The case studies in this report clearly show how farming can deliver for environmental restoration, climate mitigation and the rural economy – while making better business sense in the process.
These food producers, among a growing number across the UK, are addressing rapidly degrading soil health, minimising chemical waste, protecting water quality, adopting low input systems, reducing their carbon footprint, improving carbon sequestration, enhancing wildlife, restoring habitats and mitigating flooding. These regenerative and agroecological practices, among many others, can make positive long-term changes that our society desperately needs.
The report features practical actions alongside farmer stories to illustrate how nature-friendly farming brings benefits to farmers and the communities in which they live.
