Great day at @BioregionTay meeting last Friday. Big Q: Can the landscape feed the people? We can start by defining what the land is doing now, then work out what it could do. Here, different land uses in an area are identified: next steps are trickier #ClimateTayside23
@curvedflatlands @BioregionTay Such complex and ancient field patterns on that map

With the Living Field garden no longer operating, the Editor was missing the annual display of ancient grains, so grew his own from saved seed. Such architectural splendour in these cereals - bere barley, emmer, black oat, rye, spratt barley. What’s like them today.
Record drought, heat, fire in Europe make this year unprecedented, but eastern Scotland was no drier than previous dry years (1976, 1984, 1995, 2003, 2018). Fortunate maybe - but there’s a global duty to care for this cropland. Our analysis at livingfield.co.uk/climate/2022-s…
Great day of Foraging Walks at Kinloss Abbey, Moray kinlossabbey.org Sat 14 May: Anna Canning led foraging for medicinal plants in the abbey grounds @AnnaFloramedica: incl celandines and dandelions, docks, daisies and deadly nightshade; from monks to modern medicine.
More inks by Jean Duncan, here trying out the range of colours from blending inks from oak gall (the black colour) and orzo ‘coffee’. Orzo’s an Italian speciality made from roasted barley grain.

War brings to world attention the complexity of supply chains for food crops and meat. Gross output (shown for wheat) is a major factor but production per person determines what’s spare for export. Western Europe has sufficiency. More at livingfield.co.uk/climate/food-s…
