Main conclusion from #rsfarming on #sustainableintensification? Our ideas of distinct farm

For me #sustainable intensification in #agriculture (in UK) is definitely about new #tech and real
#innovation. Not just BAU+ #RSFarming
Expand
Pretty intense Q&A at @royalsociety seminar on, you guessed it, sustainable intensification
#RSfarming Be open to all forms of #farm systems

@reedmtweet people now less sensitive to how their food produced, do sometimes now see

#RSfarming Nagoya protocol - to be ratified this summer. Will it impede research on genetic
resources? DEFRA not currently concerned
Expand
Natural environment inextricably linked to food production. Should this be highlighted to
consumers? #RSfarming
Expand
David Baulcombe, breeding in tomatoes, new technologies and GM will allow us to diversify
agriculture and cope with challenges #RSfarming
Expand
Defra need research by innovative farmers and growers to explore that question #RSfarming
Expand
Janet dwyers, theres increasing market for local diverse products. E.g. Local diverse cheeses have
made it big #RSfarming
Expand
What can we do to ensure there is a more diverse market for new products? We buy what we know
#RSfarming
Expand

NFU farmers are already using technologies such as GPS to deliver very precise farming
#RSfarming
Expand
And ammonia from agriculture and other pollutants! #RSfarming
Expand
David fowler FRS, carbon emissions from farming increasing, does not see sustainable
intensification as something on the mend #RSfarming
Expand
@reedmtweet farmers must think in terms of future resilience as often family owned and cross
generational businesses #RSfarming

Les Firbank, beginning to see this in UK extreme weather in past year. Will have to learn from
organic farms and rely on soil #RSfarming

How can agriculture perform if the capital base is entirely eroded? The apocalypse scenario!
#RSfarming

Defra, production choices can be improved through education #RSfarming
Expand
NFU no way we can eliminate 30% of food waste, its consumer habits and demands #RSfarming
Expand
Janey Dwyer, increasing consumer awareness important, and also adapting supermarket criteria so
less than perfect food not wasted #RSfarming
Expand
Elephant in the room? The role of the consumer in sustainable intensification. If people just waste
less food can we not achieve? #RSfarming
Expand
David Baulcombe, it is policy but it needs a good technical application #RSfarming
Expand
Is this a policy question or a mind set among landowners? Interesting, who are we really aiming to
influence? #RSfarming

Martin Haworth (NFU): people need to realise that we reached the heights of intensification in the
mid 1980s #RSfarming
Expand
NFU we need to improve self sufficiancy, and there is a growing demand for more local produce
#RSfarming
Expand
NFU produce more, impact less. We got there first with this sustainable intensification idea!
Farmers are behind this. #RSfarming

RT @RSocLive: Les Firbank is discussing the trade offs between intensifying and reducing carbon
footprint of farms. Tricky. #RSfarming
Expand
Farmers prefer land sparing to land sharing, says Firbank (see

growing-more-food-on-less-land …) #RSfarming

Different farming sectors have different possibilities to achieve sustainable intensification arable
sectors have the best chance #RSfarming

Les is discussing the trade offs between intensifying and reducing carbon footprint of farms. Tricky.

Les Firbank cuts straight to the chase: sustainable intensification is NOT happening consistently
across UK #RSfarming
Expand
And onto Les Firbank. Is sustainable intensification real?! In the mind of farmers? #RSfarming

Pillar two of CAP is a very good toolkit, has huge potential as a policytoolkit but frustratingly thus
is currently not utilised #RSfarming
Expand
All agric systems must incl 'building environmental resilience' Cannot intensify without it
#RSfarming

UK Government view: the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is an anachronism... and one that
costs 0.5% of GDP #RSfarming
Expand
The extent to which the current CAP subsides and rules achieve these things is contested
#RSfarming

CAP should provide income support, support to the sector and maintain basic environment and food
quality safeguards #RSfarming

Sustainable intensification is NOT a trade off, it is about using science and technology to make the

If we are to get more from the same peice of land then we must find a way to intensify, land sparing
or land sharing #RSfarming
