Thanks for this 🐼 - it was an important and interesting discussion to kick-off @scottishgreens.org conference!

Tara @landworkersuk.bsky.social tells @scottishgreens.org conference of need to support smaller producers like market gardens feeding local people, small agroforestry, crofters, e.g. farmers' basic income. Bruce @scotwildlife.bsky.social calls for agriculture budget to fund sustainable production.

@ross-greer.bsky.social & Cllr Christy Mearns spoke about the progress Greens in Parliament & councils have made to increase #mentalhealth support in schools, which improves wellbeing & can help reduce some of the pressure on crisis Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services. Much work still to do...

@ross-greer.bsky.social shared good news about cross-party progress to replace SQA body with a new exam body with representation by teachers, young people & adult learners. Also pushing for more teacher support & representation in Education Scotland's curriculum-making, plus independent inspection.
