Can we determine soil organic carbon #SOC without conducting detailed sampling? Using complex statistical models and freely available #satellite data, we estimated #SOC content at the paddock level using @Rothamsted @FarmPlatform long-term datasets 👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Rothamsted scientists have been accumulating datasets crucial for a sustainable agricultural future for decades @FarmPlatform. Now they want more researchers to make use of them 🐄📈💻🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬 Full story 👇 rothamsted.ac.uk/news/weve-got-…

Check out our very own Prof Andy Neal @microbass1 the first segment on this week's @SkyNews 'The Climate Show' with @tomheapmedia - talking about soils and climate down on our Devon 'farm lab' @FarmPlatform news.sky.com/video/the-clim…

Fun morning with the @SkyNews #ClimateShow team @tomheapmedia, @mickeycarroll0, and Martin Smith at @Rothamsted @FarmPlatform talking #soil and #soil_microbes. I'm assured all mistakes and expletives will be edited out by Saturday's broadcast.

All set up and ready to go! If you are heading to the @natsheep event @3countiesshows tomorrow, don't forget to come and meet our @FarmPlatform researchers at stand 149

Our SW livestock & dairy boards are visiting @Rothamsted North Wyke today - really great to have such a top research facility in the SW.

How can we minimise emissions from livestock farming without setting back global food and nutrition security? Research at @roslininstitute and North Wyke @FarmPlatform is showing us how livestock farming can be part of #NetZero plans orlo.uk/iqxCr @Rothamsted

Thinking of developing #agroforestry 🌳on your farm? What kind of support will you need? Please take part in our survey to help us better understand what👩‍🌾👨‍🌾really want @FarmPlatform @BristolUni @FWAGSouthWest @SoilAssociation @WoodlandTrust @OrgResCent docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Great to have our own Adie Collins @FarmPlatform speaking on #waterquality at the inaugural event for this new partnership
