Thank you to Chirrup.ai and the work we’re doing together to support biodiversity on our farms. Using passive acoustic monitoring, we’ve been able to bring birdsong into the heart of barley farming across ten farms in Angus, Scotland—gaining deeper insights into the ecosystems around us without disruption. Big thanks to Chirrup.ai for helping us tune into the land. #Biodiversity #Sustainability #Innovation #EarthWeek #BarleyToBirds
🌎 Celebrating Earth Day with Bairds Malt Limited : from Barley to Birds As one of Chirrup.ai’s first partners, Bairds Malt Limited helped bring birdsong into barley farming, making #biodiversity part of how malt is grown across ten farms in Angus, Scotland. In their own words: “Biodiversity is just as important as carbon or soil health... and often, what’s really there isn’t in the textbook.” 🌱 By using passive acoustic monitoring, Bairds Malt gains a truer picture of the ecosystems on their farms, without disruption. 👉 It’s not just about measuring nature, but learning from it to guide better decisions, including where and how to minimise chemical use. This #EarthDay, we’re proud to celebrate Bairds Malt’s leadership in listening to the land. #sustainability #innovation #Earthweek Picture (c) Bairds Malt
