Mark #WorldFoodDay and celebrate the majority world's food providers who, while respecting #PachaMama and #Nyeleni, cooperate to provide 80% of world's peoples with food through #biodiverse #agroecological systems and #FoodSovereignty

On #BiodiversityDay we celebrate the 270 species of bees in the UK, including this #Bumblebee feeding on Russian Comfrey in our plot, and ensure that both these and honeybees can coexist on our #allotment site by growing a wide range of pollinating plants.

Not only this bumblebee, on Russian Comfrey in our UK allotment garden, but many other pollinators could coexist with a few honeybees, if our local council allowed us a couple of hives 😕. The irony is that the council brands itself as a RugBEE-friendly!

#Agricultural #Biodiversity

Recognising all pollinators on #WorldBeeDay, this bumblebee, on Russian Comfrey flowers in our allotment garden, is one of 270 species of bees in the UK. It could soon be joined by a few honeybees from our hives, if #coexistence -blind RugBee Borough Council lets us!

A sad but memorable day - and the world will forever remember the highlights of the Pope Francis papacy, not least Laudato Si.

Papa Francisco - may you rest in peace 🙏

Love the art work - perhaps inspired by Nyéléni herself, the legendary Malian peasant woman who farmed and fed her peoples well. She embodied food sovereignty and inspired these principles at the Nyéléni 2007 forum for food sovereignty

The 4 Big Chem corps are the main perpetrators of the loss of agricultural biodiversity across the human-managed landscape!

- Bayer/Monsanto: 40% (Glyphosate & GM crops)
- Syngenta: 30% (Neonics & seeds)
- Corteva Agriscience: 15% (Monoculture & GM tech)
- BASF: 15% (Chem-intensive farming)
