Today on BBC Future, I ask @natalia_falagan, @Horler_VF and Laura Vickers what would happen if we grew all our food indoors. In theory, there isn't much stopping us growing vertical apple orchards in inner cities – and there are benefits to trying

...and then of course there's the controversial bit, about the harms of animal ag. But I thought these were well argued. Overall, a powerful contribution to the debate between, and integration of land sparing and land sharing. Definitely recommended reading.

Some of the stuff about soil ecology was very surprising and I learned a great deal. Equally, I was very interested to read the bits about microbial fermentation.

Just finished reading @GeorgeMonbiot's Regenesis. Very interesting and worthwhile read, full of fascinating things. Disappointed though by the short, flippant and honestly slightly lazy dismissall of urban & vertical farming. Still, well worth a read though.

The best institutional design comes out of years of practical cooperation and coordination.

No excuse for @RMTunion strikes during #cop26glasgow. Spiteful & deeply counterproductive. Should be hanging their heads in shame (and I say this as someone broadly supportive of unions). https://t.co/Ea9XbgLcWz

The RMT warned there will be no trains running anywhere in Scotland during COP26 if the strikes go ahead.
