Andrew RT Davies makes an important point; unsustainable farming approaches are making it really difficult for some farmers to make a profit. But it's not as simple as just providing more subsidy, but subsidising changes to a more resilient form of farming. www.conservatives.wales/news/welsh-c...

Here's a starter pack of everyone we can find so far on Bluesky that's been elected to the Senedd! go.bsky.app/7FP8kpy

Do we need this debate again? By now, it'd cost far and above £1.4bn, to destroy precious habitat in the Gwent Levels, in order to reduce average journey times by 3-5 minutes (according to @neweconomics.bsky.social). NEF: neweconomics.org/2018/09/the-... BBC: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Here's our latest blog from @rspbcymru.bsky.social on if our most at-risk and precious species are really being helped by sites designated for them. SSSIs, SACs, SPAs, 'designated landscapes', nature reserves... whatever you call them, how are they doing for nature? waleslink.org/protected-si...

This is really problematic; the only bid for being the Management Organisation for a new Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) in Wales objects to the parameters Ministers have set for a better, more progressive DRS (than the UK's) that includes glass & container re-use. www.thegrocer.co.uk/news/welsh-d...
