The @CCRI_UK are involved in a new #EU project @TerrasafeEU which aims🎯to combat desertification🏜️🌍 The website is now live! terrasafe.eu Register for updates & find out more info!🖋️📩 @UKRI_News @EU_ENV @EUClimateAction @HorizonEU @cachivers

📢Save the date! Join us on 27th Sept, 11:00-13:00 CET, for the public launch of TERRASAFE. Learn how our research will help local communities in southern Europe & North Africa by testing innovations for combatting #desertification🏜️ Registration link to follow! #HorizonEurope

🎉The TERRASAFE website is now live! Check it out here: terrasafe.eu 🔍Explore to find out more about #desertification and our research objectives, stay informed about our progress, access project outputs, subscribe to our bi-annual newsletter, and much more!

NEW PAPER: We report, for the first time, the scale of how many different pesticides are on sale in the UK and Ireland. Nearly 2,500 different pesticides are on sale in the UK, from 266 different active ingredients. With @DaraStanley doi.org/10.1016/j.dib.…

Sicily's farming heritage is at risk as drought linked to the #ClimateCrisis drives rapid desertification 🏜️ This reiterates the importance of TERRASAFE - we will test innovative solutions for combatting such #desertification. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

🔊New paper published in #areajournal by Lucy Barkley, @cachivers, @chrisshortccri, and Hannah Bloxham: 'Principles for delivering transformative co-design methodologies with multiple stakeholders for achieving nature recovery in England'. #OpenAccess doi.org/10.1111/area.1…

Encouraging to see the @NaturalEngland report highlight how nature-friendly farmers' efforts in creating quality habitats are making a real difference. With strong support & well-funded ELMS, more farmers can deliver these urgently needed results. 🌱🌍 👇theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Encouraging assessment of role environmental schemes can play in supporting efforts of farmers for Nature recovery in England. One finding is how advice & support for land managers can increase positive impact. That’s one of the things @NaturalEngland does publications.naturalengland.org.uk/publication/54…

@CCRI_UK @chrisshortccri @DefraNature @NaturalEngland @TonyJuniper @RGS_IBG @JanetHughes @DefraGovUK Enjoyed working w/Lucy Barkley, @chrisshortccri & Hannah Bloxham on this one - congrats, team! 👏

🎉Pleased to share our new (open access) paper, which draws on findings from our #ELM test and trial: Principles for delivering transformative co-design methodologies with multiple stakeholders for achieving #NatureRecovery in England. rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ar…

Interesting paper just out from @CCRI_UK - principles for delivering transformative co-design methodologies for #NatureRecovery in England: 'this paper explains how co-design efforts can produce potentially transformative outputs.' rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

MINAGRIS have been involved in developing science-based recommendations for an effective global #plastic treaty! @UNPlasticTreaty Full paper: #f0010" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 🧵1/9

Meet our pilot areas: Spain, Romania, Tunisia, Cyprus, & Italy! 👋 A community-led approach will be used to test social, technological, & nature-based innovations for combatting desertification 🇪🇸🇷🇴🇹🇳🇨🇾🇮🇹 Stay posted: our new website is almost ready to share! 💫 #HorizonEurope

Today's reading: how plastics affect carbon footprints in drylands across the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. #Plastic residues = concerning for #carbon footprints: 1) ⬇️photosynthetic carbon storage 2) High amounts can⬇️permanent carbon sequestration. tinyurl.com/34senf2t

🧵2/🧴 Researchers suggest that the #glyphosate breakdown product AMPA detected in European #rivers may be coming more from aminopolyphosphonates, than the #herbicide. Aminopolyphosphonatesused are used in #laundry detergents in #Europe but not in the USA🧺🧼

🧵1/ 🚨 New research reveals that #glyphosate in European rivers may come mainly from #wastewater, not #herbicide use. They reviewed the evidence and found that unlike in the US, #European glyphosate patterns in #rivers don't align with bad weather flushing them off fields ⛈️🤔

Delighted to announce I’m now full #Professor in Pedology @CranfieldUni! Thank you to fantastic, colleagues, collaborators, students, friends, family ❤️ If this first generation academic misfit can do it, then so can you! Academia needs more people like us. #soil

As part of the @RustikHEU project, we're working with @MonmouthshireCC to find out more about what people aged 16-44 think of living in, working in, and visiting #Monmouthshire. If you live in Monmouthshire, you can tell us more in this survey: app.maptionnaire.com/q/8jf8rfh6slm3 🧵(1/4)
