Greensect’s Post

Greensect focuses on the black soldier fly (BSF), known for its high protein content and is considered an ideal candidate for sustainable feed production.

Greensect is actively contributing to the transformation of food waste into a rich source of protein. As Bangladesh's first commercial-scale insect farming company, Greensect aims to help farmers reduce costs while promoting environmental sustainability...

Have you seen it? I did something a little different yesterday and went to see a film at the cinema, a documentary, to learn something new... Six Inches of Soil Was first aired at the The Oxford Farming Conference (OFC) and showcased at the COP 28. Joined by Wokingham's People, Planet, Pint Host Elizabeth Corse and Anna Watson, plus Joanna, Claire, and Mary at the Reading Biscuit Factory we found the documentary really insightful. It gave us all a glimpse of what the UK farmers are going through, what the difference between regenerative and organic farming is. 🤯 While none of us are looking to go into farming, it gave us an understanding of what WE can do, and how small changes in our buying behaviour can have major impact on the land we live on. We also learned that regenerative farming is something that many believe is not sustainable, yet this documentary told a story of 3 different farmers (fruit & veg, cattle, and crop), each one proving that it is possible and the produce meets, if not exceeds the yield of alternative farming techniques. 💡🔔The biggest lesson of all was that our soil needs our help. 💡🔔 We walk on it We mow it We plant fruit and vegetables on it We let animals roam on it We expect a lot from it and we take it for granted 💡Worms = magic (they are a sign of healthy soil) Weed killers and Fungus Sprays are really harmful, not just to the weeds but to the soil around them. 💡Opt for natural pesticides where ever possible Biggest takeaway for me was that healthy soil is less prone to flood (when we have excess rain) because it has better drainage, or become exceptionally dry (when we have dry & hot weather) because it retains water better - how cool is that??? 💡Heathy soil - can stop flooding 💡 If that's not an incentive to look after our soil - I don't know what is. P.S. The first showing was so popular, they are showing it again on 22nd April at the Reading Biscuit Factory. It is being shown at other locations also. Visit ➡️ sixinchesofsoil.org #sustainability

Innovating for better resilience in the agri-food sector! 🌾 Check out the third and final episode of our Farmers Protest series, where we explore how innovations—from urban vertical farming to climate-smart practices—support agricultural resilience, mitigating climate and economic risks. Learn how balancing global and local food systems can meet consumer expectations and ensure high living standards for farming communities worldwide. #AgriFoodInnovation #Sustainability #ClimateSmartAg #FarmersProtest #FoodSecurity

Sponsored by NatWest, the WWF report “A roadmap for financing a #regenerative agricultural transition in England” outlines practical actions needed to support the shift to nature-friendly farming. Addressing the nexus of food security, environmental sustainability and fair rewards for people involved in the agricultural sector will be one of the key challenges of the coming decade and regenerative farming can play a pivotal role in tackling this. #EarthDay #regenerativefarming #foodsystems #triplechallenge #agriculture #ESG

"regenerative agriculture" isn't a singular strategy for increasing agricultural sustainability. Abandoning monocropping, increasing biodiversity for both plant and animal species, agroforestry, and reworking water delivery systems are just a handful of the many practices that fall under the regenerative agriculture label. As a result, it can be challenging to enter farming communities and sell regenerative agriculture as a simple, viable solution, regardless of its potential to improve our food chain. According to Renée Vassilos, Director of Agriculture Innovation at The Nature Conservancy, "Establishing trust on the ground and collaborating closely with each community" is vital for regenerative strategies to find acceptance on a global scale. #BiodiversityInAgriculture #Sustainability #Agriculture
