Farmers gathering round to learn how to do a slake test from @soilhealthexprt @sectormentor #orfc19 #ORFC19 Image
1) Place a sieve of soil into a bowl of water for 1 min. Floating = lots of air = indication of high organic matter #orfc19 #soilhealth
2) Lift the sieve up and down gently 5 times to break the top and see if it’s breaking apart
3) Have a look at the aggregates which have fallen through the sieve into the bowl. Lots of break up= less organic matter
4) Use a 0-8 scoring scale to quantify
5) and here’s the scoring system! #Orfc19 Image

The @uk_aspen webinar on the future of the UK countryside is about to begin! Featuring a wide range of speakers including @NFUtweets @Natures_Voice @CPRE @CLAtweets @van_griffiths @EnvAgency @Minette_Batters

I'll be live-tweeting the session in this thread #agrichat 1/?
Sounds like a huge range of topics will be covered in this session including climate change, Covid, trade deals, supermarkets, biodiversity and more! @uk_aspen
First question: Can we put a value on accessing the countryside?

Crispin Truman of @CPRE: We need to talk about the positive value of the countryside, it should be beautiful and thriving for all. The countryside has intrinsic value, sweeping landscapes make us feel good. 2/?

Looking forward to this morning's webinar from
@NEFERTITI_EU on 'How to produce your own farm video to enhance knowledge exchange', particularly as I've carried out some research on this topic myself. I'll be live-tweeting for anyone who was unable to make it along :) #farming
Starting off with @tombas60, who has been involved in over 500 agricultural videos (wow!) and has discovered that they can be a powerful tool for knowledge exchange @NEFERTITI_EU
Why videos? @tombas60: videos are an authentic way of sharing the tacit, experiential knowledge held by various stakeholders and allow more people to engage with farm walks and events. Producing videos can also be simple and inexpensive! @NEFERTITI_EU

Whilst interdisciplinary work is enjoyable & exciting, it is also challenging and difficult. It is, however, vital due to the unprecedented times we face e.g. due to climate change, pollutants, flooding, Covid-19, equality/equity... @NicolaBeaumon17 @ValuingN #interdisciplinarity
If we are going to be transformative in how we work then we HAVE to step outside of our comfort zones and bring these disciplines together to truly tackle some of these huge problems we face @NicolaBeaumon17 @ValuingN #interdisciplinarity #AcademicTwitter
For example, when valuing the contributions made by saltmarshes, you need geography, governance, economics, ecology and modelling, psychology, social sciences, and art! We also need to bring in stakeholders, they are also a key part of the puzzle @NicolaBeaumon17 @ValuingN

The @ciwem webinar on nature-based solutions and the ELMs scheme has begun! I'll live-tweet key points in this thread. #agriculture #elms
First of all, we're hearing from Gareth Morgan from the @SoilAssociation who is going to try discuss whether farming itself can be a nature-based solution #britishfarming
Gareth Morgan: There are lots of land-sparing options (margins/rewilding etc) whereby some areas cease farming whilst other areas are intensified. Gareth argues that this may sometimes be a slightly 'defeatist' approach and that farming should co-evolve with nature.

I didn’t go to private school but would never judge anyone who did (if you’re in a position to give your child the best, ofc you’re going to). Having gone to a (pretty terrible) school, I do, however, feel disadvantaged around the privately educated for a no of reasons 1/?
I therefore think that the system must change: all kids should have the same opps regardless of their parents’ wealth; no-one should grow up feeling inferior because their parents didn’t earn enough. Scandinavia = best education in the world & no private schools #privateschools
This isn’t to say I agree with Labour’s proposal (I vote @TheGreenParty) but I don’t believe private schools are fair. You also have to be outstanding to get a scholarship but many ‘average’ kids would thrive given a better education.
