Brilliant event from @BevanFoundation screening a beautiful short film & #39;Nowt but a fleeting thing& #39; and how so many of our food producers are themselves trapped in food poverty. @undodcymru https://www.bevanfoundation.org/events/watchparty-food/">https://www.bevanfoundation.org/events/wa...

The issues of food production and food poverty are so often discussed in silos so brilliant to see these brought together. @slloydselby emphasising that one issue cannot be solved at the expense of the other.

This was my Q relating farming to care work (with the recipient of care being the land) and the parallels between @NFolbre& #39;s idea of care workers as "Prisoners of Love" trapped by their endogenous preferences. I didn& #39;t mean it was farmers& #39; fault! https://twitter.com/BevanFoundation/status/1317113456441675777?s=20">https://twitter.com/BevanFoun...

More that a neo-liberal economic system - based on neo-classical economics that defines work as a "bad" that rational economic actors try to minimise - is never going to adequately value or compensate those who love their work.

Here is the short film & #39;Nowt but a fleeting thing& #39; - I found it extremely moving https://www.theguardian.com/global/video/2019/nov/18/nowt-but-a-fleeting-thing-a-young-farmers-fight-for-survival-video">https://www.theguardian.com/global/vi... @RobatIdris @AlexHeffron88 @HanmerOwain @BenGwalchmai

Here is @NFolbre& #39;s talk for LSE about care work that introduced me to the feminist economics of care work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91N5HtMbVHY">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

So much of what @APCrowe talks about it the film chimed with her ideas about being "trapped" by love, in this case not for a person but the land and way of life.
