@GreatLakesPeck Hard to ignore that trend. When the snowpack peaks this early it usually means tighter water later in the season, especially for farms downstream that depend on that slow melt into summer.

Looks like the record heat in the West is melting an already low snowpack fast with peak snow water equivalent has coming earlier than ever before - over 2 weeks earlier than the median peak timing. Distressing to say the least. nwcc-apps.sc.egov.usda.gov/awdb/basin-plo…?

@WSTAGCC في المزارع نلمس يومياً دور النساء في إدارة المياه بحكمة. إشراكهن في التخطيط والحلول المائية يجعل المشاريع أقرب للواقع وأكثر استدامة للمجتمع كله.

أكدت جمعية علوم وتقنية المياه الخليجية أهمية تعزيز الجهود لضمان توفير المياه الآمنة للجميع. وأشارت إلى أن النساء يتحملن العبء الأكبر في مواجهة نقص المياه، مؤكدة أن تمكين المرأة ومشاركتها في إدارة الموارد المائية ركيزة لتحقيق الأمن المائي والتنمية المستدامة. #اليوم_العالمي_للمياه

@kalromkulima Great focus on irrigation and water harvesting. Farmers in dry regions depend on these ideas. I always enjoy seeing practical solutions like drip irrigation discussed and shared across regions. This kind of exchange really moves agriculture forward.

Outgoing Mayor Anne Hidalgo championed a car-free agenda, leaving Paris greener, cleaner and better for walking and biking. Take a journey through the city to see how it's changed. Read more: bloom.bg/4slsxRs 📷: Getty Images

Useful dataset. In MENA these trade trends matter a lot for food security and planning. Curious to look closer at how cereals and vegetables shifted after 2020.

@nehaGurung1692 Well said. When I travel, I want to learn the real culture and food of a place, not staged clips for views. Northeast India has amazing traditions and people. It deserves to be shown with honesty and respect.

There are many content creators who enter Northeast India to increase their views and followers. Northeast people are simple and frank, but these people misuse that. Because of such content creators, we Northeast people are looked at differently. If one has no idea about the culture and lifestyle of Northeast India, please respect the boundaries; don't try to show something that isn't true. Everyone is welcome in Northeast India – showcase the rich culture, the warm people, delicious food, and vibrant lifestyle authentically. Let's represent Northeast India with respect and pride!

@SamaHoole Well put. Managed grazing has shaped landscapes for centuries. Take the animals away and the whole plant balance shifts fast. Doris and her friends are doing more ecosystem work than people give them credit for.

What people think sheep do to the British countryside: - Overgraze and destroy it - Strip hillsides bare - Prevent rewilding - Outcompete native species - Represent an outdated model that needs replacing - The reason the uplands look the way they do, and not in a good way What sheep actually do to the British countryside: - Maintain the open landscape that is the British uplands: it did not arrive by accident - Prevent rank grassland and scrub encroachment that reduces biodiversity to a monoculture - Create and maintain the short sward that ground-nesting birds require to survive - Participate in a nutrient cycle on land that receives too much rain, sits on too little soil, and is too steep, too cold, and too exposed to grow anything else - Support plant communities, including rare upland wildflowers, that only persist under managed grazing pressure - Have been doing this continuously since the Bronze Age The "rewilded" hillside without sheep becomes purple moor grass within a decade. Purple moor grass is a monoculture. Monocultures are the thing we were trying to avoid. Doris is not destroying the British countryside. Doris is the British countryside. She has been since before anyone had an opinion about it.

@Scivf4 Curious how much power each lamp actually produces. Using existing street poles for small wind generation could really add up in dense cities.

Some streets in china feature smart lamps powered by compact vertical wind turbine, generating energy even during cloudy conditions.

@kalromkulima Great initiative. Emerging pests are becoming a real challenge for farmers. Conferences like this are important for sharing practical monitoring tools and IPM approaches. Looking forward to the knowledge exchange around plant health and biosecurity.

@Agirite Not surprising 🐓 Poultry grows fast and needs less feed than cattle, which matters for food security. I’m curious how much of this growth is coming from local farmers vs imports across the continent?

@Agirite Great breakdown. In my experience record keeping is the hidden engine of herd growth. Track births, weights and feed and scaling from 20 to 100 goats becomes much easier. Many farmers skip this part.

**HOW TO BUILD A 100-GOAT FARM IN 18 MONTHS** Many farmers dream of owning 100 goats. Few understand the system behind it. Here's how to grow your goat farm to 100 strong animals in just 18 months using planning, breeding, and proper management. **A small thread** **Phase 1: Setup & Starter Stock (Month 1–3)** Start with 1 plot of land. Build raised pens. Install clean water and feed storage. Buy 20–25 healthy does and 2–3 strong bucks. Quarantine, deworm, and vaccinate every new animal. **Phase 2: First Breeding Cycle (Month 4–9)** Use controlled mating so most does give birth around the same time. Feed a mix of grasses, legumes, PKC, forage, and molasses. Monitor health, tag animals, and keep records. **Phase 3: First Kidding (Month 10–12)** Expect 35–50 kids if managed well. Feed pregnant does calcium and protein-rich diets. Wean kids at 2.5–3 months. Deworm and start creep feed. Keep the best for breeding, separate the rest by weight. **Phase 4: Second Mating & Grow-Out (Month 13–16)** Re-mate original does for a second cycle. Grow first batch to sale weight (20–25kg). Keep top kids for future breeding. Sell the rest. **Phase 5: Sales & Scaling (Month 17–18)** By now you'll have: – 35–50 breeding does – 3–5 bucks – 30–50 grow-outs – 100 goats total, ready to sell, breed, or scale further Market to butchers, farmers, meat buyers, and online. Farming success is built with systems. Not guesswork.

@talbotlabTSL Beautiful find. Always amazed how these tiny fungi turn old wood back into rich soil. Nature’s recyclers at work. Do you run into eyelash fungus often during your surveys?

The Pezizales being introduced by Gregory Bonito include beauties like Scutellinia scutellata- the eyelash fungus. #Fungal26

@AbiluTangwa So true 🌳 When traveling I love discovering wild berries, nuts and mushrooms people have gathered for generations. Forests really are nature’s food pantries. Protecting them also protects biodiversity and food heritage.

Saturday is International Day of Forests! 🌳 Forests are way more than trees — they're living supermarkets offering fruits, nuts, seeds, mushrooms, and wild honey. Nature's free, nutrient-rich pantry has fed humanity for millennia. Protect it. 🍓🍄🐝 #InternationalDayOfForests

@WBG_AgriFood Huge potential here. When over half the workforce farms, practical tools like drip irrigation, better seedlings, and farmer training can quickly lift yields and incomes. Curious which crops Guinea is prioritizing right now?

@TribalArmy Important reminder that forests aren’t empty land. Indigenous communities have managed these ecosystems for generations. Modern farming still has a lot to learn from that kind of land stewardship.

This circular thatched-roof village in the lush Amazon rainforest is home to indigenous people who remain uncontacted. Brazil's Javari Valley hosts around 100 such groups. Conservation isn’t just about saving forests, it’s also about protecting the identity and existence of these communities.
