Would you like to be involved in an on-farm field trial exploring living mulches: direct drilling cash crops into (semi)-permanent established stands of clover? Are you already using living mulches on your farm?

In this live webinar you’ll get to meet some fungal folk heroes who create conditions where fungi and the rest of the soil food web  can really thrive again, improving soil fertility, plant production, and accumulating carbon

In this webinar, agroecologist, Nicole Masters, shares a case study from Cottonwood Ranch in the Northern Nevada desert, where she reported regenerating a degraded hay pasture with biological management for only $20/acre, compared to the $160/acre cost for chemical fertilizer management.

We’re going to take a deep dive into mycorrhizal fungi because they are a perfect example of how a better future for agriculture can be realized through plant and microbial relationships. Due to beneficial interactions with plants, mycorrhizal fungi can improve yields, crop health, and soil food web resilience

Every organism in a healthy and thriving soil ecosystem is important, including bacteria, protozoa, and nematodes. We’re going to focus on plants and fungi in this webinar, because they have unique roles and partnerships that facilitate every other form of life in the soil. 

Innovative Farmers & FABulous farmers demonstration event where farmers will share their experiences of using diverse winter grazing crops

A one day course on Herbal Leys Establishment and Management brought to you by the FarmED team and Cotswolds Seeds.

What is a weed? We generally think of it as the wrong plant in the wrong place. But what if we viewed these plants as bioindicators that can inform us about soil health or management practices? Join us for a practical workshop to learn what weeds can teach us.

Meet local farmer and co-founder of Wildfarmed Andy Cato at FarmED on the 27th April. Andy’s talk at FarmED will chart his journey from France to the UK, the genesis of Wildfarmed and the support they offer farmers in transitioning from chemical-based agriculture towards biological systems.

OF&G’s National Organic Conference is an annual event built to service the stakeholder community in and around the organic sector.

Join the Agricology team and a range of guest speakers for a day of talks about getting started with regenerative agriculture and how to make it work financially. Regenerative agriculture is becoming ever more popular across UK farming, however for many there are still uncertainties as to how best to get started, which techniques are […]

Come and join leading practitioners for two days of hands-on workshops that explore how biodynamic principles and practice and permaculture design can be used at farm scale.

The Groundswell event provides a forum for farmers and anyone interested in food production or the environment to learn about the theory and practical applications of Conservation Agriculture or regenerative systems, including no-till, cover crops and re-introducing livestock into the arable rotation, with a view to improving soil health

Down to Earth will focus on the basic principles of regenerative agriculture, offering an arena where the whole industry can come together and address the opportunities, facts, and science surrounding its principles and to see it in action.

At its core, regenerative agriculture looks at improving the health of soil or restoring highly degraded soil. This unique event will offer farmers the practical advice they need to start applying its principles back on their farms.

Interest in agroforestry is on the rise across the UK farming and forestry sectors, yet for many there is still uncertainty as to how to put this concept into practice.Amidst this uncertainty agroforestry presents a huge opportunity for innovation between those who produce food and those who work with trees. Now is the time to […]

It is recognised that there is a need to bring together the scientific evidence supporting the implementation of regenerative agriculture, to help evaluate the potential benefits and challenges for food production, the environment and farm profitability, across different agroclimatic zones and farming systems.

This conference will examine how we can successfully integrate trees into the farmed landscape and build mutually beneficial relationships between the farming and forestry sectors at this time of transition.

After two years delay, the International Recycling of Agricultural, Municipal and Industrial Residues in Agriculture Network (RAMIRAN) Conference is due to take place in Cambridge from the 12th to the 14th of September 2023
