Pasture-Fed Livestock Association

The Inkpot Organic Farm opens for the day with educational farm tours 11am & 1pm

Regenerate Outcomes & Pasture for Life are hosting a series of farm walks this year with a focus on growing farm resilience and profits through improved soil health.

A series of Pasture-Fed Livestock Association (PFLA) case studies which focus on various ways in which farmers are increasing biodiversity on their farm.

Have you ever wondered about all the things that your land delivers and whether there may be any way of measuring it? Not so long ago Michael Gove, as Environment Secretary, talked a lot about the historic opportunity provided by Brexit for ensuring that any funding for farming (which may replace the funding under CAP), rewards the delivery of public goods from land and not just food production. But if this is going to be possible, we need to find ways of identifying and measuring them.

This year Agricology returns to ORFC hosting the Agroecology in Practice Room (Assembly Room) and discussions in the St Aldates room, together with the PFLA and Soil Association.

Pasture for Life (PfL) standards can result in improved animal welfare, ecosystem resilience, healthier soils, and increased biodiversity.

This is video footage filmed at the ORFC 2019 of the session on silvopasture featuring farmer and PFLA member Chris Jones describing what he has implemented on his farm in Cornwall and why.

Jonty Brunyee reflects on the 4th EURAF conference, held in Nijmegen, Netherland. He covers the array of sessions held over the three-day event, and the inspirations he has taken away to implement at Conygree Farm

Naturally productive systems which support large numbers of grazing livestock have provided inspiration for Pasture for Life (PfL) certified producers to adopt pasture management practices which mimic those systems. I am currently involved in research that aims to evaluate the ecological, agronomic and social impacts of the pasture-fed livestock approach to grazing management and its potential as the basis of a sustainable GB-wide system.

New booklet highlights profitability of 100% grass-fed beef and sheep farming. Farmer case studies show it can be done.
