Instead of #veganuary ,why not make a real effort to consider the overall impact of your diet - i.e. water footprint, chemical inputs - & try to eat as sustainably as possible for the next month. #plantbased foods aren't always the most sustainable option. Call it #Sustainuary

Did you catch Trinity's @olirubes at today's #SFI session at @CerealsEvent?🌾Here's his take-home advice for farmers.
"With some careful management, farmers can use their #SFI options to leverage additional value from the #naturalcapital they deliver, whether it’s accessing new income streams from the natural capital markets, accessing premium sustainable contracts, or obtaining better financial terms.
"This all hinges on availability of data, so good record keeping is key and is never wasted effort. If you can’t evidence it, you can’t get paid for it!"

Thank you.
Farmers, this is really important. We now have minimum standards for carbon footprinting recommended by Defra. If you're involved in a supply-chain project to measure your emissions and the tool being used doesn't meet these standards, I would encourage you to question this.
❗ @TheGrocer has shared an opinion letter from Dr Emily Pope, our managing director of knowledge and collaboration at Trinity Global Farm Pioneers, explaining why the reliability of the tools employed to measure carbon footprints in the food supply chain is a critical issue.

This may not be the most exciting announcement, but believe me, this is a HUGE step forward. There now IS a recommendation for minimum standards in measuring the carbon footprint of a farm or estate. A major reason for inaction has now been removed!
📣 Have you seen the breaking news that @DefraGovUK has published a report providing long-awaited guidance on standards and necessary analytical rigour for farm-level carbon accounting?
It culminates a year-long investigation and offers an in-depth analysis of the carbon assessment tools most relevant for food and farming. 🚜🌳
We’ve produced a shorter summary of the report, you can download it here: trinityagtech.com/defra-repo…
You can also read @TrinityAgTech specific summary of the report here trinityagtech.com/defra-repo… . Huge step forward for farming sector. Not least because it finally recommends ISO 14064-2 and ISO 14067 as key minimum standards. Trinity's Sandy software is only one to meet both!
Major news for carbon accounting on-farm 📢
After a year of investigation, @DefraGovUK has published a new report, providing much called for and awaited guidance on appropriate standards and necessary analytical rigour for farm-level carbon accounting ✅
