156: Regenerative Agriculture: lessons from the USA

Written by AHDB

Regenerative Agriculture comprises principles and practices aiming to: improve soil health, increase biodiversity and nurture resilient crops in an environmentally sustainable way.

A growing number of farmers around the UK are enthusiastically embracing regenerative agriculture and overhauling their farming systems.

AHDB Knowledge Exchange Manager Harry Henderson, who also attended the event, caught up with Russell to see what he learned from the Americans.
