Save the date: Nov 4th we host a webinar on building capacity for net zero literacy in farming and rural communities, with expert speakers from @srucnews.bsky.social, AHDB and Kepak reflecting on their experiences in capacity building, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A. #NetZero

Wrapping up our series of clips about 'problematic language' from attendees at our #BigTent event, here's Elliot Colley, Social Scientist at @forestresearchuk.bsky.social, with his thoughts on 'natural'. #LUNZHub #Language

The sixth in our series of 'problematic language' interviews from attendees at our #BigTent event in Wales is from @huwwoodward.bsky.social, Research Fellow at the Centre for Environmental Policy at @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social - and his chosen phrase is 'systems thinking'. #LUNZHub #Language

The 5th in our 'problematic language' series of clips from our #BigTent event - for Prof Prysor Williams, Chair of Agriculture and Environment at @bangoruniversity.bsky.social (who's also an upland livestock farmer in North Wales) the problematic word is 'transformational'. #LUNZHub #Language

Here's #4 in our Problematic Language series of clips from attendees at our #BigTent event. For Toyin Oshaniwa from Lifegate Communities, there are questions around the phrase 'soil health'. #LUNZHub #Language #SoilHealth

Here's #3 in our Problematic Language series of clips from attendees at our #BigTent event. What riles Dr Claire Kelly, environmental social scientist at @plymuni.bsky.social? It's the phrase 'behaviour change'. #LUNZHub #Language

#2 of our Problematic Language clips from attendees at our #BigTent event in Llandudno - for sustainable land use scientist Alan Radbourne from @ukceh.bsky.social, it's the word 'just'. #LUNZHub

At our #BigTent event, we're collecting examples of Problematic Language: the vocabulary and terminology of land use that confuses, complicates or concerns, and gets in the way of meaningful communication. Here's Prof Jacqueline Hannam from @cranfielduni.bsky.social on 'soil health'. #LUNZHub

Among the many attendees of this year's Big Tent gathering, we're fortunate to have poet Harriet Fraser from Place Collective, who created this poem for our event from impressions gathered during sessions and presentations. #LUNZHub #BigTent

Bringing our key objective into focus in a session at our #BigTent event today in the Net Zero Pathways workshop, attendees discussed how soil and agricultural systems can inform and support the development of pathways to net zero in the land use sector. #LUNZHub #LandUse #NetZero

As presented today by Dr Angelina Sanderson-Bellamy at our #BigTent event in Llandudno, the GRASSLANDS Project is reshaping UK grasslands to support the journey to net zero while improving soil health, biodiversity, and rural economies. #LUNZHub #BigTent
