[ad] Have you been to the Groundswell Regenerative Agriculture Festival recently – or know someone who did? Maybe you’re starting to wonder what it’s all about. Or perhaps you’re simply trying to make sense of all the ‘regen’ messages coming your way?
At its core, regenerative agriculture is about one thing: putting soil health first.
That means minimising soil disturbance, keeping the ground covered, maintaining living roots for as much of the year as possible – and adding as much diversity as you can in your crops, varieties and techniques. Where you can, livestock integration is a key part too.
But context matters. Every farm, every field, every farmer is different. Regen doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all approach. It doesn’t mean no ploughing, or never using inputs – it’s about working out what makes sense on your land.
Maybe I can help?
You don’t need to overhaul everything at once. Small, well-considered changes can make a real difference – both to your soil and to your bottom line.
That might mean tweaking your grazing system. Or setting clearer treatment thresholds for livestock and crops. Or rethinking your breeding decisions to improve longevity and performance.
One step at a time – towards a more resilient, profitable and rewarding way to farm.
I bring over 30 years’ experience in managing dairy, beef, sheep and arable systems, including sustainable land use and organic conversions.
That background allows me to offer practical support on soil health, livestock management, staff recruitment and training, budgeting and performance monitoring.
If you’d like to talk about how your farm could adapt in an uncertain world – and where the opportunities lie – give me a ring.
