@SouthEngShows mention of chatgpt led to this Openai response to the conference question https://t.co/ooKdFynCF0

@SouthEngShows Rock review https://t.co/dKkDa0lWZw - still on the desk? When will this be implemented?

[susan greener @suegonline]

@SouthEngShows both of our speakers at the annual farming conference spoke strongly in favour of LEAF https://t.co/uYTNeL1n4d

[susan greener @suegonline]

@SouthEngShows @suepritch advocates agro-ecology rather than regenerative farming. Wider definition makes room for diversity of land use.

[susan greener @suegonline]

@SouthEngShows @Farmerphil1 encouraged students to focus on land management. IT skills will make a contribution. Farmers should work with local colleges.

[susan greener @suegonline]

@SouthEngShows @suepritch considers growing food will always be vital and asks agricultural college students to use their energy and imagination to make this work.

@SouthEngShows global farm metric measures critical components in sustainable farming system (social as well as farm criteria) https://t.co/OuEd9mxa46

[susan greener @suegonline]

@SouthEngShows @suepritch imagines the future. As a country we take more responsibility for growing, eating less processed food, see fruit/veg growing closer to towns and cities and valuing relation of good food to sustainable health.

[susan greener @suegonline]

@SouthEngShows who pays for the kind of farming citizens want? ‘They want cheap food’ - this is the argument Governments and corporates cite. People want healthy food at a fair price but are confounded by labels - red/green tractor, fair trade, plant-based etc

[susan greener @suegonline]

@SouthEngShows who decides what we eat? @suepritch says UK and US are most dependent populations on processed foods - 60% of what we eat is processed.

[susan greener @suegonline]

@SouthEngShows diversity and scale of Uk agriculture works against a single government strategy. Need a clear direction of travel - delegates did not recognise this at present in UK

[susan greener @suegonline]

@SouthEngShows @suepritch talks about global players who seek to maximise value in respective countries - how does this fit with a UK strategy? We need frameworks not multi page strategies.

[susan greener @suegonline]

@SouthEngShows #farmingconference speakers are asking for leadership not just consultations on assorted strategies. Simple clear objectives and a plan to get there are needed.

[susan greener @suegonline]

@SouthEngShows What costs are associated with resilience in farming? Phil Jarvis speaks of the Regen pillars: 1) abandoning tillage, 2) eliminating bare soil, 3) fostering plant diversity, 4) encouraging water percolation into the soil, and 5) integrating livestock and cropping

[susan greener @suegonline]

@SouthEngShows Sue Pritchard discussing risk/reward balance in farming - all the risk to farmers?? What about commodity traders ?

[susan greener @suegonline]

Phil Jarvis, speaker at South of England annual Farming Conference, and chair of Albanwise Farming and Environment, advocates a strong business plan to allow farmers to maximise opportunities from SFI (Sustainanble Farming Initiative) @SouthEngShows

@SouthEngShows Sue Pritchard, chief exec of Food Farming and Countryside Commission describes her job as shaping the future but including the views of people around the country. The Commission was extended beyond its initial two years looking at sustainable change @SouthEngShows
