damages #crops,
stresses #livestock, depletes #fisheries and increases the risk of #wildfires. #Agricultural #workers are 35 times more likely to die from #occupational
#heat #exposure than all workers combined in other sectors. This double blow of #health #risks and
#productivity #loss disproportionately burdens #rural #women "

This years crop planting (not a lot of space). There’s a big trough of random strawberry plants that survived from last year and have been all put in together. The other tubs have between them 3 tomato plants and a cucumber. Hoping the slugs steer clear of the cucumber this year as the pot has old copper tape round it.

Maize #plants support #ecosystems by preventing #soil erosion, improving soil structure, and providing habitat for #insects and small #animals. For humans, they are a vital #food source and economic crop. Protecting such #crops means protecting our future—join the #greenyouthmovement on #Mastodon and be part of building healthier, sustainable communities together.

* Support for appropriately scaled #agricultural and #industrial #production, replacing #monocultures and single-function activities with integrated production that protects #soil & generates multiple #crops while supporting #ecosystem services.
