“Nature can do amazing things, but if we separate ourselves from the land, we will lose that link, as well as the skills and experience of managing it for ever." @tom_levitt @RhidianGlyn @NFFNUK @fuw theguardian.com/environment/20…

We also heard from Teleri Fielden about her route into farming through a scholarship to run the National Trust farm of Llyndy Isaf. Now farming at Hafod y Llyn Isaf on a 10 year tenancy she said ‘We have to farm it as if we own it’

Achieving Net Zero& ⬆️biodiversity. If you want to run a project,do research, comms or consultancy work, there is a LOT of money kicking about. If you’re a farmer you have to scrape around for 30% capital costs schemes and put your own time in to get shit done on the ground🤯🖕

That’s us 🙌🏻! Great thread 👍

@bet_till @ThrimbyFarms I wish… paid for by the off-farm job haha!

@ThrimbyFarms @TeleriFielden not sure if you got funding Teleri?

Question to the people of Twitter. Does anyone know if there is funding available for building a classroom/meeting room on farm like the image below? ⬇️⬇️⬇️ We have permissions just wondering if there is help available? Please retweet and any advice welcome. Thanks in advance

🌱Env messaging to farmers: Keep no livestock but also have high yielding stock which produce multiple offspring but also have wildflower meadows for bugs but make sure it’s high energy grass but also plant trees but don’t sell carbon credits oh and be cheaper than the US. Eh??!

The Wildlife Trusts…say (dogs) waste carries diseases for wildlife, with growing evidence that the 3,000 tonnes of faeces and urine produced by dogs each day disturbs the balance of ecosystems at levels that would be illegal on farmland theguardian.com/environment/20…

Bit of extra carbon fertiliser & mulch courtesy of last years shearing for the newly planted trees 🐑💩🌱Diolch genod! Thank Ewes!

@AWP_BackCountry My point being- the article is about PFA’s and our production of them- the root cause of the issue that we should tackle is the production of them, not the subsequent inevitable distribution :( Even if we try to filter them via land management practices, they don’t break down 😢

This is terrifying (ban all PFA’s FFS?!!) However why is the picture agricultural when they are from ‘a wide range of consumer products, firefighting foams, waste &industrial processes’?! Revealed: scale of ‘forever chemical’ pollution across UK and Europe theguardian.com/environment/20…

@AWP_BackCountry Do you mean the distribution of the PFA’s i.e human created chemicalshit show? The distribution is done (according to the article) by humans into water cycles and subsequently soil cycles. But yes, seen as we’re part of nature, it ends up in us and other animals.

I used the word ‘Steakholders’ for a red meat/nutrion comms piece, and now I can’t stop using it instead of Stakeholders… Not good for a person who writes policies. (Although steak-holder does sound more fun 🥩)
