This is a proper WOW result, twice the level of stocking for mob grazing against set stocking!
Combined with emerging science from the States on the carbon sequestration benefits of this method it's the future!
New research into #mobgrazing by @Rothamsted provides the strongest evidence yet that effective management of grazing systems is crucial, offering significant benefits for both farm productivity and the environment.

Just come across this bit of work by AHDB. Really valuable, practical and useful work. 👏
How arable and livestock farmers can 'stack' Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) actions to boost income.📈
Senior Economist Amandeep Kaur Purewal shares the latest analysis and the potential benefits of stacking SFI options. Read the analysis➡️ ow.ly/mfnM50Q73ab

Really excited to be hosting Peter later along with my Agrolo colleagues in Edinburgh for a screening of Roots So Deep. Check out the interview to see why Peters research could be so important.
🎤WATCH our interview with @peterbyck @CarbonCowboys about ground-breaking research, which shows that adaptive multi-paddock grazing is a carbon sink, cooling the planet. 🐄

Really good interview with @SoilAssociation @SoilAssocScot on broad policy and meat vs plant based debate.
@ffinlocostain continuing to generate really informative content vital for the land based industry. Check out the website.

Really exciting launch today of a new land based news channel. Curated by the excellent @ffinlocostain and colleagues in Agrolo. If you’re involved in the industry this is going to become your go to place to keep up to date. #news #8point9 #landbased 8point9.com
This sounds like an amazing opportunity. Regen farming, facilities, land, market opportunity. Spread the word. Chettle Estate, north Dorset. #regenag #regen @RootsToWork rootstowork.org/jobs/?job_id…
I’ve been helping a client with an exciting project to help preserve, connect and restore habitat as well as sequester carbon and engage community near Crianlarich. But it’s a public vote. Look at this beautiful visualisation and tell me you can’t get behind it! Pls Vote & RT.
@ASRainforest pls RT & vote!!Interacting this river network with existing Atlantic Oakwood at Glenfalloch could provide significant habitat improvement and resilience!
Delighted to have worked with a client near Loch Lomond to start what is a hopefully a long running landscape nature restoration project. But we need some votes first, check out the link below! Like and share at will. #lochlomond #riverwoods #climatechange linkedin.com/posts/alex-cara…

Slow to get to listening to this one. But a great conversation discuss nuance and complexity around “measuring” good practice. Fascinating and important conversation/ consideration for the future of agriculture. #regenerativeagriculture #regenag #carbon #ecosystems
NEW POD: Carbon tunnel vision 🌎🤠🌲🥩🥛
This condition creates a distorted perspective on agricultural land use & food production.

I'm joined by @AdeleSFT from @SusFoodTrust & @GFMCoalition & by @bright_ashleigh a food systems scientist from NZ.
Exciting day with @NatOrgSkill and #gabebrown @UnderstandingAg how about this: relative soil analysis for farms with differing practise d=diversity,s/syn=synthetics. Bottom system enough lb/ac to keep anybody happy. #regenerativeagriculture
Excited for this tomorrow!
The @UnderstandingAg team have arrived in Ireland! Gabe Brown, Allen Williams and Shane New are on Jonny Greene’s farm today ahead of our 3-day Soil Health Academy course tomorrow. 🇮🇪🇺🇸

25 years a wasps fan. Leota, Lol, Betsen, Ibanez, Howley, Gopperth, Launchbury, Willis. Incredibly sad. Navel gazing and selfish protectionism has got wasps and Worcester here. Let’s hope not the end for either and nobody else follows. #wasps
In light of our current financial situation the Men’s team have withdrawn from this Saturday’s fixture against Exeter Chiefs.

Something you love to see. Pidcock hair raising descent and Froome able to go for it. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Super exciting line up. How do you work out how to be in more than one place at once though?!

Ok twitter; best carbon calculator out there for farm/ estate use? Have been using agrecalc, but can't help but feel there might be better? #carboncalculator #regen
This looks epic... I know there's other things going on today which are seriously important but this subject is something that I get really excited by and it'd be great to see have this film as a bastion for British Farming's successes. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/six-inch…

@cycling_podcast gents, absolutely love the new friends special!! It’s great to hear you all be a bit self indulgent. I totally agree with the bit about being friends, bizarre though it is. Keep smashing out the top work. Thank you! @richardmoore73 @friebos @lionelbirnie

I love this and it’s amazing. Shows us what we should all be striving for!
In 1960, David Latimer planted a tiny garden inside of a large glass bottle and sealed it shut. He opened the bottle 12 years later in 1972 to add some water and then sealed it for good. The self contained ecosystem has flourished for nearly 60 years.
