2021 wettest year on record, 2022 the driest. Black currant farmer Rosie Begg of Gorgate Farms says climate extremes are obvious, and urges farmers not to wait for the 'right time' but to act now to be part of the solution @Agri_Tech_E https://t.co/4mdd1GEboS
Really enjoyed all the positive vibes @Groundswellaguk last week especially hearing from farmers that are regenerative and profitable. Key message lean into make a difference to global warming and global feeding

Q. Fenland is farming on carbon but produces most of UK veg, farmer Tom Clarke asks what is the future? A. Need national landuse strategy and #agritech to keep soil moist to reduce carbon loss. Dimbleby @Groundswellaguk #groundswell22
Henry Dimbleby talks @Groundswellaguk about what next for food strategy. He expresses concern that payment for public goods won’t be given enough time to work, calls for all to lean in for food security and health
Much discussion soil health @Groundswellaguk on need to sample soils at depth 0-30cm and 30-60, and at same time of year and moisture, to enable true comparison. @Hutchinsons_Ag pit show value of roots
@TrooperSnooks@EdNesling You mentioned it is fed by field drains - do you monitor the water quality in those drains? That would be another interesting metric. https://t.co/d32Efp4VaU
1.5 million people died worldwide from TB in 2020, many could have been prevented with better diagnostic. @medtechonline talks to Dr Tomas Richardson @PBDBiotech about the potential of a phage 'bacteria eater' to provide an easy to use test for TB https://t.co/iAHuaOr2Sd
Farmers Weekly features exciting #Agritech start-ups profiled by @Agri_Tech_E at REAP. Many of the technologies support regenerative farming, which is low on environmental impacts and big on real food, grown well.
