Given historial emissions, Uganda arguably has more of a right to develop oil fields with #TotalEnergies than #rosebank. Uganda’s oil is in biodiverse rich Murchison Falls. Decisions in the UK send a message globally. This is #ToryShambles https://t.co/68dpJt7GW3

[Jacob Eyeru @Jacobeyeru]

For our #StopEACOP friends, even the world’s top economies are opening new oil exploration with reasons like ‘tax revenues and jobs’!

The more why Uganda must explore its oil!

@TinaR42 Today we have life imitating art. The awe of stumbling across a quoll shines through in this article too https://t.co/uoKVj18YV3

@willswanson Any stats on health outcomes from these operations? 😬😔

[Simon Fraval @Sfrav]

#rosebank looks like a bad deal disconnected from reality
💸£3.75 billion in tax breaks
💸profit to Norway
💸UK needs to import back at mkt price
🤦‍♂️1600 jobs at peak (2026-2033)
🏝200m tonnes of CO2

How do we raise the decibel level to @trussliz mini-budget proportions on this?

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

Agree with @CarolineLucas. Also, by consuming scarce resources that could be going to renewables, it risks slowing the green transition and the jobs that come from it. That’s not in interests of those who work in oil & gas - they need that transition to happen at pace #rosebank

👇An opportunity to learn from years of boundary defying experimentation ✅

[Rogier Schulte @RogierSchulte]

If you are:
✅Working in the food system (private or public)
✅Tasked to improve sustainability
✅Keen to make a difference
❌Don't know where to start...
❌Whether to pursue regenerative, circular, climate-smart, organic or agro-ecology...

👇Then this summer school🧑‍🎓is for you!

How can we help farmers navigate the maze of technical solutions? #FEAST has been a guiding light for rural communities across 15 counties. Connection and empowerment are key to the process

[Alan Duncan @alaninaddis]

See some musings on "participatory livestock feed improvement" spurred by a paper we just published on #FEAST. @ben_lukuyu @Sfrav @ZelalemLema @ILRI @GlobalAgEd @IFAD

What a Moral Maze. The panel touches on the topics of AI in art, education, the workforce and dystopian totalitarian regimes🦾😬.
Tomorrow our @GlobalAgEd MSc students will explore the role of AI in #planetaryhealth - environmental stewardship, farm systems and public health.

@alaninaddis @SimonOosting "'spaceman' economy ... without unlimited reservoirs of anything, either for extraction or for pollution, and in which, therefore, man must find his place in a cyclical ecological system"
Beautifully crafted. So soon after #silentspring. Even weighed #climatelockdown viability

Big news! @Planet is set to acquire @sinergise, makers of the leading software platform @sentinel_hub. We’re excited to invest in and build on the great work they’ve done in Europe and across the globe. https://t.co/bN1So3wxoQ

Question for #gischat and #EOchat and #agtech … et al …
Where do you get your agricultural field boundaries from?

[Simon Fraval @Sfrav]

#Ag4dev helps many escape poverty. But "The persistently poor households in this study were not able to enhance farm value production or generate high value off-farm income, and showed signs of the low productivity-low income poverty trap" https://t.co/Ywpjyytwh1

[Jim Hammond @JimHam18]

A new piece of research looking at changing incomes amongst farmers in East Africa. Agriculture can help some escape poverty, but doesn't help the poorest. Something else is needed to escape the extreme poverty trap. But what?
