We are happy to be preparing for 2 new #VR #LTE experiences! One is the Glen Finglas LTE where Robin Pakeman James Hutton Institute is looking at the effects of #grazing on grassland #biodiversity. We will be visiting the site in two weeks to film for it. bit.ly/Gfinglas

We were excited to attend Groundswell for the first time, to meet with farmers, showcase the #AgroEcological #LTEs, & see people’s reactions to the #VR LTE experiences. We were also pleased to see some familiar faces! #Groundswell2025 #RegenerativeAgriculture #regenag

A key publication from the BIFoR #LongTermExperiment registered with us reveals how increasing #CO2 affects #forest growth. This can help us understand how to mitigate #ClimateChange. See the publication here: lght.ly/ljdk7ig

This could be a big deal for farmers and CO2 removal: the centuries-old practice of liming has long been counted as a major source of emissions, but with proper accounting it might actually help remove large amounts of CO2 from the air. newscientist.com/article/248891…
