We often talk about 'provenance', 'resilience' and planting 'the right tree in the right place' when planning farm woodland, but what does that mean in practice? This informative, practical event included a tour of Darroch Nurseries, hands-on activity and discussion on topics including: - setting up a tree nursery - producing native trees - the importance of provenance and resilience - the right tree in the right place for the right reason - what does that look like in practice? This was part of part of a farmer-led knowledge exchange programme, Agroecology: Strengthening Livelihoods, which we worked on with Nourish Scotland, Landworkers’ Alliance, Pasture for Life, the Nature Friendly Farming Network, Propagate and Scottish Crofting Federation. Funding for this programme was made available through the Knowledge Transfer and Innovation Fund (KTIF), which is funded by the Scottish Government.

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.

We know how important it is to be inspired by both big businesses and individuals, which is why we are excited to present Talking Leaders, a monthly initiative from the AHDB which will see a series of inspirational speakers share their life experiences and deliver impactful stories to the AgriLeader community. In our April broadcast we are delighted to be joined by Doctor Awal Fuseini discussing ““Tapping into the Halal market. The spend in the UK halal food and beverage industry in 2016 reached an estimated £4.64 billion, or 8% of the UK's total food and drink spend. A major part of the halal food market is meat. Awal works closely with levy payers and key stakeholders in the Halal sector to create a better understanding of the requirements of Halal meat production. His role involves introducing various initiatives aimed at promoting English beef and lamb as versatile and convenient products to Halal consumers. Awal also collaborates with Halal certification bodies to understand the requirements of the major export markets with a view to facilitating the export of English beef and lamb to the global Halal market, with particular focus on the Middle Eastern and Sub-Saharan African markets.

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.
