If you’re interested in transition design and transition studies, or in more general issues around sustainability, regeneration, and social justice, I highly recommend this book. As the title suggests, it’s a critical engagement with discourses around “abundance”, popular in the US right now. But…

🚜 Britain’s farming sector is in crisis. Global over-production keeps commodity prices down, and state support that once propped up private farms has largely disappeared. The solution lies in commoning agriculture. 1/2

The report argues that England’s council farm estate is an ideal starting point for a wider transformation of Britain’s food system away from ecologically destructive ‘conventional farming’ methods, towards socially & ecologically regenerative systems rooted in the principles of food sovereignty 4/4

1/3 One of the best and most refined arguments out there for water in public hands. Worth the read. Water should work for us but is really run to make rich people richer. Yet "nationalisation" isn't always the answer. in-abundance.org/reports/beyo... @abundance-org.bsky.social @kmilb.bsky.social

3/3 That's why, more than nationalisation, we need democratic ownership and control of our water. Abundance’s new paper says it’s not just about who owns things. It’s about who controls them - and how to make sure that’s us, the public.

“Beyond the Public" by Abundance seeks to influence the debate about the ownership and control of water in the UK. It reviews four different international experiences that moved beyond public vs private, and calls for a new model of social control. Download: www.in-abundance.org/reports/beyo...

Abundance @abundance-org.bsky.social · 26/06/2025
We need more than just a change in ownership. We need a clear vision and new model built around social control of water: where communities and workers are at the centre of how water is managed.
“Social control can help build the popular democratic agency necessary to guarantee that essential utilities are governed in the collective interest.”

Abundance @abundance-org.bsky.social · 26/06/2025
History proves that state ownership offers us no guarantees that shareholder profits won’t once again be prioritised ahead of our common interest.
“...nationalisation has been treated as a process to restore profit to the shareholders, at our expense. ”
130
Abundance @abundance-org.bsky.social · 26/06/2025
Thames Water might soon be brought into a Special Administration Regime, but public ownership alone won’t fix a system rigged for private profit. Without real social control, we risk repeating the same mistakes.
Should we prioritise ensuring water is used to irrigate fields for crops

...or for cooling data centres?
