Environmental and Socio‑Economic Outcomes of Transitioning to Regen Ag
Regenerative agriculture seeks to produce food while improving soil health, supporting biodiversity, and enhancing climate resilience. However, evidence on its environmental and socioeconomic outcomes remain limited, especially for whole-farm scale transitions. H3 and FixOurFood, two TUKFS research projects, have worked in partnership with farmers and at different scales to fill this research gap.
In this webinar, researchers will present their key findings. The H3 project assessed the transition from conventional to regenerative farming through a landscape-scale experiment, co-designed with commercial farmers across two UK regions. Webinar speakers will present a scoring system developed by the H3 project to evaluate the outcomes of regenerative agriculture on soil, biodiversity, yields, and crop health.
The FixOurFood project co-designed and established a replicated large-plot trial to demonstrate and measure the effects of stacking regenerative agriculture principles on environmental and socio-economic outcomes. This webinar will outline the impact of stacking regenerative principles on soil health, hydrology, soil biodiversity, crop health and yield from five regenerative farming systems in comparison to a conventional farming system over a three-year period and highlight some of the challenges as well as the benefits of transitioning to regenerative agriculture.
