Great to have @KLaitenberger join us for this year's Fields Good speaker line up. Klaus will also run an additional short Q&A session in the Grower Tent. Klaus Laitenberger's session is one not to miss. A highly respected organic grower, educator and author, Klaus has spent decades refining practical methods for producing healthy, productive vegetable crops without relying on synthetic fertilisers or pesticides. In this talk, he'll share the principles behind successful organic vegetable production, from building fertile soils and managing weeds naturally to growing high-quality crops that people genuinely want to buy. Whether you're planning a market garden, diversifying your farm business or simply curious about how healthy soils produce healthy food, you'll leave with practical knowledge, fresh ideas and plenty of inspiration. ___ 🌿Fields Good 2026 📢Early bird discounted tickets available until 30th June. 🗓️Saturday 5th September 📍The Sheddings, Glenarm Estate, Northern Ireland 🎟️ Tickets: just £50 for a full day - £40 earlybird available until end of June eventbrite.co.uk/e/fields-good-… #Farming #Soil #Agriculture

@pippa_hackett @IrishTimes Finishes by saying what we were saying 10 years ago, but where is the real mindset change or willingness to adapt agricultural systems away from the old dysfunctional 'model'. Ditto for post-farm gate systems. Talking the talk is one thing, but walking the walk quite another.

Thought provoking piece from Prof John Fitzgerald in @IrishTimes in relation to EU Agricultural policy and Ireland. “The arguments for supporting farmers are social and environmental, not economic.”

The planet's current state, where we are breaching multiple planetary boundaries and which manifests as public health threats impacting millions globally, provides ample scientific evidence that climate change should be declared a public health emergency of international concern.

There is an urgent imperative for governments and civil society to understand and affirm that #ClimateChange poses an immediate and long-term threat to health, says #PECCH an expert advisory board, who wants WHO to declare a public health emergency of international concern.
