Congratulations to Andy Gray Farm Wilder on becoming a finalist in the prestigious BBC Food & Farming awards. Andy is part of the Devon Silvopasture trial with Rothamsted, Innovative Farmers Soil Association WoodlandTrust FWAG SouthWest Organic Research Centre southwestfarmer.co.uk/news/23805030.…

Had great 2 days with amazing team of researchers and funders discussing our CropGas and Carbograss projects amongst all other EJP SOIL projects

Great day sampling at FarmED! Investigating trade-offs and co-benefits for delivering healthier UK agroecosystems. Only broke one corer...🫣

Enjoyed a visit to Andy Gray's farm with our Colombians partners, visit funded by the The Royal Society

So many fascinating discussions about silvopastoral systems this week thanks to The Royal Society funding. It's amazing how much you can learn from passionate people who share the same interests as you! Rothamsted Research #CIPAV Colombia

A really busy week didn't allow me to thank the whole team behind this big smile. We are great together Rothamsted Research #Harpenden #NorthWyke Hounsfield Facility, and of course, Jade and Kate from FarmED I❤️ SOIL

We have had interesting days discussing results from out CropGas project to study the effect of tillage on greenhouse gas emissions, started with a welcome from the Dean of the school of Agricultural Sciences Prof. Thomson Kalinda

Thank you Zambia!

Can new approaches to agriculture reduce its greenhouse emissions? CropGas brings together researchers to compare traditional farming practices with new conservation agriculture techniques 📷Researchers in Malawi are taught to sample GHGs from plot experiments by 🇿🇦 colleges

🇵🇱 Agriculture in Poland is modernising rapidly, but the rise of industrial farming is already affecting soils. Emissions measured from the arable field (pictured) already show differences in GHG emissions from standard fields vs more nature friendly approaches. #EarthDay

🇿🇲 Sub-Saharan Africa is increasingly prone to drought and this will have significant effect on GHGs. This year, President of Zambia declared national disaster following severe drought linked to El Niño phenomenon 📷Prof. Elijah Phiri (CropGas) was interviewed on national TV

🇮🇪Regular ploughing leads to a depletion of carbon in soils. It is hoped that new conservation tillage techniques can reverse this trend. In rain-drenched Irish fields, lab analysis has found high levels of carbon in soils. #EarthDay #agriculture #soil #GHG CropGas

Gas emissions are affected by pore spaces within soil, CropGas are exploring this using X-Ray Computerized Tomography 📽️2mm grassland sample shows the pores (yellow) vital to soil microbiomes➡️healthier plant growth, water storage, nutrient and carbon cycling Uni of Nottingham #WeAreUoN

Looking forward to welcoming the NATI00NS team to campus today! UK Research and Innovation FUNDECYT-PCTEX

🧐A very interesting dataset from the main study was presented at the BSAS 2024 annual conference. 👉sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 🤔We found that under cattle 🐂 grazing #SOC was higher 📈than under sheep 🐑 grazing. 🔎Worth checking the Annex of this fantastic analysis!

Please see postdoc position at Rothamsted and shared with anyone who might be interested jobs.rothamsted.ac.uk/vacancies/754/…

Earlier this week we had a great day sharing with our colleagues at Rothamsted our research on atmospheric emissions, including inventories and fundamental understanding of mechanisms and influencing factors in these
