I don't know how we will reverse biodiversity decline in the UK.
But I can tell you two things that won't help.
Denying the problem.
Shouting ay land managers on social media.
Great myth-busting thread on the link between ruminants and climate change.
*PREVIEW* - it covers GWP* and highlights the positive role ruminants can play.
Worth a read! Nice work @Rob_Percival_ 👏

Had a great opportunity to present some of our @wwf_uk work on the future of feed to this forum yesterday, and have some candid, progressive and collaborative discussions after. Only shame was not to be there in person, but thanks for having me virtually @NFUCymru!
Been thinking this a lot - why are so many in the ag industry criticising the SoS for suggesting we eat more locally-produced, seasonal produce?
Join us *NOW* to discuss how we can finance nature-friendly farming in the UK!
Perhaps now is as important as ever to ask - How can we finance nature-friendly farming?

Great thread + positive messages from @wwf_uk on the role of sustainable agriculture in addressing climate change and nature loss to ~250k followers (plus also on other socials).
Today, we're talking about #RegenerativeAgriculture 👨🌾
Regenerative agriculture means shifting from intensive agricultural practices to those that restore and improve the health of ecosystems and soils. It also helps to mitigate #ClimateChange! 🌱

Horrific.
Notwithstanding the unimaginable suffering these animals endured, this is another example of how environmental collapse is leading to the collapse of our food and farming system.
This should be the priority when we talk about food security. Yet...

Enabling farmers to deliver for the environment, for the benefit of farming, food security and society, should be the collective aim for farming unions and eNGOs alike.
The evidence is there, yet we continue to fail at the expense of everyone.
