De cover van nieuw boek - lancering 25 oktober
Nooit gedacht toen ik er mijn tanden in zette dat er zoveel lagen te ontdekken zijn - en dus te veranderen - in het landbouw-voedsel-systeem.

"Two compelling recent books provide different but complementary answers to what should organise our economies when growth is no longer possible or desirable: care" - read my review of @timjackson.org.uk 'The Care Economy' & @ecodenker.bsky.social 'Dare to Care' www.linkedin.com/pulse/from-g...
From growth to care: remembering what we learned during lockdown
Spring 2020: Streets were empty, economies frozen, yet something remarkable emerged. Health workers and care givers mattered.

Thinking of European Commission staff behind the Farm to Fork Strategy when they'll read the new #EATLancet report.... They had it all right, and it's a real shame the EU's blueprint for healthy, fair and environmentally friendly #FoodSystems was derailed.

Crucial reporting on the UK's new, Blackstone-backed data centre that, in "limited circumstances", will run on a fleet of 580 diesel generators.

Pay no attention to the 580 diesel generators that can produce enough energy for 3 million homes behind the curtain...

Oh, and did I mention this data centre is part-owned by a Trump-loving billionaire who sat by Starmer at the royal banquet?

Colossal Diesel Capacity of Trump-Donor’s UK Data Centre

TROPICAL NIGHT AT 1800M IN AUSTRIA

Never happened 250+ years of Austria history ANYTIME ANYWHERE
No summer heat wave ever made what happened today. On Sept 20th!

“A very warm start to September, once again.

The average temperature in Finland from 1 to 13 September was 15.0 degrees, which is only 0.1 degrees lower than the record set in 2024. The start of September 2023 will be the third.“

Huikean lämmin syyskuun alku, jälleen kerran.

Suomen keskilämpötila 1.–13.9. oli 15,0 astetta, joka on vain 0,1 astetta vuoden 2024 ennätystä alempana. Vuoden 2023 syyskuun alku tulee kolmantena.

Aikasarjagraafi Suomen keskilämpötilasta 1.–13.9. vuosina 1959–2025. Vuoden 2025 ja 2024 lämpötilat ovat selvästi ajankohdan ennätyksiä.

Think about all those people in the West, in liberal political and media circles, on this hellsite, who insisted repeatedly for months that Hamas was the obstacle to a ceasefire deal.

Have nothing but contempt for them and never listen to them ever again.

Ik heb nu in elk journaal (NOS en RTL) gezien hoe Amerika rouwt over Kirk, maar hierover⤵️ nooit iets gehoord.. Terwijl Kirk voor mij net zo’n onbekende was als Hortman.
Hadden onze media niet beter aandacht kunnen besteden aan hoe Trump deze moord misbruikt om Amerika nóg verder te spljten.
