@horton_official Censorship of environmental catastrophe reporting? How can we promote public & political change to save biodiversity & ultimately ourselves if politics silences nature documentaries? Nature is in crisis via human hand. We need to act not ignore.

Cc UK biodiversity benchmarks……🙄

There is a curious phenomenon that results from the relatively brief window of time a single human lifetime provides: we perceive the current state of the natural world as “normal”.

This is known as the Shifting Baseline Syndrome. 🧵

@MalindiGammon What a pic! Love it 💙

Stat of the day from @HenryDimbleby: 50% of the food we eat in the UK is ultra-processed, compared to 14% in France

[Callum Weir @CallumAgric]

Confused on how much carbon farms can potentially sequester? Wanna know how much agri-carbon could be worth? Interested in buying or selling agri-carbon, but still have lots of questions?

Then read this report, commissioned and funded by the @wwf_uk and @Tesco Partnership 👇

[Callum Weir @CallumAgric]

The @wwf_uk + @Tesco Partnership launch two new reports covering capacity of agriculture to reduce emissions and sequester carbon, and how these two pillars of net zero link to emerging agri-carbon markets.

Here are some of my highlights from the reports:

Really looking forward to this in the new year!

[Rob Percival @Rob_Percival_]

“This is an emergency – but you wouldn’t know it from the government’s new Net Zero strategy.

The strategy, as it relates to food and agriculture, is strangely devoid of urgency, and short on concrete commitments to agroecological solutions."

Those 1st two - risks to freshwater habitats and risks to soil health from flood and drought - are tackled in our new Water Strategy. Really important that farmers start building resilience now https://t.co/gQ8WeKFxMi

[Alice Ritchie @alicertchie]

Fascinating graphic from @theCCCuk's climate risk report from Wednesday - I often say that farmers & landowners are on the front line of climate impacts, but seeing that 5 of the 8 highest priorities for adaptation are related to farming/food/nature really drives the point home

[Alice Ritchie @alicertchie]

Absolutely thrilled to publish the @CLAtweets Water Strategy: a vision for the water environment to 2030!

This document takes a comprehensive look at the whole water environment, and land managers' roles in protecting it 💧🌍

Peatlands are an absolute powerhouse when it comes to storing carbon and so we need some strong policies to protect these precious habitats in England. The English Peat Action Plan has been published, and the CLA has looked into what it might mean here: https://t.co/gspxipVNlf

[CLA East @CLAEast]

.@alicertchie spoke this morning with @seandunderdale @BBCRadioLincs about the upcoming @CLAtweets water strategy. Our webinar this week - A vision for water to 2030 - will provide further details:
