Finally we have the Kunming-Montreal moment for #Nature!
By 2030:
30% land, freshwater, ocean protected
30% of degraded ecosystems restored
30B$ financial resources
A historical Global Biodiversity Framework to Halt & Reverse Nature Loss
#NaturePositive
Had a lovely crisp stroll around @NTBaddesley this morning, and not another soul in sight!
I was lucky to spend yesterday with The National Forest Company seeing some of the woodland management work they deliver & #SevernTrent funds. Tree & hedgerow planting, veteranisation of #trees, opening up rides & planting flower margins. Great for humans and nature alike!
#Nature can deliver an estimated 37% of the solution to keeping temperature increases below 2°C. However only c.2% of investment is currently directed towards nature-based solutions... #CASummit2022

🌱 Rain gardens in Enfield still looking spectacular!
(Reminder of importance👉A rain garden is a section of landscaping that acts as sustainable drainage. It helps reduce flooding and remove contaminants from the run off of the rainwater).
ALT Beautiful plants in Enfield rain garden
In this world of uncertainty, and, quite frankley, madness, it is very reassuring to go to the #allotment and pick my own beautiful #vegetables

This is a thread on the impact of price changes we were expecting as a result of government policy, Brexit and Covid before the war with Ukraine, plus those we’re now getting because of it. Stick with it. Everyone’s going to be hit hard by what the government is letting happen….
Is it still economically worthwhile to apply #fertiliser #nitrogen? Should I adjust my rate? Should I be exploring other options? Some answers are given in this new blog: ahdb.org.uk/news/blog/adjust…

I'm very pleased to get this out! There are also changes to section 3 #grass & #forage. Watch this space for more guidance on how best to deal with current sky-high nitrogen #fertiliser prices coming soon...
Updated #RB209 now online. It features many changes – including to the nutrient management principles and arable crops sections (1 & 4). To access them and for info on the changes, see our website: bit.ly/3ILdGsR

On the outskirts of #Birmingham is a beautiful place called Waseley Hills, which with today's #Weather, was glorious...have a peek through that gate
Something to think about while living through a pandemic with rising fuel prices, and increasingly wild weather...we are an ingenious species:

The sane voice of David #Attenborough
Good turn out for the Huggate #monitorfarm meeting. @Cereals_NE kicks off, tackling meaty subjects such as carbon footprinting, optimising nutrient use #farming rules for water, and managing #soils
Really great to see and talk to 3D people at the #ifsconf! They have done a great job of making a hybrid event so we can still learn from our international colleagues
The pure unadulterated joy on her face is amazing

Want to know how much your #yields might drop if you use less #fertiliser? Want to know how much money you might end up saving through reduced inputs? My clever colleague has built a calculator - free and easy to use! ahdb.org.uk/knowledge-librar…
The widely reported energy crisis has led to shortages of CO2 and #nitrogen #fertilisers. Here's how you can ensure you use the economic optimum for your farm: bit.ly/3qosQOq
