Legume fallow strips are still capturing light, feeding soil biology and pollinators. We’ll go again this autumn and make it work better.

It’s world carrot day 🥕
Did you know we only produce enough fruit & veg for 1/3 of the population to eat 5-a-day?

Hopefully we'll be able to explain in tomorrow morning's @BBCFarmingToday with @HillFT - we're speaking to Prof Jim Monaghan from @HarperAdamsUni about salad shortages
