Last week I posted on a project in Powys to encourage & support new (young) farmers to develop a small-holding... this week the LibDems are making an interesting call for a framing equivalent of Teach First (called Farm First, of course).

If we need to become more self-sufficient in food for security & environmental reasons, this looks like (potentially) a great idea, provided the food system's domination by supermarkets can also be addressed!

What if the best crop protectors aren’t chemicals — but the viruses living inside fungi?

In this video, we explore how mycoviruses could become powerful, self-spreading tools for sustainable agriculture — reshaping plant health from the inside out.

🌊🌿 #Marine scientists and Chumash tribal leaders are successfully restoring #California's #kelp #forests through collaborative efforts that combine traditional knowledge with modern techniques.

Researchers have achieved significant successes including an 80-acre restoration near #LosAngeles while developing kelp #farming for #carbon capture and agricultural biofertilizers that could help California reach #netzero #emissions.

For me, always a good example to change perspectives and become decent in our anthropocentrism: this is a #farmer with cattle. #Ants developed #farming long before humans existed.

3. In recent years:

The emergence of hydroponics in eastern Gaza and Rafah to reduce water consumption.

Support projects from international organizations (FAO, UNDP) to rehabilitate cultivated land and establish new wells.

Improvement of drip irrigation methods and use of solar
energy to operate wells.

Preparations are underway to plant strawberries in the)
northern regions, specifically in a yellow zone that was confiscated by the Israeli army.)
