Save Our Food

Eco-pocrisy: Solar Panels Are An Ecological Disaster, Says Experts The much-lauded solution to all of humanity’s energy ‘problems’ will cause a “waste mountain” by 2050, a renewable energy expert says - as their lifespan is only 25 years, and there are already tens of millions of them in the UK alone. “We're producing more and more solar panels - but how are we going to deal with the waste?” asked Ute Collier, deputy director of the International Renewable Energy Agency. “By 2030, we think we're going to have 4m tonnes [of scrap],” she added. “But by 2050, we could end up with more than 200m tonnes globally." For context, the world currently produces 400m tonnes of plastic annually. But it’s cows which are destroying the environment?

We need to reconsider what is actual "green energy".

Gardening 101: first rule— get dirty

I had the joy of interviewing Sebastian Pavon Urbaneja, an inspiring organic farmer in Coin, Andalucía. He is the perfect example of what a conscious, next generation Earth loving farmer looks like. Having been brought up on the farm, Sebastian discovered first hand the impact of conventional chemical and machine based farming on the health of the soil, plants and his own family. He has now dedicated himself to regenerating the land and cultivating organic and heirloom varieties of plants in a fun and experimental way. Being an independent farmer can mean extremely hard work and long hours, but there are ways to invite Nature to work with you. Through creativity, innovation and years of trial and error, Sebastian has managed to organise his farm in a way that he can even take days off for himself now, which is normally unheard of for farmers. Beyond the practices of farming, Sebastian also shares how his farm is not only a local food market, but also a wonderful hub for learning and building community.

We love our new logo, gifted to us by Rafael from www.thebravebrands.com. It perfectly captures our mission - the roots representing our calling to return to the Earth and regenerate the land, and the various fruits and vegetables our pursuit to save our local food and farmers. 💚

We looked at how debt is a central concept upon which our modern societies have been built, and how decentralisation with circular communities and embodied reverence for the Divine is the way to bring ourselves back to equity as well as food sovereignty.
