In our latest webinar we are joined by Fernando Falomir from our mentoring partner Understanding Ag to discuss the positive effects that an adaptive grazing system can have on livestock health and behaviour.

Adaptive grazing, also called adaptive multi paddock grazing or regenerative grazing, involves high density grazing in smaller areas for shorter periods. This allows plants time to recover, encouraging more growth, greater diversity and improved soil health.

As Fernando explains, it can also come with benefits for the health of your livestock, lower vet and med bills and reduced inputs.

Regenerate Outcomes are proud to work with Understanding Ag to help farmers maximise profits through improved soil health.

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting Understanding Ag’s first soil academies in Great Britain next year.

The academies are free to attend for Regenerate Outcomes’ member farms.

They will feature two days of interactive field walks and classroom sessions, led by experienced farmers combining practical knowledge with scientific expertise.

In the second of our series on agroforestry, we hear from Edd Colbert of Agroforestry Design.

Edd has lived and worked in the UK, Europe, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, in a variety of roles to support agroecological transitions.

He specialises in working with farmers, foresters and funders to design effective agroforestry systems.

Edd is also a key actor in the UK's agroforestry movement having organised the first Agroforestry Show, hosted by the Soil Association and Woodland Trust for the first time in Wiltshire last year.

In the first in our series on agroforestry, Peter Leeson, Woodland Creation Adviser for the Woodland Trust, explains how trees and hedgerows can help create resilient farms.

"I'm a real advocate for trees, but they have to add value to our farm systems and when we put a tree somewhere, we need to make sure it's in the right place,” says Peter.

“It's not just about trees being pretty, it's not just about biodiversity, although that's important. It's about how a farm can take a tree, or hedge or whatever it is and add value to the farm.”

"I fundamentally believe that the only thing that creates soil structure is biology.

“The more biology that we have of different sorts, the more organic compounds that will come to help create that aggregate structure.”

In the latest in our Autumn and Winter Webinar Series, we were joined by Ian Gould, a director of Oakbank Game and Conservation, to focus on how increasing diversity of all living organisms can improve soil health.

Oakbank has built a great reputation working with farmers and landowners to make the best use of agri-environment schemes to improve wildlife habitats.

This autumn and winter, Regenerate Outcomes is running a series of webinars exploring how to further regenerative activities on your farm.

Join us to hear from our mentoring partners at Understanding Ag and other leading regenerative voices.

This webinar series forms part of the benefits we offer for our member farms, but selected webinars are open to all.

In our webinar Rest, recovery and rooting depth webinar Dr Allen Williams, from our mentoring partner Understanding Ag, explains that while plants benefit from being given time to recover physically and physiologically from grazing, they also need periods of rest.

Allen also discusses the importance of taking a disruptive approach to adaptive grazing and the huge positive effects this can have on rooting depth and soil health.

This summer we’re hosting two farm walks with our programme members, giving you the chance to learn more about generating income from healthy soil.

Each event will include an overview of Regenerate Outcomes and a farm walk where you will be able to see regenerative practices in action. Kyle Richardville, from our mentoring partner Understanding Ag, will unpack the principles of soil health and how farms can use key indicators to inform their management.

We’ll be heading to Lannock Manor Farm, Hertfordshire, to set up for Groundswell soon and it will be fantastic to see you there on June 28 and June 29. Please come and find us at marquee stand 20 to learn more about how Regenerate Outcomes can work with you.
