Aisla Jones' report video How can retail and supply chains support demand for more sustainable aquaculture feed? sponsored by The Richard Lawes Foundation. Aisla's full report can be downloaded from: https://bit.ly/3RsNPNL ***** Executive Summary Background A constraint to the potential growth and long-term sustainability of global aquaculture in the coming decades, is the availability and sustainability of aquafeed (Naylor et al., 2021). Aquafeed ingredients may account for up to 90% of the environmental impacts and carbon footprint of farmed fish production (Little et al., 2018). In the last few years, many UK retailers and seafood companies have set ambitious carbon emissions targets as well as having broad responsible sourcing policies which include seafood. Scottish Salmon is the UK’s largest food export and a popular domestic product (Seafish, 2021). In addition, UK consumers enjoy a range of imported farmed fish species e.g., farmed prawns, seabass and pangasius. These species rely on feed made up of a range of globally sourced ingredients which contributes to the carbon and environmental footprint of the product. This project aimed to explore the environmental impacts of traditional and ‘alternative’ aquafeed ingredients and identify opportunities for retailers and seafood supply chains to support more sustainable feed ingredient production and use. Methods As part of the Nuffield study tour, six countries were visited: Brazil, Norway, Singapore, Thailand, USA and the UK. Visits and meetings were carried out with a range of aquaculture feed stakeholders including feed ingredient producers, feed manufacturers, fish farmers, researchers, seafood processors, seafood companies and retailers; a sample also participated in in-depth interviews. Results Through the study tour, examples of aquaculture feed sustainability initiatives were observed which may mitigate some of the environmental impacts of aquaculture feed production. Aquafeed data collection and certification was largely focused on ‘known risks’ i.e., environmental impacts of marine ingredients and soy. Stakeholders suggested that feed companies are currently leading work on feed sustainability. Limitations to working more on feed sustainability was largely lack of information and data regarding feed production and sustainability challenges. Finding sustainable alternative ingredients was agreed to be the main priority for future aquafeed sustainability. Discussion and conclusions Retailers and suppliers can support more sustainable aquaculture feed through: • Managing risks e.g., using data and certification; responsible sourcing policies • Supporting improvement efforts e.g., supply chain engagement, advocacy, and investment Although there are existing data and certification tools available to the supply chain, supply chains should advocate for improved traceability and transparency of feed ingredients to allow better understanding of feed ingredient production and associated environmental and social risks. An opportunity to support best practice and drive sustainability could be the creation of an independent holistic risk assessment tools focused on feed ingredients and in a format readily accessible to non-feed experts. More clear and consistent asks from aquaculture supply chains could encourage feed companies to prioritise feed sustainability when formulating feed. Collaboratively addressing responsible sourcing of aquaculture feed ingredients could support the long-term sustainability and availability of feed ingredients for the aquaculture sector. ***** Nuffield Farming Scholarships are awarded to approximately 20 members of the UK food, farming, horticulture and rural industries each year.

La dégradation des terres constitue une grave menace en Afrique, en particulier au Sahel, où le changement climatique, l’augmentation de la population, la perte de la couverture forestière et végétale et l’intensification de l’utilisation des terres sapent la base de ressources naturelles dont dépendent les communautés rurales. Les solutions pour restaurer les terres arides sont essentielles pour inverser la dégradation des terres et la perte de biodiversité et faire face aux effets du changement climatique. Il s'agit de retrouver les fonctions écologiques perdues en permettant aux communautés d'améliorer la productivité, la résilience et la durabilité de leurs moyens de subsistance en adoptant une combinaison de pratiques de reverdissement innovantes qui régénèrent les terres et restaurent les paysages. Lors de cette session de la Communauté de pratique, nous avons invité Groundswell International et SPONG à rendre compte de leur travail au Sahel. Ils expliqueront leurs méthodes et pratiques sur les territoires et dans les communautés et discuteront des réussites et des défis. Il y aura un espace pour les questions, les réponses et les discussions. Plus d’informations sur les organisations et les intervenants : https://www.groundswellinternational.org www.spong.bf Land degradation is a severe threat in Africa, particularly in the Sahel, where climate change, increased population, loss of tree and vegetative cover, and intensified land use undermine the natural resource base on which rural communities depend. Solutions for restoring the dry lands are vital to reversing land degradation and biodiversity loss and addressing the effects of climate change. It is about regaining lost ecological functions by enabling communities to improve their livelihoods' productivity, resilience, and sustainability by adopting a combination of innovative regreening practices that regenerate the land and restore the landscapes. In this session of the Community of Practice, we invited Groundswell International and SPONG to report on their work in the Sahel. They will explain their methods and practices on the lands and in the communities and discuss successes and challenges. There will be space for questions, answers, and discussions.

Within the European Union, there are more than 300 civilian and military authorities responsible for carrying out coast guard functions. There is therefore a need to ensure a close cross-border and cross-sector collaboration and coordination between these authorities in order to avoid duplication and redundancy of efforts and to build up synergies. In the EU and the European Economic Area, the European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA), the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) and the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) support national authorities in carrying out coast guard functions. To provide this support at national and EU level and, where appropriate, at international level, the founding Regulations of each of the three agencies were amended in 2016 with a common article on European cooperation on coast guard functions.

The role of body condition in maternal livestock in areas with extreme seasonal variability, sponsored jointly by The Royal Highland and Agricultural Society and the Worshipful Company of Farmers. Vic's full report can be downloaded from: https://www.nuffieldscholar.org/sites/default/files/2024-04/Nuffield%20Report%20-%20Vic%20Ballantyne%20-%20Final%20for%20Publication%20-%20March%202024.pdf ***** Executive Summary It’s no secret that commercial UK sheep and beef farms are hampered by high external inputs and labour costs. Coupled with declining government financial support, increased cost of production and market unknowns, there has never been a better time to reassess our animals and systems. Winter in the UK is the most costly time of the year due to high feed requirements. This couldn’t be truer than in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. With our long, growthy summer days and longer, dark, wet winters, managing the extremes of our pasture growth curve is challenging. Having robust and resilient animals is key to meeting this challenge. For decades we have known that good Body Condition Score (BCS) is essential in cows and ewes at key times in the year. Simplified, BCS is the physical and/or visual scoring of fat and muscle across the lower back of an animal. Recommendations exist for how to condition score and what score is desired at key times in the reproduction cycle. Good BCS is directly linked with better animal health, increased fertility and reduced feed requirements. These three things alone are enough to merit more attention on the subject. Not all animals are created equal and some are able to both put on and hold condition more easily than others – traditionally known as ‘easy fleshing’ animals. Significant worldwide research into the genetic component of BCS puts the trait at around 25% heritability. In practical terms this means genetic gain can be made relatively easily through recording and selection. I visited commercial and pedigree cattle and sheep producers in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Iceland and the UK. Those who had taken on board the message of actively selecting for body condition reported a number of productivity and animal welfare benefits. BCS can be manipulated by environmental nutrition and it is therefore a trait that is easily masked by preferential or excessive feeding. It was, almost universally, acknowledged by those I visited that the pedigree industry have not done enough to provide commercial farmers with bulls and rams fit for commercial environments. Though, equally, commercial farmers don’t do themselves any favours by supporting the status quo. It is essential that breeding stock are subjected to some nutritional and environmental pressure if we are to identify those with the genetic ability to put on and hold body condition. Those I visited reported that higher BCS became most valuable during tough periods – in either difficult winters or droughts. As our climate becomes more unpredictable, the ability of an animal to ride out the extremes will become more important. Though even in a normal season the genetic propensity to hold condition still presents plenty of opportunities, including increasing stocking rates. With this knowledge in mind and an eye on continuing research using new technology and information, it is apparent that there exists significant opportunity within the beef and sheep sectors to build herds and flocks fit for the future by prioritising body condition as part of the selection process. ***** Nuffield Farming Scholarships are awarded to approximately 20 members of the UK food, farming, horticulture and rural industries each year.

This research was undertaken by AHDB in collaboration with Basis Research with the aim to understand how we can optimise red meat packaging and labelling. Our analysis examines opportunities to optimise meat labelling to improve shopper purchase intent for red meat, as well as improve long-term perceptions of the industry. There was a clear preference to the hierarchy of what should be included on pack, regardless of the protein or cut. These could be split into three categories: 1. Inspire Inspiration was the biggest driver of purchase intent. Shoppers were drawn to images of tasty dishes; therefore, having strong foodie imagery on pack is essential. Consumers also found that having information on cooking times gave them more confidence – particularly for less familiar cuts such as lamb. 2. Inform on health and provenance Health and provenance information was liked by shoppers to help them make an informed decision about their purchase. Health is a driver of purchase, particularly low in fat and vitamin and mineral content. Highlighting British origin, farming methods such as grass-fed or free-range as well as any assurance schemes. 3. Reassure on environment and farming Information on farming and sustainability credentials was liked by lighter meat shoppers and those who were cutting back on their meat consumption. In previous research looking at the meat aisle, we found that these messages were most effective on point of sale at fixture.

A thought-provoking new book explores the potential of cultivated meat in beating climate change and extinctions Can cultivated meat – from stem-cells grown in a bioreactor – help us win the battle against climate change, extinction, and ill-health? Will it provide real meat but without the slaughter? And can it help save us from extinction? These are just some of the pressing questions answered by a new book, Cultivated Meat to Secure Our Future: Hope for Animals, Food Security, and the Environment, co-edited by two of Europe’s most influential animal activists, Michel Vandenbosch and Philip Lymbery. Bringing together an impressive group of experts, this readable and visionary book launched in the US and Canada, UK and Europe in November, 2023. It informs, inspires, and opens debates about cultivated meat which could be a game-changer in reducing animal suffering and helping solve the growing crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and the rise of ill-health.

Liz Cresswell's report video Cattle health schemes: what does success look like?, sponsored by the Central Region Farmers Trust. Liz's full report can be downloaded from: https://bit.ly/4a5FcOV ***** Executive Summary At a time when the livestock industry is under huge pressure to be sustainable and efficient, preventing disease is of critical importance to ensure that cattle are as healthy and productive as possible. There are a wide variety of cattle health schemes used throughout the world to prevent, control and eradicate disease in beef and dairy operations, and to identify herd disease status which have been applied with varying degrees of success. The UK is no exception; there are many different schemes and yet several preventable cattle diseases remain endemic. This study was undertaken to explore cattle health schemes in different countries and in different livestock systems. It aims to identify the key ingredients which underpin success and could be applied to the UK situation. Cattle health schemes should not be relied upon as the only means by which to determine herd health status. Success in controlling livestock health has also been achieved where formal programmes are lacking. A cohesive strategy is required in order to achieve disease control nationally but good status of health and welfare can be achieved at a farm level in the absence of wider support. Ensuring that the basics of animal health – suitable environment, adequate nutrition, the right animals for the system and preventative disease measures – are done well goes a long way towards reducing the impact of cattle disease. Controlling disease in a herd is only one of many pressures faced by the farming industry. Understanding the cost-benefits of cattle health scheme participation as part of a bigger picture can help to identify what ‘success’ looks like from different stakeholder’s perspectives; there are financial, commercial, personal, social and environmental factors involved in making decisions around animal health. Incorporating them into decision-making around cattle health schemes can help to embed animal health into holistic solutions for farm businesses. Frameworks can help to provide roadmaps for controlling disease but an adaptive, flexible process will help to facilitate successful outcomes; ‘one size’ does not always ‘fit all’ and excessive bureaucracy can be counter-productive. Regular communication can help to expedite success and collaboration is aided where partnerships exist: this is more readily achieved in smaller, more consolidated cattle industries, so collaboration towards shared goals is even more essential for the UK. Technology and data are creating solutions for animal health at a rapid pace and cattle health schemes will need to evolve to reflect this. They also provide excellent opportunities to reduce administrative burdens as well as both improve and demonstrate improvements to cattle health, building transparency and trust in protein production which is needed for farming’s societal acceptance and public approval. We are privileged to have the resources and expertise to implement cattle health schemes in the UK, and to reap the benefits. The ingredients for success are available to us, but we cannot rest on our laurels. A concerted effort is needed to push forward in implementing robust, successful cattle health schemes as a key strategic driver for achieving some of the world’s best cattle health and welfare and profitable farming businesses. ***** Nuffield Farming Scholarships are awarded to approximately 20 members of the UK food, farming, horticulture and rural industries each year.

In our efforts to mitigate and adapt to the pressures of climate change, few habitats are as versatile as the hedge. Whether it is in locking up atmospheric carbon, building soil organic matter, provision of shelter from the worst extreme weather or as habitat corridors across the landscape, when it comes to value for money, a hedge is hard to beat. With the Woodland Carbon Code now firmly established many in the sector have begun looking at the opportunities to capture carbon in other natural and semi-natural habitats and hedges are no exception.  In Scotland, the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust have taken the lead on the issue and have been developing the proposed Hedgerow Carbon Code alongside their partners - Alastair Leake joins us to discuss. Also joining us for the webinar is Dr Lorna Cole who will be discussing the nature value of hedgerows and how we go about raising the profile of our on farm linear features.

On the occasion of the UNFCCC COP 28 in Dubaï (United Arab Emirates), the 4 per 1000 Initiative: Soils for Food Security held the 6th 4 per 1000 Initiative Day on Wednesday, November 16th, 2022, in the Dubaï Dusit Conference Hall. The International Initiative 4 per 1000, launched by France on December 1st, 2015, at the COP 21, consists of federating all voluntary stakeholders of the public and private sectors (national governments, local and regional governments, companies, trade organizations, NGOs, research facilities, etc.) under the framework of the Lima-Paris Action Plan (LPAP). The Initiative aims to demonstrate that agriculture, particularly agricultural soils, can play a crucial role in food security and climate change. Supported by solid scientific documentation, this initiative invites all partners to state or implement practical actions on soil carbon storage and the type of practices to achieve this (e.g., agroecology, agroforestry, conservation agriculture, landscape management, etc.). The initiative encourages stakeholders to transition towards a productive, highly resilient agriculture based on the appropriate management of lands and soils, creating jobs and incomes, and ensuring sustainable development.
