great conversation. I have induced some anxiety in my kids by simply telling them and getting angry with the idiocy of politicians on tv, and it's hard to know how to best let them have happy childhoods when the outlook is so grim... so this was helpful, thanks.

Humans should function as the keystone species of the planet. Recognizing that we are part of the ecosystem and that the ecosystem is part of us and that our survival, health and wellbeing (which comprise our actual wealth) is entirely and inseparably dependent upon the survival, health and wellbeing of our internal and external ecosystem, we should focus on building up the productive capacity of the ecosystem to sustain life and then reap the excess capacity to sustain ourselves. Understand, a healthy natural ecosystem is many times more ECOLOGICALLY productive than a monoculture industrial farm. The reason that we have monoculture (rather than poly culture) farms is that monoculture is more efficient for the MACHINES and more profitable for the capitalists that produce them and the products that they require to operate and because they can rent or sell them to foolish farmers who go into debt to buy or rent them. I had a permaculture farm that was less than 5 ac. It had gardens, orchards, food forests, aquaculture ponds, livestock grazing areas and a hunting park. It was productive enough to fed our family, the neighbors, the workers families, our customers at the farmers markets, some school children and people eating at several restaurants in the neighboring town. AND It simultaneously provided an oasis habitat for wildlife. With all that abundance, I should think that rural people with conventional farms or farms where they sell off their hay (and thus strip their land of nutrients), or “conserve” their land in its unproductive degraded state, would want to convert them into farms that are actually productive!

No facts, just claims.

What is your experience with conservation grazing? Have you heard about it before? Leave a comment and let me know!

Nice!

Great analysis, thank you! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). How can I transfer them to Binance?

Thanks for sharing such valuable information! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

Excellent topic !

great discussion. As a zoologist and hunter I'd be happy to allow lethal control of problem animals if it meant the wolf could be reintroduced to Ireland. Although I'd not be out hunting wolves myself, if a farmer asked me to take one out that was identified and licensed to be removed I'd do him/her that favour for the greater good. Unfortunately there are many in the animal rights community who prefer non-existence of a species to any potential suffering of an individual animal...

There was an eagle they taged it as a youngster the mother broke its leg tring to get the tag off, the bird had. To have its leg fixed ,and rehabilitated it was caught by a predator after release.i have pet birds they are extremely sensitive even sometimes to colors i think rigns will create an artificial or false understanding of birds and thier behavior because its artificial

Are novel ecosystems the future of biodiversity?

Good morning! This seems really interesting

Lead pellet from shot shell?

Great conversation! One thing I would add, though not necessarily the most important question here, is that people down the country have many many advantages when it comes to housing, that a Dub like me would never get. They often get preference in building homes in their area, something we never get. Plus the crazy costs. In terms of community and attachment to landscape, I have just as much a connection with my home as any country person but for us it's just accepted that you will be priced out and that's it. That said, I wholeheartedly support people (within reason) being able to continue to live where they grew up if they so wish.

Good video, Bill said he doesn't use insecticides on farm. In his twitter account he uses anthelmintic/pour-on. Pour ons are usually avermectins. Avermectims are an insecticide which when administered are excreted in relative unchanged form and last 12 weeks. 12 weeks of insect killing on pasture..

Thanks for watching! Let me know in the comments what you think about Nature Restoration Law and if it will be good or bad for farming in the long run.

Your commitment shows, great content

Very informative and heartening to hear farmers are moving towards soil maintenance rather than squeezing out every last bit of goodness without thought for the long term

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by and watching. Whether you watch the whole episode or just a few minutes, please leave a comment. Your feedback is always greatly appreciated!

some great points here, Tommy. I looked into the ethics of hunting while I was doing my research back in the day and I concur with a lot of this.

If after listening to this episode you want to help the environment and get into hunting, here you can access a detailed guide on how to get started in deer hunting in Ireland. ➡ deerhunting.ie/

Great discussion. Pushing me towards wanting to hunt more

Your man who wants them totally eradicated isn’t very likeable bloke I must say.

Great discussion. A few comments on what one of your guests said: As another guest later said, Muntjac don’t have a breeding season, so there’s no way to have a closed season that respects their young during lactation… In my research 25 years ago in Wicklow, I found no reduction in harvest of stags after the rut that would indicate hunters are disinclined to shoot because the meat is lower quality. If it’s not feasible to eradicate sika due to terrain, then how are we so sure it’s possible to manage them well enough for good ecological outcomes? In the comparison of the management options give, I’m pretty sure the forest with deer managed have much, much lower densities than most places in Ireland, especially Wicklow and Kerry where regeneration is needed most. Might one propose that the lady who sees a difference between sika and red might well be influenced by the very fact that, as is the premise of the whole discussion. sika are invasive and red deer are native? If goats have no protection, how come they’ve not been eradicated yet from Killarney NP? That’s a question coming from complete ignorance of the current situation there. Finally, it´s true that the forest planning in Ireland is still terrible… despite the discussions with forest managers for decades. Keep up the good work, Tommy!

Interesting discussion, thank you for posting.

Social media is deliberately polarising. It increases engagement, which increases user presence, which increases shareholder profits. Users need to find a way of reminding themselves it's not real life. I deleted all social media profiles recently, and instantly felt free, as if I'd escaped the matrix or broken the loop or something.

Logging in for a Minute and scrolling through is cheating! 😂 Logging in alone and just seeing what's on your feed at that moment can already have a huge influence.

Well you got my vote this morning. We need your generation's voices in Bru$$€£$, before my generation leaves its tra$h h€aps for you to live on.

Wow, 'ecosystem rights' I'd not thought of that!

I saw this video after I saw a dead dolphin

You can wash but with hot water and then dry with high heat.

Another great interview - "the fence is a problem" - so true.

Very good interview.

Haluaisin että ympäristössä on supikoiria. Ne on ajettu liian ahtaalle jo? Suomessa on myös kettuja, samalla menee supikoira. 🦝

Something to look forward to listening to soon!

Well maybe not the individual bird or shark, but as a species and as an ecosystem, they're probably better off if humans understand their mechanisms

in certain cases maybe due to animal over population such as deer and hogs since they dont have any natural predators they would overpopulate the area

Ok
