Few people have travelled so far and so lightly on the earth as Dervla Murphy. Never having owned a car, she has happily cycled the world, whilst living a simple, no frills life in Ireland. She would be a fitting symbol for the new world we seek..." Clare O'Grady Walshe, next

Looks like Bayer-Monsanto is looking to hijack #organic vegetable farming and gardening. What we WANT is an organic future. What we DON'T WANT is Bayer-Monsanto taking it over. Boycott Bayer-Monsanto. Boycott Seminis. Boycott De Ruiter.

The only #food system needing a "reset" is the one currently destroying global #biodiversity by subsidising #BigAg & #BigFood's #pesticide-drenched, industrially-grown crops, ^30% of which are #wasted! Humans should eat the food we evolved to eat - not fake ultra-#processed junk!
