UK Field Tours (5)

As we transition into the winter months, we are excited to extend an invitation to you for our upcoming event series
"Farming for People Planet & Profit - Where does Carbon fit in?”.

In today's world, agriculture plays a pivotal role in not only sustaining our global food supply but also in addressing pressing environmental challenges.

Our event series will delve deep into the crucial themes of farming for environmental service, supply chain demand, and food production simultaneously, providing a platform for meaningful discussions, insights, and innovative solutions. We will also explore the Soil Capital programme, the carbon markets and everything you could wish to know about who we are and what drives us. 

During our events, we will not only discuss these concepts but also get out on the field to see some of the brilliant work being done by farmers who are leading the way in sustainable agriculture, and using the Soil Capital programme to help them do it. 


Here are the details of the events in your region:

IMG_0367Not from your typical farming background, medical doctors and husband and wife Alex and Hannah, alongside Alex's brother Rob, took over the family farm four years ago, and have dived headfirst into a regenerative system with a focus on soil health.

 So much so that Hannah is currently embarking on a Nuffield scholarship exploring ‘Displacing empty calories with nutrient dense food’.

On the 13th we will learn more about the transition of the farm discussing their Agroforestry set-up and some intercropping mixes that have recently gone into the ground, alongside discussing how the Soil Capital programme has worked for them.

Mark has been in the Soil Capital programme for two years, and has achieved his first payments this June, which adds another element to his diversified income streams servicing the supply chain demand for reduced carbon emissions.


We’ll be discussing all of this and more on the 14th so it would be great to see you there.

We head to Dorset to see Farm Manager Andy Meecham, who has worked his way up through the ranks at the farm. 

He has transformed the Shaftesbury Estate from a conventional system, with high inputs and high labour costs, to an adapted sustainable farming system with reducing tillage, cover cropping, and reducing inputs in a system Andy describes as ‘Smart Farming’.

On the walk we will explore some of Andy’s intercropping trials, and visit a new Digestate Lagoon.
