When Walkers analysed the carbon footprint of their crisp production, they discovered a big cost in drying out potatoes. Why were the potatoes wet? They paid farmers by wet weight, which created an incentive for farmers to increase humidity.
Solution? Pay by dry weight. 🧵

It's another double win.
If you install solar panels on land sheep are currently grazing, not only can the sheep continue to graze there, they're actually *happier* (because of the shade and more diverse vegetation), and they produce more wool.
Hmm, is that actually a triple win?
