Toxic Effects of #Glyphosate: Kills beneficial gut bacteria & allows pathogens to overgrow. Chelates iron, cobalt, zinc, manganese & interferes with synthesis of aromatic amino acids & methionine. Leads to depletion of glutathione, critical neurotransmitters & folate.

Did you know… "For every 1 percent increase in soil organic matter, we sequester 8.5 tons per acre of atmospheric carbon." - Eric Toensmeier, The Carbon Farming Solution #soilhealth #soilsolution #carbonsequestraion #regenerativeag

In 1943 scientist Sir Albert Howard warned wide use of chemical fertilisers would be 'great misfortune for mankind' #organic #BiodiversityCrisis In 2020 Rothamsted Research proved him right. How much soil damage and #biodiversity loss in that time? Soil Association Sue Pritchard

Farmers, what do you think about #herballeys? Have you tried them? Have they established well? Thinking of introducing into grazing platform but not sure where to start? We gathered impressive array of key people to think through how to make them the norm #FABulousFarmers

This stretch of creek hasn’t been grazed in years. Continuous grazing and loafing along creeks by livestock isn’t good but neither is this. I see more plant diversity and somewhat better bank stability on intermittently grazed creeks.

This farm has never looked better or been more biodiverse… two pairs of curlews with chicks, barn owls, otters, pied flycatchers, stoats, weasels, peregrine falcons, roe and red deer, cuckoos, hobbies, kestrels, sparrow hawks, buzzards, herons, etc etc and 200+ plant species

Did you know that methane produced by dairy cows is a short-lived gas that forms part of a natural cycle? Find out more about #dairy and the #environment in the video series ‘Our Food and Our Planet’ Here: youtube.com/channel/UCboIm… #sustainability

All the best croplands are former grasslands not forests The use of #glyphosate is used to kill cover crops in even some of the best #notill systems It’s much easier to regenerate the land by going back to a diverse grassland savannah harvested by ruminants

Great TEDx talk by ffinlo Costain redressing the common misunderstanding about GHG effect of methane from ruminant animals, at the root of warped policy creation we’re seeing and =>poorer nutrition Full TEDx talk here youtu.be/O9Ed84v_C5k #nutrition #regenerativeagriculture

Dry cows #balegrazing on arable ground, advantage of running a livestock enterprise on an arable estate, lots of space to winter cows stay clean with minimal soil damage, spreading fertility across a large area #healthycows #soilhealth
