“What I would recommend paying most attention to is the fibre content. Fibre is really important for gut and metabolic health, but most people do not get enough."

Does zero tillage lead to deeper rooting in wheat? Deep soil coring followed by X-ray imaging to find out at @UoNBiosciences @UoNHounsfield today @BBSRC
Delivering Sustainable Wheat retweeted
Finished taking deep cores from two more fields. Looking forward to X-ray CT image analysis to explore the effects of cultivation practices on soil structure and root architecture. @UoNHounsfield @UoNBiosciences @DSW_ISP @Rothamsted @BBSRC
