🌾👨🏻🌾🌳👩🏽🍳🦋 STRENGTH THROUGH COMMUNITY 🌾👨🏻🌾🌳👩🏽🍳🦋 You might have seen the news. At 6pm on the 11th March, the all important SFI scheme was scrapped with no warning, no back up, and no support. The environmental subsidy helps farmers transition to a system that farms with nature, not against it. Farmers are operating so close to the cost of production that this government support is essential. In farmhouses across the country, families are looking at their balance sheets asking, what on earth do we do now? The only way to ensure we have abundant, healthy landscapes is to support the stewards of our farmland. It’s a no-brainer. Through collaborations with farmers, millers, bakers, food businesses and shoppers, we will find a way to make farming for nature the priority. And with that community, we’ll keep banging the drum (as LOUD as we can) for the government to see that farming for nature offers the best possible return on investment. But in the meantime, we'll leave you with the wise words of Margaret Mead: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." 💚

🔥🚜🌾 MEET OUR REGEN BROTHERS ACROSS THE POND: MAD AG 🌾🚜🔥 When Mad Agriculture co-founder Philip Taylor, Ph.D. asked himself, “What should I commit my life to?” he turned to poetry for the answer. Inspired by Wendell Berry’s Mad Farmer poems, he chose radical action—helping farmers break free from industrial ag and transition to regen. For the past seven years, Mad Ag has been shaking up the system across the US, offering farmers land and business planning, agronomy support, financing, and marketplace solutions—all rooted in love, community, and a whole lot of rebellious energy... Sounds familiar, right? Luckily for us, they swung by our office to tell us the full story, break bread and share ideas. We know that collective action + joy = BIG BANG action. So we move forward, arm in arm, with momentum by the bucket load. 🚀 Follow Mad Agriculture to see how they’re taking regen farming to the next level in the US

“Nature conservation was a 70s and 80s term. It's no good now; we need nature recovery” Robin Teverson, the host of Bright Tide gathering of AI entrepreneurs in the UK House of Lords this week, alongside Lord Kulveer Ranger. I was there to talk about AI & agriculture. Many times I suffered the pain of an Ag Tech early adopter. Replacing herbicides with a camera guided hoe, common currency these days, but getting this to work alone in a remote field 15 years ago, a different story. If the sun wasn’t shining into the camera lens, I drove arrow-straight & all electrical & hydraulic systems performed faultlessly, it worked well. Most of the time I spent sweat-soaked hours trying to find patterns in the problems or hoping that if I switched it off & on, it might work. More recently, it took a couple of years to get GPS accuracy down to the 2cm required for bi-cropping with my inter-row mower. 3 years ago, I built prototypes with a robotics company - an early attempt at autonomous arable bi-cropping. Some of it worked, a lot was learnt. Today, the Ag Tech opportunity is to fix the cake rather than the icing. Beyond autonomous tractors & optimising inputs, AI could change the way we manage natural systems by increasing our understanding of them. Part of Wildfarmed outcomes monitoring involves listening to the sounds of soil life & differentiating the buzz of insect wings. AI could unlock the secrets of the rhizosphere or allow handheld proactive crop management through nutrition rather than reactive treatment of disease with pesticides Perhaps the reason why well-applied regen, a solution to so many of our problems, is being embraced more slowly than it should, is because it's a system not a practice. After centuries of scientific advances based on reductionist methodology - a single variable in a controlled environment - our collective ability to think systemically is compromised. System-based science sits outside familiar disciplines. Analysis of a regen system needs to include at the least an agronomist, an economist, a hydrologist, a soil scientist, an entomologist, a nutritionist, a botanist.. When Europeans landed in California, they found rivers so full of fish they couldn’t get horses through the water. Valleys of trees laden with fruit & nuts. Meadows of edible grains. They wrote of the extraordinary abundance of this “wilderness”. But it wasn’t a wilderness. Locals carefully tended this landscape for millennia. 300 years later, California saw the first national park, an island of safety for nature; now for nature to thrive, mankind must be removed. Removing ourselves from nature & using our intellect to suppress it to produce food & clothing has brought us close to the end of the road. It would be an amazing next chapter if AI, the culmination of tech development in extractive economies, is harnessed to return us to where we began – an ability to embrace complexity, to tend the wild rather than destroy it. #RegenerativeFarming

Andy Cato, WILDFARMED CO-FOUNDER ON BBC RADIO FOUR 📻🌾💚 Dan Saladino asked the big question on the Food Programme last week, “What is regenerative agriculture”? From Alexander Cherry of Groundswell Agriculture, Emma Keller of Nestlé to John Kempf and our very own co-founder Andy - were called up to answer the question. Our view?
