Carlo Petrini wrote this 30 years ago, when he started the Slow Food movement.

Francesco Angelita believed that every creature came from God and reflected something of the divine lesson. The greatest virtue was slowness, followed by adaptation, the ability to settle anywhere, in any environment.

I love a TED Talk. This one on Microplastics is facinating!

Plastic is everywhere. It’s in our clothes, our food, the air we breathe. And plastic is now also in our bodies. Micro and nanoplastics generally enter our bodies in one of three ways: the air, our skin, and what we eat and drink. But how exactly do these microscopic particles affect our health? D...

What happens to organic farming
when gene-edited crops move beyond the lab? 🌱

The conversation in Europe is changing fast.

New genomic techniques.
Gene-edited crops.
Fewer labelling requirements.
Less clarity for consumers.

And maybe the biggest question nobody talks about enough:

What happens to small organic farms when traceability becomes harder and cross-contamination risks increase?

Because pollen doesn’t care about labels.
Wind doesn’t stop at field borders.

We’re told this is progress.
More resistant crops.
Longer shelf life.
Higher yields.

But many small farmers are asking something much simpler:

Will people still know what real organic food actually is?

Organic farming was built on trust:

• natural growing
• biodiversity
• healthy soil
• transparency
• knowing where your food comes from

And once that line becomes blurred, small farms lose more than certification.

They lose identity.

Ireland doesn’t need food that simply travels further, lasts longer, and looks more perfect.

Ireland needs real farmers.
Real soil.
Real transparency. 🇮🇪🌱

Do you believe gene-edited foods should always be clearly labelled for consumers?
