There was a step change in the overall supply of farmland onto the public market in Great Britain last year; 20% more land was offered than in 2022. The additional farmland marketed is largely attributed to farm business changes driven by the agricultural transition. A marked rise in farm machinery dispersal sales suggests more farmers are exiting the industry or restructuring their businesses. The Spotlight on the Farmland Market from Savills Research also suggests the rate of growth in farmland values will slow from 2024 due to weaker demand coinciding with increasing supply. The Spotlight also explores what Great Britain’s major political parties are likely to be including in their manifestos for the upcoming general election and how those pledges might affect land values. Analysis suggests planning reform and more ambitious environmental goals and targets will feature strongly.

In our new blog, founding member of Sisterhood Gardens Jamie Marie Chan, Ed.D. shares the story of how the transformational community garden came to be. Learn more about how the garden helps advance environmental justice below:

I have been reading the pages of environmental author, poet, and mother Camille T. Dungey. In her book "Soil," she reflects on why there are no mothers in the environmental literature canon- authors who penned narratives that have ultimately shaped how we think about the relationship between humans and the environment. Authors that she notes have had the privilege to wander forests in solitude. She writes, “Maybe I didn't see mothers in the canon of environmental literature because it has long been impossible for mothers to write narratives of a world where they can wander alone in the open, pausing long enough to let grasshoppers eat sugar from their hands. Maybe I don't see mothers in the canon of environmental literature because it's impossible for most mothers to create a world where they have nobody else to think of but themselves.” When we think about narrative change and power, this work calls us to interrogate pervasive harmful narratives and ask whose voice is missing. I appreciate this quote because it helps us go even deeper than that. Existing narratives— in this case, on nature— have been defined by those with the time, privilege, and resources to do the defining. Their common experience and way of seeing is reified as universal truth. And we forget that it's actually just because they had the time to think and write. A mother writing about her garden, which she steals moments to tend to while working and caring for her family, is as much an environmental expert and thinker as someone taking a sabbatical to wander in the woods. And have, in my mind, an even more urgent and realistic understanding of how we can cultivate a sustainable relationship between people and the planet. This might be another way of saying we need lots of different stories to make space for multiple ways of being in and seeing the world. I hope this post offers you space for reflection for the narrative work you're working on. I highly recommend this book! https://lnkd.in/g2KHeQDC

This is so great to see, especially the focus equitable distribution in high need/underserved areas!

🪵 Inside ASH’s Rise to Meet Australia's Surging Demand for Hardwoods 🚧 Amidst a crisis in the Victorian hardwood industry, Australian Sustainable Hardwoods (ASH) is innovating to supply the next generation of timbers, including importing 30 40-foot containers of American Hardwoods every month! 🇺🇸ASH is now bringing in "Glacial Oak" - instantly recognisable with its consistency and blond colouring, which it claims is “the best solution for the vast majority of businesses in the ASH supply chain.” 🔎 Strategic Developments: 1️⃣ Diversified Supply: With Victorian hardwoods stopping, ASH is importing American Oak to meet market demands, showcasing adaptability in a challenging environment. 2️⃣ Focus on Sustainability: ASH emphasises sustainable and responsible sourcing, with their American Oak being selectively harvested, ensuring environmental considerations remain a priority. 3️⃣ Advanced Manufacturing: The company is not just importing raw materials but transforming them into high-value products like staircases, windows, doors, and furniture, highlighting its advanced manufacturing capabilities. 4️⃣ Contribution to Housing Solutions: ASH is exploring innovative timber solutions like "Plantation Oak" for social and affordable housing, potentially offering a sustainable and rapid construction method for addressing Australia's housing crisis. 🤔 #questionforgroup: How can other companies in the timber industry adapt and innovate in the face of resource limitations and environmental regulations? 👷 As ASH adapts to the changing landscape of hardwood supply, its approach could serve as a model for resilience and innovation in the timber industry. 🔗 Learn more about ASH's strategic shift and its impact on the Australian timber market here: https://lnkd.in/gWWjVzMb #construction #architecture #architectureanddesign #masstimber #masstimberconstruction #australia #engineering #buildingmaterials #hardwoodflooring #housingcrisis #housingaffordability #vicpol #auspol #greenbuildings #woodcentral #woodcentralau1 #americanoak #madeinamerica #theultimaterenewable #woodsolutions #socialhousing #pefc #responsiblewood #ecolabel

That's why governments are failing us... Instead of protecting our interests and the Natural capital they keep busy with enforcing ridiculous rules or packaging public assets (water, transport, forests ) and selling them off. We, the citizens, are too busy in our smartphones to notice.(inc. me writing this message 😊) https://lnkd.in/eKgyusRr ------------------------------------------------------------- ✅Follow me and repost. ✅Use the Ethical Product Framework to grow your business - send a DM to learn more. #climatechange #climateaction #esg #sustainability #circulareconomy #transparency #compassionateleadership #inclusivedesign #democracy #ethicalbusiness #ethicalleadership
