In a world where most people say or think that; "if the solution is not complicated enough, it cannot be a solution" we proof differently. Simple solutions exist and most of them are ancient and pure wisdom. This world def needs more wisdom! #regreening #wisdom #lowtech #ancient #ecosystemrestoration #justdiggit 🌳

🌾🐄 Farming continues to be one of the most dangerous industries to work in, with farmers exposing themselves to extreme weather, a variety of animals, hazardous chemicals, heavy machinery, and large loads. They sometimes work at heights and in confined spaces. 💪 Farming is a lifestyle, not just a job, and when teamed with remote locations, it's easy to see why one of Australia's backbone industries can pose risks to the whole family. 🗓️ This week is Farm Safety Week and the message is "Stay on the Safe Side". For more information, including Farming Child Safety resources, head to the Farmsafe Australia website at https://farmsafe.org.au/ 🚜 #FarmSafetyWeek #StaySafeOnTheFarm #FarmingLife 🚜💚🌱

Sorry sir the goat ate my homework.. Strutt & Parker couldn’t have chosen a better venue than Cogges Manor Farm near Witney this morning. Home of the Cogges Heritage Trust, a charity that aims to provide a positive impact in its community by offering beautiful historic surroundings for people to enjoy and learn about the history of farming and the future of food production The presentations were wide ranging and, as usual, of excellent quality. But it was the section on Social Value assessment that was particularly thought provoking Social value is all about commitment to communities and in a rural context this would be looking at the ways in which land owners provide value to their communities This could be via permissive paths, provision of dog walking areas, benches, subsidised village hall leases or simply hosting the village fete As we all progress along our sustainability journey it seems likely that stakeholders and counterparties may soon start looking for evidence of social value, just like we have all become used to looking at emissions Like Carbon, its important to make some early progress- perhaps this could be in the form of establishing a baseline just like we are used to seeing with biodiversity or carbon The first step could be an attempt to quantify that value in pounds and pence. Like carbon and biodiversity is the next step monetisation? So what’s with the goat then? Well I have been to Cogges before on a university field trip, when my field notebook was eaten by a goat. Yes you read that right. I lost all of my notes to a curious and hungry goat. That’s a mistake you only make once I am pleased to say no notebooks were eaten in the making of this post unlike that day 34 years ago- I do all my notes on the phone these days! #sustainability #farming

Another nature-based solution for harvesting water in Haiti (and increasing the waterholding-capacity of soils) is vetiver grass, with its beautiful long roots! Free mulching every month and extra income from the fish raised in the water! #reimagineagricultureinhaiti #tobuildavillageinhaiti #harvestingwaterinhaiti
