Six Inches of Soil 5m Books
& i wrote some extremely interesting 😁 chapters on issues such as regen, greenwashing, land sparing vs sharing, subsidies, food security, diets, regulations and more

Vegan columnist doesn’t like a movie.

Even more reason to watch Six Inches of Soil 🥳🥳

I recently asked a group of young people what % of emissions they thought came from livestock and they all gave numbers north of 60%. Shocked when I told them the real numbers (11% globally as per latest from GLEAM; under 6% for the UK.) And even these lower numbers are a gross

George doesn’t understant that the carbon cycle IS A CYCLE.

It’s absolutely fine for C to be cycling, that’s what it does.

In a healthy ecosystem CYCLING is what nutrients do…the only reason there is so much focus on storage is to offset long lasting fossil fuels emissions.

These guys aren’t big enough to help on the farm this harvest so we’re looking for some help. Experience essential, but we’ll also look after you well. Family farm, many crops, harvesting and planting. Southern hemisphere guys and girls considered too; come for the summer!

You can read this article and substitute Big Ag/Big Food lobbyists for Fossil Fuel lobbyists to see exactly the same playbook 👇🏼

Looking forward to meeting readers Old Hall Farm nr #Bungay next Saturday afternoon. A chance to see one of the farms that features in my latest book. Tickets: eventbrite.co.uk/e/meet-the-aut…

FARMER SUPPORT 🧑‍🌾

You don’t have to be feeding 100% pasture to your animals to be part of Pasture for Life. We support all farmers towards a better future, for farmers, animals and the environment.

We share knowledge on innovative practices and new research...1/2

Social media is now full of pet dogs worrying pregnant sheep or newborn lambs

Please keep your dog on a lead. It’s simple. ON A LEAD

Dogs are thinly domesticated wolves, however much you think they are a member of the family. The dog will be shot and that’s a stupid waste.

Horrible start to today. I'm distraught, just had poisons sprayed onto the emerging wildflowers that I spent this weekend identifying on my street 😭
This despite a (joke) climate declaration + promises Nottinghamshire County Council this area was safe. Devastated

If you have roles/share farming/contract opportunities available (ideally in Scotland/N England) let me know!

Weather extremes and food production. In this episode, we hear from Martin Lines Nature Friendly Farming Network, Gordon Fletcher University of Salford, and Cambridge University's Rachael Garrett and David Edwards.
