For vertical farming to work for cereals, energy would need to be insanely cheap. We underestimate how cheap a lot of outdoor farming is. That's good for feeding 9-10 billion people. But bad news for indoor competitors. I ran the numbers here: www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/vertical-f...

Offline, we’ve been having a lot of fun too. In fact, Geashill recently went a bit batty as we received the fascinating results from the recent Bat Survey - part of the Neighbourhood Bats 2024 project #Bat 🦇

What a beautiful sunny Spring day! The team headed over to McDonagh Crescent on Saturday to do some work on our orchard and little copse. The new path (thanks to @bostonsci.bsky.social) is looking spectacular😊

We had a great turnout for our tidy up of old vegetation around our ponds and wetlands today - on a lovely sunny Sunday morning. This clears the ground for fresh Spring growth, which can only be around the corner. #TidyTowns #Wetlands

I'm considering donating my services (illustration & design) to science or political educators who are trying to combat the constant misinformation going on. If you have suggestions, feel free to throw a link or tag in my comments.

Stay well, feel as positive as you can. Today we get 8:18:13 of daylight. Tomorrow we get 3m59s more than today. If you can, take a stroll, breathe some air, get some light on your face. #daylightbot

A bumblebee can only fly for about 40 mins between feeding. These amazing pollinating insects are being hit hard by widespread habitat loss. So each nectar-rich flower you plant in a windowbox or in your garden or community green spaces could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝 #SaveTheBees #nature

Wonderful idea for the UK audience. Here @birdwatchireland.bsky.social run the Irish Garden Bird Survey from December to February. No need to sign up to participate - you’ll find all the information on their website (and a lot more besides!)

Footage request! We are looking to add footage to our image/video library of curlews/whimbrels. In the first instance, we are mostly interested in Eurasian Curlews and Whimbrels in wetland locations. If you would like to donate footage to us, please e-mail megan (at) curlewaction (dot) org, or DM

Nature is in crisis. Species all over are declining or crashing towards extinction. But by taking action for biodiversity in our communities, gardens, landscapes, farmland, towns - and by standing together & insisting political leaders step up - we can help nature recover & rebound. Let’s do this 🐝

Bird Therapy was loaned out from the library service 566 times last year. Not only does that figure blow my mind, but it’s serendipitous as I wrote a lot of the book in my local library in lieu of owning a laptop, and visit there once a week, every week. We must all love our libraries! #booksky

@ourworldindata.org have been listening to @hannahritchie.bsky.social book Not the End of the World. Absolutely wonderful to have a positive view of our future (given all the doomsmongers out there) - hoping to play a part in The First Sustainable Generation.

The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better. All three statements are true at the same time. Understanding this is key to solving big global problems. We believe data & research can help us understand both the problems we face & the progress that’s possible. 🧵
