Great to see Hybu Cig Cymru bringing their Meat Minds group together on a visit to Rest Farm.

With @susfoodtrust.bsky.social the group discussed how sustainability fits into every part of the supply chain.

An inspiring session focused on shaping the future of land use #LUNZGrasslandProject

Thanks to our 44 farmers & cluster leads!🌱UKCEH have collected soil & vegetation samples using GFM/Agrecalc tools. Workshops to follow this autumn, and soil results early next year. Excited to see what the data reveals! #SoilHealth #AgTech #NetZero #ClimateAction

In front of them, several wooden stakes with red markings form a small square around a soil sampling probe or auger. The sky is overcast, and rolling green hills and trees are visible in the background.

From today's #DailyNewsDigest📰: "Acting now would allow the UK to “decide its own future” and must include three core transformations including more resilient farming, smarter land use and healthier diets." – @thegrocer.bsky.social

UK food needs radical and urgent transformation, new study finds
The report, The Roadmap for Resilience: A UK Food Plan for 2050, has said that if there is no action the UK will lurch from crisis to crisis, including from food price shocks, climate disasters and weakening economic productivity
