StrypeyWould be intriguing to see a fediverse server set up specifically for rural people involved in food production (farmers, market gardeners, orchardists etc). It could be a way for them to talk to each other across regional/ factional boundaries, and to talk directly with us city folk, instead of only through gatekeepers (Fed Farmers, Groundswell, media organizations, etc).

Opposition to agricultural reforms gets a wide airing in the media, along with protest and lobby groups fighting the corner against ‘unworkable regulations.’ But farming industry groups - and many farmers - also know adaptation and compromise is inevitable. Mediawatch talks to the editor of Farmers Weekly, whose views end up in the mailbox of almost every farm in the land.
