@EdinvaleFarm Eating quality is paramount in soft fruit and is always a subject at industry events.
@AngusSoftFruits have regular tasting sessions for staff and growers. @JamesHuttonInst have a raspberry tasting session at their fruit focus meeting every year.

Some pretty awesome jobs coming up on Scottish livestock farms doing some great work on regenerative agriculture.

Please get in touch if this is something you are interested in and I can point you in the right direction.

As a journalist, it's great being out in the field (literally). I had a great time getting to know @AlexanderBrews2 of Rotmell Farm and hearing how his ten year journey into soil farming is helping him feed his coos the eco way. https://t.co/ptXrIvNAx0

@AngusApples @howemill GM referred to ‘science’ without any references. Better in a field because it’s difficult to argue with what you see; if you don’t know what you are looking at it’s clear your argument doesn’t stack up. In complex living systems the role of science is to explain what’s happening

[Allan Savory @AllanRSavory]

We have known what is filmed here since mid 1960s but still cannot get world-wide adoption because of institutional & academic stupidity & opposition. Humanity is paying a high price tragically as we already see with mass emigration to Europe & US by environmental refugees

[William Houstoun @cairnhall]

@howemill Another great thread making the case for holistic policy making.

[William Houstoun @cairnhall]

@Edwardbloke @howemill @EdwdPrice @JoeWStanley This will always be context specific; the presence of predators will change grazing behaviour and protect the tastiest plants from overgrazing. This might, in some cases, be the most effective way to restore damaged ecosystems.
