In the EU, the majority of crop land and grain are used to feed animals mostly reared in factory farms. This is such a waste of resources, and bad news for animals confined in unsustainable, intensive systems.    The EU can reduce food loss and feed more people simply by ending its use of grain to feed factory farmed animals.    Call on EU leaders for a fair food & farming transition.

Agriculture's definition has remained largely the same since Biblical times—farmers clear land, plant seeds, and harvest crops. But now, there's a growing push to include saltwater farming, especially in vulnerable coastal areas. This shift could restore wetlands, boost climate resilience, and empower coastal communities, all while enhancing agricultural production. A win for people and the planet! 🌱🌊 #SaltwaterFarming #SustainableAgriculture #ClimateResilience #CoastalRestoration https://hubs.li/Q02ZX8wz0

A privilege to be included in an inspiring ITN story focused on resilience within agricultural systems. A subject put forward by our fantastic Natasha Smith at Innovation for Agriculture. This is a positive news story, one that highlights how farms can be at the forefront of solutions to some of humanity's greatest challenges: climate change, biodiversity loss, and sustainable food production. By showcasing innovative practices and projects including The Climate Farm Demo and ClimateSmartAdvisors, this program shines a light on how agriculture can drive resilience, protect ecosystems, and create a brighter, more sustainable future. If you're passionate about sustainable farming or have stories of farms leading the way, now's the time to get involved. Let's amplify the message: agriculture is not just part of the problem; it's a vital part of the solution. Join us on Wednesday 11th December to see how Farming is part of the solution to water pollution. An event with increasing importance as storm Darragh approaches. #Sustainability #ClimateAction #Biodiversity #Agriculture #PositiveImpact #Resilience

🌱 Climate change is real, and it's hitting our farms hard. But are Nigerian farmers ready? 💡Did you know? Less than 30% of Nigerian farmers are aware of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices. These methods, from greenhouse farming to water-efficient systems, are vital in protecting our future food security. Together, we can spread awareness and build a sustainable, climate-smart future for Nigeria’s agriculture! 🚜🌍 #ClimateSmart #SustainableAgriculture #GreenhouseFarming #csa #NigerianFarmers #ClimateAction #thelushculture
