Interesting from Farmers Weekly on fenland peat soils, and changing farming practice to reduce emissions, mainly carbon dioxide as peat dries and methane from ditches and wetland. A difficult balance.

The insanity of a market-trading system to ‘match’ regenerative farming with carbon costs — fell a tree to build a road, pay a farmer to plant ten more, but with no controls over where or quality of care to establish them. Riddled with scam from the start.
How do you quantify loss of habitat to ‘offset’ it by creating potential habitat elsewhere? How can that potential habitat be quantified to achieve alleged ’balance’?

For every £ spent on food, farmers and growers receive only around 9 pence. Most are making a fraction of minimum wage while working eighteen hours a day, seven days a week, all year.
Time for change away from the highly exploitative and extractive supermarket stranglehold model
