Down to Earth - Part Four - Connecting with the Community
The final of a series of short films produced as part of the ‘Down to Earth’ project; a collaboration between Agricology, RuralPod Media and Down to Earth Media (funded by the Rothschild Foundation), which focuses on promoting sustainable agricultural practices being used on the Waddesdon Estate and beyond. The project looks at approaches being used to transition towards no/low input farming methods whilst highlighting the potential for agroecological innovation.
Part four, ‘Connecting with the Community’ focuses on the importance of bringing people together and connecting with the wider community to encourage change on a broader basis and help tackle the climate, policy and environmental changes farmers face. We hear how the estate engages with their tenant farmers, creating space to share ideas on improving farming practices, and examples of sharing knowledge and contributing to events with local farm clusters, environmental groups and agricultural organisations and projects, including Agricology.

    As a farmer, I would love that we start to see far greater integration of the plethora of small organisations/businesses like Agricology and Nature Friendly Farming Network etc etc who are all taking a similar approach with a similar message. The people who run these things need to focus on joining forces and creating a more cohesive approach.

    Fascinating. Nitrogen-fixing trees and shrubs normally have higher protein. Possibly broom species (Cytisus) and Albizia julibrizzin? In Mediterranean climates tree lucerne is commonly used (Cytisus proliferus/Chameacytisus palmensis), and in the tropics Leucaena leucocephala. Not nitogen-fixing, but possibly poplar species? Thanks for a great video.

    The way to preserve the leafy branches is through layering it with silage(fermentation of grasses for feed). Compact layers of shreded grass and leafy branches that are inoculated and covered in silage tarps to ferment and then feed to cattle over the winter.

    • @Rattlerjake1
      @Rattlerjake1 Před rokem

      Yes. And for large cattle, pig, etc. operations, silage will give far more harvest then anything else. AND it requires less labor than this tree hay which is labor intensive.
