Are you a strategic thinker? Super-keen on seeing the cereals and oilseeds sector transition to a new future? Maybe never thought of doing something about it before? Look at this 👀👇🏼 careers.ahdb.org.uk/vacancy/sector…

.⁦@BBCTheOneShow⁩ why did you use images of a feedlot when asking viewers to vote in your #onechangeforourplanet poll tonight? Not representative of the beef we consume or produce in the UK. It’s misleading. Stop it.

Delighted @JanetHughes made time to see a @CFG_Farmers member's large-scale commercial operation with plenty to offer regen ag efforts. Extensive farming's often touted as the only way to go so it's great the @DefraGovUK team was receptive to doing it differently! #OutcomesMatter

Also had a fascinating morning yesterday at Grosvenor Farms learning about their super-efficient / high welfare dairy operation and how they’re making space for nature on the farm. Also my first time seeing a rotary parlour in action - v interesting!

It’s crap like this that is putting the focus on cows and not fossil fuels These corporate scumbags are gaming us - climate change media is literally about everything except the primary cause

Exclusive: The Science Museum has signed a gagging clause in its agreement with Shell International to sponsor its climate change exhibition, agreeing to take care not to say anything that could damage the company’s reputation, Channel 4 News has learnt.



Couldn’t agree more. Some dreadful product out there masquerading as PAS 100!

This “compost” should be illegal. Full of plastic of all types and sizes. And farmers certainly shouldn’t be paying councils to take it as an organic fert/biomass.

People have the wrong idea about what large scale tree planting is like. Here is a photo tour inside a new commercial plantation

I didn't know about @Bovidiva until I read 👇 (sustainable beef, UK, South America, all in one bio😍!). Now I see she's a double cancer survivor and I'm loving her stunning quilt. I need to meet Dr. Capper, @letichs @Caroline_Stocks, help! 🤓😂🇬🇧🇺🇾agriland.ie/farming-news/a…

Trying to think locally of any younger than me eco farmers that @BBCRadio4 keep talking about ...is it the media or is it DEFRA that are talking nonsense? Many of the progressive farmers I know are in their 50's, experience does count.

The @CFG_Farmers have been doing great work raising awareness of new ways of methane accounting. This is vital for the future of UK livestock farming- this article from NZ explains why the UK has got its methane accounting very wrong.

Words we would do well to heed. Plain fact is short-lived GHGs must be treated differently or we ransom the future for the sake of short term gains. We urge @lorddeben @beisgovuk @theCCCuk @DefraGovUK to be steered by science & support dual accounting (GWP*+GWP100) as minimum.

THREAD: Accounting correctly for methane’s short-lived nature isn’t greenwashing, it’s science. This great paper reinforces what we at @UCDavisCLEAR have been saying – agriculture methane warms differently than fossil CO2. 1/ LINK: doi.org/10.3389/fsufs.…
