After an intense week of workshops, deadlines and a very painful #techfail - to those who have lost painstaking changes to some unknown computer ‘error’, I see you - I’m taking a much-needed hiatus this week.

I’m leaving with you a picture of a rare sunlit afternoon in Berlin this week and a reminder to spare some thoughts for the fundamental component of our food systems - soils - on Sunday because December 5 is World Soil Day. If you want to know more about the importance of soils, here’s something I wrote almost two years ago.

As always, have a great weekend! Please feel free to share this post and send tips and thoughts on twitter @thinink, to my LinkedIn page or via e-mail thin@thin-ink.net.
