How do you reduce risk for farmers who want to experiment with more sustainable farming practices? One option could be collective farm insurance. Read about this @AFNnetwork project which is looking at designing a new model for how this could work ⬇️ agrifood4netzero.net/news/designing…
Industrial agriculture is a big contributor to the climate crisis. We need to turn our attention, and funding, to other ways to produce food like agroecology which shows a clear pathway to a resilient and healthy future of food. bit.ly/3TQ3F4n
There’s no food security without resilience🌍🌾 As @charlietaverner says, “shrinking harvests are a real threat to food security, but focusing on production will not shield us... building resilience means changing how we farm.” Read his blog in full👇 ffcc.co.uk/conversations/…

"Conflict is a main cause of hunger, and I'm seeing more and more and more of it being used as a tool of war - and the people that suffer most are always children...We've never seen children pushed into malnutrition so quickly."

"Agroforestry offers a win-win: Trees provide shade & shelter, reducing stress & improving welfare 🌳🐑🐮 Diverse tree fodder from agroforestry boosts nutrition & health 🌱 Soil health is enhanced, better drainage, reduced erosion & runoff.
📢Applications now open for this year’s funding! We’re awarding a total of £600k to projects that address agri-food’s transition to net zero. £50k per project. Deadline: 5pm, 30 June Find out more ➡️bit.ly/AFNfunding
This isn’t a cost of living crisis. It’s a cost of inequalities crisis. As a result of policy choices.

Great opening session at the #AFNBigTent from @suepritch on the FFCC’s “radical and practical” work and theory of change
Really appreciated Angelina’s point about the agricultural sector risking “preparing for a future that looks like today, and being grossly underprepared for the future when we get there”

"We are having to work increasingly hard to confront the simplifying polarising populism that toxifies our public discourse." @suepritch on the work of the @FFC_Commission and navigating increasing uncertain and turbulent times. #AFNBigTent
100%. It's not sexy and the idea is as old as the hills, but this report from @ruminanthw indicates around 10% methane emissions could be cut through improved health & welfare, which then provides a better platform for genetic & feeding interventions...ruminanthw.org.uk/actingonmethan…

Anyone fancy coming on my agronomy tour? First up grazed wheat vs ungrazed. Yellow rust and septoria needing treatment in the ungrazed. No T0 for the grazed.
Birds, beetles, bugs could help replace pesticides: Study "researchers found that predators were more effective at pest control in regions with greater rain variability—which is expected to increase because of climate change." 🐞🕷️🐦phys.org/news/2024-03-b…

Thank you! A big thank you to everyone that generously donated to our #BigGive fundraising campaign, where incl gift aid & match funding, we raised almost £10,000. Thank you to those who kindly donated and/ or promoted the campaign We will stop bombarding social media now 😃
I hate videos of me, but pls make my cringing worthwhile by donating and sharing, before midday on Thurs! Thank you I found myself wanting to say ‘Flash, we only 14 hrs to save the earth’ (an old reference for the Flash Gordon fans amongst you), but managed to avoid it 😊
The final countdown! We’re in the last 24 hrs of our #BigGive fundraising campaign. Pls donate to support our work on the #RightToFood - by midday (UK time) on Thurs 25th April - for your donation to be doubled. Here’s our Exec Director @dan_crossley 🙏 donate.biggive.org/campaign/a0569…
We’ll stop our social media bombardment soon I promise. If you’re in a position to do so, pls do donate before midday today, as it’s such a great opportunity for us. For any £50 donation, if gift aided too, we will get £112.50! 🙏
The final push! Just 2 hours until the rare opportunity for us of match funding closes. Thank you so much for your support to date. Any final donations via #BigGive before midday will be doubled, enabling us to do much much more. Thank you! Pls donate here donate.biggive.org/campaign/a0569…
But consumption emissions aside, there's another problem. Every country totalling between 0-1% of global carbon emissions - which includes many of the world's richest countries - adds up to 29%. That's more than China, which totals 27%. climatewatchdata.org/ghg-emissions?…
Also, the UK was birthplace of the industrial revolution, so we've been emitting longer than anyone else. Which means we're in the top 10 emitters of all time. All our carbon is still up there, contributing to temperature rises today. youtube.com/watch?v=6zP0L6…
Sure, the UK makes up just under 1% of global *territorial* emissions, ie emissions within our borders. But @wwf_uk research shows when you include consumption emissions - eg imported fossil fuels, international flights, manufactured goods - our carbon footprint nearly doubles.
Believe that we need to hold UK Gov to account on its duty to nourish its citizens? You have until 12pm on Thursday to support our work on the #RightToFood. Every penny you donate will be doubled by @BigGive #GreenMatchFund! 🙌 donate.biggive.org/campaign/a0569…
⏳ 1 day left to have your donation DOUBLED! We've raised just under £25,000. Help us make the final push and secure all the matched funding available. 💚Thank you to everyone who has supported us. Donate now to #FeedTheSoil and rebuild soil health 👉 ow.ly/AfVX50RmXsT
