Great blog from David. Investing in a just transition to a sustainable food and farming system is a key part of the infrastructure for delivering our climate and nature goals. Something farmers, crofters and environmental NGOs agree on too..
"Perhaps one thing that all political parties could agree on is the importance of supporting our farmers, crofters and land managers to deliver on food production, climate and nature." 🌱 👨🌾 🐄 🐑 🥕 🌍 🦋 🔊 https://lnkd.in/et6e5GGC Read David McKay's blog on The Scottish Government budget for 2025/2026 and why the overall budget for agriculture needs to be increased – and the budget for organic conversion and maintenance protected – to support our #farmers and #crofters who are being asked to deliver on #climate and #nature goals while continuing to produce high quality food. #Agroecology #Biodiversity #RegenerativeFarming #OrganicActionPlan Soil Association Soil Association Exchange Scottish Environment LINK NFU SCOTLAND Scotland's Farm Advisory Service The Landworkers' Alliance Pasture for Life Nature Friendly Farming Network Nourish Scotland Scottish Crofting Federation

Earlier this year, working with a small group of omnivores, we've taken a deep dive into people's meat eating habits and preferences. Would they be willing to swap the meat out and if so is lab meat better than vegetarian nuggets? Read more in our latest blog.
What kind of a meat-eater are you and how willing and able are you to swap meat out of your meals? - Nourish Scotland
