@ScottFarbman @CEIBois @Wood4Bauhaus @TimberDevUK Complete support from me on what you are doing but anyone involved in building anything tall, irrespective of the materials used, must read this book:

But strangely the Red Tractor doesn't tell you if the UK farmer received a fair price for their produce.

@emilymnorton @_FutureCountry @jake_fiennes @EdenSwimmer A broadly supported land use strategy which reconciles the need for 1) food 2) biomass incl timber 3) biodiversity 4) carbon sequestration & storage 5) public access for health (physical & mental). All indicators to rise. Maximising synergies key. Five silos would be a failure.

@JoeWStanley I agree Joe but we also need to factor in carbon storage, biomass production & public access for health both mental & physical. Fortunately this Venn diagram throws up lots of overlaps eg agroforestry. Overall food production mustn't go down. Hence we need a land use strategy.

@GreenAllianceUK There's nothing wrong in this piece but it fails to mention there will be an extra 2 billion people in the world by 2050 who will all need somewhere to live (it's a human right). As it stands they'll live in concrete & steel high rise = huge emissions. Timber the only alternative

@SustainableTall And the bottom third of the structure is reinforced concrete ... which means I'm puzzled as to why it's being called 'the world's tallest timber tower'. Surely that's in Norway?

The European Parliament's Environment Committee has published its final Report on Sustainable Carbon Cycles & it 'Recognises that the use of nature-based materials in the construction sector can substitute for more carbon intensive conventional materials.'

RT @KateRaworth: While France is banning short-haul flights, the UK government is now promoting them, under the slogan 'Grow the Economy'
More like 'Kill the Living World'.
Policies like this, in times like these, will be recorded in the history books as ecocide.

Now that's exactly what I thought when I visited the Tree House in Norway. I presumed those flats that had a structural beam within the living space (most didn't) would be cheaper to buy. I was wrong. This flat, as pictured, commanded a premium price because of the exposed beam!

We still need to actually do it though....

Agroforestry could be the key to sustainable farming in the NL and 🇪🇺!

This innovative farming method combines trees with crops and/or livestock, providing a range of benefits such as improved #soilquality, #biodiversity, #animalwelfare and economic stability.
