🌱🐄 Inspiring the next generation of land stewards Last month, we hosted Year 10 students from a local school for a hands-on day at our farm in Oxford, organised with Oxford Earth Academy. 🚜 🌾🔍 After researching soil health, they presented their findings before heading out to see regenerative farming in action. They were surprised to see contractors ploughing our arable land - until we explained how mob and bale grazing have boosted soil carbon and reduced compaction. The students spotted our empty cow sheds and asked, “Where are the cows?”, giving us great chance to discuss the economic and ecological benefits of outwintering. Armed with spades and curiosity, they dug in - counting worms, testing infiltration rates and scoring soil health. Their excitement was contagious! Wildlife highlights? Cattle egrets, woodpeckers, wagtails and a brimstone butterfly were all spotted. Spring is here 🦜🦋 #RegenerativeFarming #SoilHealth #FutureFarmers #Biodiversity #RegenAg #SustainableFarming

Senior food sector professionals are sounding the alarm on the #resilience of the UK food system. No more business as usual. The impact of degrading soil health, water scarcity, global heating and extreme weather requires us to kick into disaster preparedness mode.

Join MURILO QUINTILIANO, our COO and aquatic animal welfare expert, this week at #Expolondrina2025! 🌊

Great to see industry leaders in Vietnam’s shrimp sector embracing welfare as a driver of quality and sustainability! 🌍🦐   At FAI, we’re proud to support this shift with practical tools that help businesses stay ahead in a responsible, transparent market.   #ShrimpWelfare #SustainableSeafood #AquaticWelfare

🐟 It’s World Aquatic Animal Day 🦐🌍 Traditionally, animal welfare has focused on land animals. But what about fish? Science shows they feel pain, experience stress, and have complex behaviours, yet their welfare is often overlooked. With billions of fish and shrimp farmed each year, this needs to change. At FAI, we believe better welfare starts on the farm. That’s why we’re working globally - from Brazil to Honduras, Southeast Asia to Egypt - putting practical, science-backed tools and training directly in farmers' hands to drive real, positive change.   📲 The Tilapia Welfare App: A free, research-based tool to help farmers assess and improve fish welfare at every stage of production, from hatchery to harvest and slaughter. 🎓 Online training courses: Accessible training on aquatic animal welfare to support better welfare practices across aquaculture. 🌍 Global projects: Supporting farmers and businesses worldwide to implement higher welfare standards in tilapia, grass carp and shrimp farming.   This World Aquatic Animal Day, let’s push for better welfare standards in aquaculture. Healthier fish, better farm productivity, a more sustainable future 🐠🐟🦐 📢 Get involved and explore our FREE resources: 🔗 FAI Academy: https://fai.academy/ 🔗 Tilapia Welfare: https://lnkd.in/dsc-mZUD 🔗 Shrimp Welfare: https://www.myhhrimp.farm/ Special thanks to MURILO QUINTILIANO Øistein Thorsen Sara Barrento Marius Nicolini Ethical Seafood Research AQUAVET EGYPT Bio Creative Labs Co., Ltd. and our many other expert team members and partners! #WAAD #TilapiaWelfare #ShrimpWelfare #Aquaculture #SustainableFarming

🚜 At the Regenerative Agriculture Summit North America earlier this week our CEO, Øistein Thorsen, dove into critical discussions on climate-smart U.S. cattle production 🌍💡 Stay tuned as we share insights from the event 👀 #RegenerativeAgriculture #RegenAG #lowcarbonbeef #ClimateSmartFarming #RASNA

Yesterday at FAI’s farm in Oxford, we had an incredible day learning from the ever-inspiring Tim Parton at our Soil Biology Brewing Workshop 🚜☕ Tim reminded us of a hard truth: our soils have been neglected for too long and the biology that can work for us, at little cost, has been eroded. But there’s a way forward! 🌾 💡 “Biology has got all the answers… It’s time we moved from the chemical age to the biological age.” It was great to dive into how biologicals can help farming systems transition away from a reliance on synthetic inputs, ultimately bringing control and resilience back to farming businesses. 🌍 Key takeaways from the day: ✅ Healthy soils mean healthier plants, boosting resilience and disease resistance ✅ Brewing biologicals is low-cost and high-impact – just start small! ✅ In Tim’s experience, biologicals improve soil aggregation, water infiltration, and soil food web function  📚Attendees saw firsthand how simple and affordable brewing set-ups are created and how they can help transition farms away from synthetic inputs. Starting a small trial area of the farm can be a great way of proving the value biologicals can have in your system. At FAI, regenerative agriculture is at the heart of what we do. Events like this help empower farmers with the practical tools to rebuild soil health and create a more resilient future. #RegenerativeAgriculture #SoilHealth #BiologicalFarming #SustainableFarming

🐟 Revolutionizing Tilapia Welfare in Thailand's Aquaculture: A Win-Win for Fish and Farmers 🌊 Exciting news from VIV Asia 2025! Pau Badia, Director of Creative Labs Asia, just delivered a game-changing presentation on "Tilapia Welfare for Future" at the Blue Economy through Aquaculture conference. Why should this matter to you? 1. **Improved Efficiency**: Better welfare practices = higher production efficiency 2. **Healthier Fish**: Happy tilapia = healthier, more resilient stock 3. **Consumer Satisfaction**: Ethically raised fish = increased market demand The best part? We're making this accessible to ALL Thai tilapia farmers: ✅ FREE mobile apps for monitoring fish health and welfare ✅ Complimentary online training courses in Thai This FAI UK-supported initiative isn't just about fish - it's about empowering our farmers with cutting-edge tools, no financial barriers. Ready to dive into the future of sustainable aquaculture? Let's make waves together! 🌊 #TilapiaWelfare #SustainableAquaculture #ThaiTilapiaRevolution #VIVAsia2025 #FishHealthMatters Join the conversation: How can we further improve animal welfare in aquaculture?
