“Welsh people have a real understanding of how wonderful peatlands are and it is tragic that 90% of these treasured habitats are now in an unhealthy state. Peatlands have the power to help lock up carbon and help wildlife recover' says Iolo Williams 👇

Excellent summary that addresses the misconception that the two SFS 10% rules means taking 20% of land out of production 👏 It’s a lot more nuanced than that. SFS still needs work, but when debating and protesting it’s so important to get our facts right 👍

The National Farmers' Union have started using the line that the Defra UK environmental land management (ELM) schemes in England ‘have nothing to do with food production’

🤔

Seems a bit iffy to me. To use an agricultural saying, you might even say it was total 🐂💩

Here’s why 🧵

Great thread

The only gap in the plans is the exact amount of money farmers will receive. But this is out of the Welsh government’s hands. It’s waiting on the Westminster spending review. Who controls the spending review? Ah yes, Rishi Sunak.

Up to 90% of Wales is farmland, so their role in restoring nature is vital.
Without sufficient funding, farmers won't be able to undertake the variety of actions needed by the SFS to help restore nature and make farmers more climate resilient.
