What do farmers really think?

In this first film in a new series, @blewinbell @soillifefarmer @HelenBOrganic @gavlane, John Cherry & Patrick Holden tell us more about the work they do.

We'll be amplifying more farming voices in the coming weeks.

A fantastic effort from the team of volunteers at YACWAG's Cobthorn Reserve this morning, planting 42 trees to mitigate climate change and improve the habitat for bats 🌳🦇💚 Thanks to @forestofavon for all the support

[Andy D Higginson @AndyDHigginson]

Come do a PhD with me, @ljnbrent and @C_C_Ioannou, modelling the social lives of monkeys and fish. What could be more fun? https://t.co/kzXCMT6un8

Are you a landowner based in Somerset? 🌱

Due to overwhelming demand, we've increased capacity for our webinar to help you break through the jargon around biodiversity net gain (BNG): https://t.co/E7z2iIAZYL

Persistent rain causing problems for outdoor events across the North of England this weekend, reminiscent of Peter Brook’s ‘I/C Cakes’ with a solitary gala tent and its incongruous sign in what had clearly been a washout at one of his local agricultural shows. (Sold by @clarkart)

[Clare Boyes @pickeletto]

Very pleased to announce that we have set up a fund with @RoyEntSoc to honour Douglas's memory. Aim's to allow young (14 - 18 years) entomologists to apply for small grants to further develop their passion for insects & inspire others. @diarsia More here:

I don't see how research like this does anything else other than enable the continuation of a broken system.

[Eleanor Higginson @Higgiwink]

Don't get me wrong, I'm as desperate for an uptick in biodiversity as anyone else. We need to do that through systems change, not through continued segregation of land for food, and land for nature.

Had a brilliant day geeking off about biodiversity indicators in regenerative systems. Definitely all fired up for #Groundswell now!

@bencm305 @Evri__Delivery Did they used to be Hermes? If so, they were crap then too!

The application window for the next round of the Facilitation Fund is now open! They're funding 3 year agreements starting June 2023. After everything that has been going on at Defra, this is a welcome announcement.

@lucyjones Have you come across this one? My mum was a breastfeeding counsellor in the 80s and she passed this book on to me when I had my children.

[Kelly Parsons @thefoodrules]

Very useful analysis of council climate plans, and lots of ideas for actions which can be taken at local level to connect climate and food #foodsystems #foodpolicy

The landscapes of Cumbria & the Lake District hold a cherished place in the hearts of many. Historically, the fells, lakes, villages & pastures of this northwest corner of England have fired the imaginations of poets and authors,
