I recently toured the amazing Apricot Lane Farms aka #TheBiggestLittleFarm in #california. So valuable to visit a farm pushing the outer limits of #regenerativefarming and adding value, to help identify those areas that are, and aren't, transferable to all farms at scale

#Nuffieldfarming jetlag delirium.. sat bolt upright at 3am, thought I was at Ruth McCabe and the hand stroking my back must be that of Dr Tom Young. 'Don't panic, Tom's a sound guy, he's probably just being supportive' I thought to myself. Turned out I was back at home 😅🤭🙏

The #Ag industry does an amazing job convincing farmers the only way to 'feed the world' is with high input Ag. But in #Iowa I saw millions of acres of mostly soybeans grown for biodiesel/cattle feed, and corn grown for bioethanol. It doesn't make any sense to me #Nuffieldfarming

Thank you to all the awesome people that gifted me their time, hospitality and fun to make my #Nuffieldfarmimg #US trip so memorable. Ruth McCabe Mitchell Hora Loran Steinlage @NEIowaAgEng among many, many others! #Iowa

Introducing my #Nuffieldfarming mentor and #Farmersweekly award winner Jen Hunter Fernhill Farm / Fibre !!

Arrived in Cardiff for the annual #NuffieldFarming conference, early enough to grab a bit of local brew with Chris Taylor. He reckons he's having a few to build up the courage to streak at the stadium 🤥 let's hope it all chat

#Nuffieldfarming going global. It's been lots of fun this morning participating in a webinar as a speaker and panelist on 'carbon credits enabling sustainable agriculture' in #India where this is a very nascent area

#India is exploring the potential of #carboncredits to incentivise #regenerativefarming . I shared with them some of what I've learnt so far on my #Nuffieldfarming journey, a short recording here: youtu.be/PLQLOcm7yGc looking forward to visiting in the Spring!

Enjoyed making these with the new toy over Christmas... Great use of old #venison out of the freezer! Ven+feta+thyme 😋

A good paper highlighting some of the challenges of soil #carbonmarkets #Nuffieldfarming

Interesting chat with a #Tesco employee just now. They told me the real reason there's no #eggs in store isn't because of #AvianFlu as the tesco bosses would have us believe, it's because they won't buy eggs from farmers at the price increase needed. About right, or misinformed?

Another great #Nuffieldfarming trip to Northern France, consolidating existing insights on soil carbon markets. So valuable travelling with UK, French and Brazilian scholars, cross fertilising ideas. Reassuring to know these capable, smart people are the future leaders of Ag 🙏
