So lucky to be able to talk wonderful walk through #HNV High Nature Value farmland and woodland within 5km of house. Always makes we think how can we sustain and support the communities who maintain these landscapes across Europe? 1/2

Dry lie- Burren's 700m-thick limestone bedrock upon which the cattle outwinter, acts like a storage heater, absorbing summer heat, releasing it over winter. Thin soils which cloak this bedrock rarely get muddy, hence the clean appearance of outwintering stock #FarmingHeritage

Too rushed, too weak, too much money at play! The @Europarl_EN should not proceed with the vote on the #FutureofCAP this afternoon! You cannot just wipe greener CAP amendments off the table! @IratxeGarper @CiolosDacian @ManfredWeber @ph_lamberts @SkaKeller

New report on the Biodiversity impacts of the Common Agricultural Policy 2014-2020. As expected, it points at the poor support given to #HNV farming, but will the #futureofCAP remedy this? @MaireadMcGMEP @lukeming @ClaraAguilera7 @MartinHaeusling ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info…

I’ve just done a quick calculation and the total ground area of our hedgerow is over 5.5 acres, and because we don’t flail most of them, the canopy cover will be at least double that. A valuable, important habitat for mammals, birds, invertebrates, mosses, lichens & wildflowers.
Our small 300ac family farm has.. 6.5 miles of hedgerow 4.5 mile drystone wall 2.5 mile beck 13 acre ancient hay meadow 2 ac pond 10 ac ancient oak woodland 4 ac species rich moss Help us to maintain it by supporting UK family farms 🙂 #WorldWildlifeDay2019 #WorldWildifeDay

Impressive video reflecting the reality of #HNV wood pastures, which are vital for extensive livestock farms but are neglected by policies like #CAP youtu.be/6nZpj9wvI18

Support to #HNV farming can well come through #FutureofCAP eco-schemes. It is after all the rural landscapes Europeans love, says Humberto Delgado at @HNVLink conference.

As this article shows, all #grasslands or management are not equivalent when it comes to #biodiversity. #CAP needs to recognize the importance of farmland management, especially for #HighNatureValue #farmlands. #HNVmatters #HNVpolicy #naturefriendlyfarming x.com/Wagner__Markus/status/…
