A big win for the #agroforestry movement in England today @RPA guidance on how & why to integrate farming and trees. Well done all @Ben_Raskin @chesshire_helen @Farm3Dwithtrees @SoilAssociation @wakelyns @FarmWoodForum @OrgResCent (to name but a few!) gov.uk/guidance/agroforestry…

Good blog on some solutions to the #nitrogen fix we are in

Antibiotic resistance is an inevitable global health crisis. Ending routine use in farming must be the global aim. @ASOAntibiotics @SoilAssociation
#AntimicrobialResistance is a growing public health threat we can no longer ignore, yet 65% of the world’s largest animal protein producers fail to disclose information on #antibiotics usage.
The time for investors to #ActOnAMR is now.

Perennial. Tree. Failure. @friends_earth @Ben_Raskin @forestsandwood @TheCCoalition. Food for thought with @ZacGoldsmith and @theCCCuk

Nice piece @nparveeng on protecting lichens with @nationaltrust you mention air pollution, but can we get specific - what's the cause... #nitrogen? @JennyHPlantlife @MarkNitrogen @WCL_News theguardian.com/uk-news/2020…

I just supported this case as we dont need more cheap animal protein - so so many environmental, ethical, health reasons not to go down this route. #Powys @ciwf

On the road to #fixingnitrogen we need #agroecological farm systems to help us move away from the pollution impacts associated with synthetic fertilisers @unep @MarkNitrogen @SoilAssociation @Love_plants @wwf_uk unep.org/news-and-stories/st…
Wow. powerful truth told here. I simply can't imagine this feeling, or for that of my children to have to ever experience. Swallow that @BorisJohnson
"We remember. Not in our heads, but our whole bodies."
If you only watch one thing today, make sure it's Lord Griffith's powerful speech on why we need to extend free school meals to over the school holidays.
Even if we get those trade commitments to #saveourstandards in the #AgricultureBill, our capacity to keep them high (or be 'world leading' even) is being undermined already. It relies on resourcing, monitoring and enforcement. Great report @Unchecked_UK
Brilliant @Unchecked_UK report shows effects of severe funding cuts at @NaturalEngland & @EnvAgency on enforcement. They need major capital & revenue investment at #SpendingReview to fulfil current functions, let alone deliver the #EnvironmentBill & #ELM.

This was kind of obvious from #NoDealBrexit, but I'm glad @WhichUK are spelling it out as a reminder of what is to come. That 40p/pack of butter is going to sting!
A no-deal Brexit will mean tariffs, and unless these costs can be absorbed elsewhere, it will mean more expensive food and an increase in your grocery bills. which.co.uk/news/2020/10/foo…
When does @MarcusRashford have time for football. He's stepped in to help run the country in the absence of any leadership.👏👏👏 (check his twitter page ⬆️)
"Not even clear that growing maize for energy is even climate-neutral, let alone tackling climate change" @Dieter_Helm dispels the anaerobic digestion climate-solution myths on @BBCFarmingToday. Further reading @feedbackorg feedbackglobal.org/bad-energ…
