Francis Rayns & Judith Conroy presented a webinar for Garden Organic members, based on CAWR’s NERC funded REPAS project that explored citizen science as a way of quantifying environmental contamination. As well as highlighting the problems some practical tips for managing plastic use were suggested.
Francis Rayns recently attended an open day in Essex to see trials being conducted as part of the project ‘Empowering English farmers to produce peat-free composts for horticulture’. This ADOPT funded work is evaluating different methods of composting willow, which could be more widely used on-farm.

Liliane Binego visited Biovision Africa Trust and the African Institute for Culture & Ecology (AFRICE) in Uganda. Engagement with Biovision Africa Trust focused on strengthening the EU AGROECOLOGY Partnership WGI and assessing agroecology scaling methods in East Africa.
Professor Dr Ulrich Schmutz, WP11 ‘Agroecology at Scale” lead, of the 300-million, 10-year Agroecology Partnership (AP) Horizon Project visited Terre et Cité and the University Paris-Saclay. Both have joined the partnership project and work in WP11.
The 3rd meeting of the OneSTOP Living Lab, organised by Katharina Dehnen-Schmutz & Helen Bayliss took place in July at Ryton Pools Country Park to discuss first results from the air eDNA sampling conducted there last year. Also see the new Plant Alert app: https://bit.ly/44ZkiRg
