@jruddchemist @CeicWales Check out @LocavoreCIC who are already doing this and my tweet to them of 1 April mentioning FH King’s Farmers of 40 centuries on the topic https://t.co/6Mjz6BpMjc

[John Meadley @ryefordmill]

@LocavoreCIC Following in a good tradition. Have you read FH King’s Farmers of 40 centuries re farming in the far East in the early C20th https://t.co/6Mjz6BpMjc? In ch 9 (starting page 171) he notes all human waste in China was collected & returned to the land.

@suepritch @FT @FFC_Commission @ProfTimJackson @CUSP_uk @PastureForLife This infographic from the IPCC reminds us to keep an eye on what is happening below ground and the benefits of both trees & pasture both alone & together. I have added the first two stanzas of the @adamhorovitz poem “Mob Grazing” from @SoilNeverSleeps. @Pastureforlife

@alextomo @alextomo Thanks for your thoughtful piece on the loss of birdlife. Can I encourage you to take a look at https://t.co/tnvCh4oERb where every two weeks one of our @Pastureforlife farmers shares the biodiversity on his/her farm. Here is the most recent https://t.co/KaUBqdvKym

[Dr Anna Krzywoszynska @Anna_K_speaking]

Looking for farmers willing to have some undergraduates sample their soils - great opportunity to show what it's really about to some yong minds! If you are interested pls send me a direct message!

[Fidelity Weston @romshedfarm]

The @PastureForLife is showcasing farm biodiversity https://t.co/WwNDZkdc64 . It got me thinking back over the last 37 years on what we have done due to @DefraGovUK @DefraNature @NaturalEngland grants. I hope future farmers can benefit in putting in nature`s infrastructure.

Moved the mob onto mountains of pasture and these ones are choosing to go for the field maple ⁦@PastureForLife⁩

Uncut verge awash with insects, cattle on the move to next pasture, swallows wheeling overhead, this is summertime ⁦@PastureForLife⁩ ⁦@Love_plants⁩ ⁦@Natures_Voice⁩

[Pasture For Life @PastureForLife]

⁦@CotswoldBeef⁩ we’ve planted 1000’s of trees over 30yrs which the cattle can now take advantage. They provide shade and they graze low branches,weeds,grasses and brambles beneath. They also browse the orchard once apples are picked. #agroforestry #biodiversity #bethechange

[Pasture For Life @PastureForLife]

⁦@CotswoldBeef⁩ celebrate the variety of insects that thrive on our farm. Photos taken today of the delicate marbled white butterfly, the RARE duke of burgundy butterfly, glow worm and a newly hatched spider. Check out those eyebrows! #diversity #farmingwithnature #organic
