  1. 654 million people live in extreme poverty. But how many more people around the world cannot afford a basic nutritious diet?

    Research led by our Uni highlights that current poverty metrics overlook this, despite the long-term health consequences. In fact, billions of people are affected: uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html

  3. Richard Bernard was a Puritan minister. Here he discusses good works and giving. It’s a simple formula of giving of that which we have in enjoyance, as our hearts move us, and as per our neighbor’s need.

    In modern religiosity, do we end up training each other to reduce that movement of heart— are there networks devoted to this? How can you let heart move you?

  4. Steve & Ben spend a day a week knocking doors on their estate offering to plant free fruit trees in folks' gardens. Today, they are out with fruit bushes looking for new homes.

    They've had a brilliant response, and it's opened up many wonderful connections and conversations about traditional food crops amongst their diverse community.

    Residents will have fresh fruit on their doorstep at zero cost. The group also offer workshops in thrifty growing and caring for fruit trees.

    It's a direct response to the #costoflivingcrisis that also improves climate & biodiversity.

    Here's what Steve says: "The most direct way of addressing food poverty is getting together with friends, family and community and growing it. It's surprisingly easy, it starts with a conversation over a brew. Be that person who puts the kettle on and invites folk round." ❤️

    Delighted we could support Community Roots Permaculture Project with a Transition Together seed-funding grant, supported by @tnlcommunityfund.
