UK bans personal EU meat and dairy imports.
Britain is banning travellers from the EU from bringing meat and dairy products into the country as foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) spreads across the continent.
The new restrictions are intended to protect British farms.
"To eat in modern America is to participate in not-knowing. We encounter the meal on our plates, yet behind that, much is kept hidden from us: how the animals were treated, how the land was farmed, who processed the bodies, and who butchered them."

‘Toxic cocktail’: almost 200 pesticides found in European homes https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/11/toxic-cocktail-pesticides-europe-homes-dust-cancer #Medicalresearch #Airpollution #Environment #Pesticides #Worldnews #Property #Farming #Science #Society #UKnews #Europe #Health #Cancer #Money

On fruits and veggies, they linger,
Making our environment stinger,
Let's go organic and keep them alive.

This is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. Only half an hour. I hope we all can watch it and take it to heart.
Brigid articulately expresses exactly what I believe in and hope for our world, and not just with respect to farming; but also education, relationships, evolution; life.

The widespread use of chemical #pesticides has raised concerns regarding environmental impact, health risks and the long-term sustainability of modern #farming.
To shed light on this Tokyo University of Science, closely examined the fine molecular interplay that occurs between spider mites and their host plants to test the theory of plant #pestcontrol.

Ukraine gets approval to export eggs to Canada

Farming is such a noble occupation by nature, Feeding the people is a beautiful thing. But when you get money from leaving a field fallow, that is money that "we the people" paid, it is socialism through and through. Acknowledge that and embrace that it is not just for you a chosen few. #maga #democracy #socialdemocracy #farming

#Republicans from #farming states have been put in a particularly tough position by the tariffs. “We all know #agricultural is usually the first place of retaliation,” Grassley says.
#Grassley says he has taken a vocal “wait & see” approach to #tariffs because he believes #Trump & Greer are using them as a tool to get fairer trade (nope). “If that’s not the case, level with me.”
An explosive whistleblowing memo from an anonymous group of food industry executives has warned the sector is heading for an economic disaster bigger than the pandemic, with companies’ resilience planning based on “wishful thinking” and “false reassurances” to investors.

A community gardening group is hoping to have many ponds in the area, to foster wildlife. At the pond class we were shocked to hear that *all water plants* (we're using native species) are imported - no one produces lovely water plants like Iris - native yellow flag iris, Feileastram; Nymphaea alba, native white water lily, bacán bán; Filipendula ulmaria, the scented meadowsweet, Airgead luachra, Persicaria amphibia, amphibious bistort, Glúineach uisce…
