The regenagri podcast explores the future of farming and the hot topics surrounding the global movement of regenerative agriculture, with industry experts.
In this, our third episode, Harry Farnsworth, sustainable agriculture projects lead at Control Union UK, hosts a discussion on the highs and lows of transitioning from conventional practices, farm diversification and the economics of farming regeneratively.
Joining Harry is Ian Steele, from Treflach Farm in Shropshire, who practices holistic methods on his care farm, with a diverse, mixed rotation, plus its own butchery and bakery on-site.
Ian explains what made him move towards regenerating the land and the steps he’s taken to improve water quality and biodiversity on-farm.
With Knight Frank’s head of agri-consultancy, Tom Heathcote, sharing his experiences of working with farm businesses on their regenerative journeys, they uncover what funding is available to farmers and the importance of monitoring and analysing data in the transitioning process.
