First Milk has released a 'white paper' for regenerative dairy. The report celebrates what the co-operative dairy has achieved so far, while making a strong case for Phase 2 of their regen dairy programme - moving from measuring inputs to assessing outcomes: actual soil carbon, actual numbers of birds and insects, actual river quality... To find out more, ffinlo Costain is joined by Lee Truelove, Director of Regenerative Farming & Agriculture at First Milk, and Leona McDonald, their Director of Regenerative Partnerships.

In the seventh episode of the Own the Build Leadership Series, Paul is joined by Genna Rourke, former Commercial Director at Costain and now Industry Engagement Director at Built Intelligence, to explore an unconventional route into commercial leadership and the lessons she learned along the way.After falling into quantity surveying by chance, Jenna built her career through curiosity, continuous learning and a willingness to take on problems others avoided. From trainee QS to Commercial Director, she reflects on the relationships, mentors and mindset shifts that shaped her leadership journey.The conversation explores:why trust and relationships are the foundation of great commercial leadership;the importance of delegation and why "what got you here won't get you there";how succession planning starts with developing the people around you;why collaboration consistently delivers better commercial outcomes than hierarchy; andthe role of mentoring, feedback and continuous professional development in building high-performing commercial teams.Jenna also shares her thoughts on the evolving culture of construction, the importance of embracing different perspectives across generations, and why today's leaders should focus less on having all the answers and more on creating environments where their teams can thrive.The episode closes with a simple but powerful message:great commercial leaders don't create followers—they create future leaders.A practical and refreshingly honest conversation for QSs, Commercial Managers and aspiring Commercial Directors looking to build stronger teams, earn trust and lead with confidence.---------------------------------

ffinlo Costain talks to Dr Frédéric Leroy (Vrije University, Brussels) and Dr Jason Rowntree (Michigan State University).Frédéric and Jason's new research paper argues that while livestock systems represent a considerable environmental challenge, anti-livestock and anti-meat perspectives over-simplify the issues, ignore regional variations, and rely on unbalanced carbon accounting. They argue that carbon tunnel vision is a threat to good climate policy.* Find out more and read the research at 8point9.com

Professor Sir Dieter Helm's recent paper - The future of British farming - has received applause and consternation on social media. For Helm, British farming stands on the brink of its most profound transformation "since the coming of tractors and fertilisers" - but the vision he sets out is disturbing. The paper describes the technical and financial forces shaping modern agriculture, while treating regenerative farming with a sceptic's eye. Is Helm right? Is data-enabled precision ag, AI and vertical farming the future? Should the polluter pay? Is regen poorly defined and glyphosate dependent? And - what does all this mean for the family farm?ffinlo Costain meets Professor Sir Dieter Helm alongside regenerative and organic farmer, Patrick Holden, the Chief Executive of the Sustainable Food Trust. * Farm Gate is the world's highest ranking food security podcast* More land use news at 8point9.com
