"We don't just produce products, we produce knowledge" ~ Rupert Dunn of @Torth_y_Tir on reclaiming (re)search in farming. Research as much about recognition (e.g. what peasant growers are already doing) as it is "newness" in 'Reclaiming Research for Real Food & Farming' session.

#organic agriculture is not a revolution it’s a rediscovery - the importance of soil health was extensively written about in the early 1900s says Elliot Coleman @ORFC #ORFC19

fascinating panel discussion on natural capital... instrinsic values, the role of society, private/public money; the inherent ecological dysfunctionaliry of capitalism; the slick euphemism that is 'ecosystem services'. what's agreed: a deeper convo about "nature" needed #ORFC19

Takeaway message from Whole Health Agriculture speakers is that observation & working with nature is key -- the quintessence of #permaculture. #Orfc19
