"..farmers are needed, both to provide food and look after nature in their fields,.. and more. But to do this they need to be paid more"
a fair point that is often lost in noise of environmental debate

@herdyshepherd1 You can see corporate land control in US/Canada. Corporates control all other aspects of food production/consumption so no big surprise they will seek same this side of the pond. Agree a lot of #sustainable green washing will go on

If this leads to an extension of the 30.11 deadline then great news.Far too many people with genuine rights of way at high risk of losing same if this is not done or facing into expensive and divisive litigation to prove their claim@HHumphreysFG @McConalogue @IFAmedia @amyforde6

Great opportunity for farmers to develop energy co-ops to supply feedstock to the AD plants as well as been investing in the plants with the developers.

AD has great potential - not just for green gas but removing large amount of carbon across the Agri sector & reducing nitrates.Essential farmers allowed invest in AD plants & not just be mere suppliers of feedstock/ recipients of digestate. https://t.co/bmv3oNfuoc
