New report. Agritech: supporting the future of farming. 🌍 Did you know that 7 in 10 farmers surveyed said they have already seen the impact of climate change on their farms? Yet, 40% don’t have a plan in place to reduce their emissions. 🚜 While 60% said they are eager to adopt new Agritech solutions to help them tackle challenges, almost half are held back by financial barriers. We spoke with farmers and Agritech innovators to explore how the government could unlock support and speed up the growth of this sector - worth an estimated £13billion for the UK economy. Curious about how Agritech is shaping the future of farming? Read the report now or download for later 👇

The 'Routes to Regen' project has launched 🚀 Happening across the East of England this year, we’re proud to be part of this project helping farmers overcome financial challenges as they switch to regenerative farming. Dana Clouston (née Muir), Head of Sustainable Finance, Business Bank Barclays, said: “Barclays has supported UK farmers for over 280 years - working with them through many periods of change, and now is no different. The ‘Routes to Regen’ project is an example of the systems-wide action needed across the whole value chain to support farmers innovate and adapt, and we look forward to working with partners through the SMI to help the UK’s farmers take meaningful steps to embed and scale regenerative practices”.
Despite the benefits of regenerative farming, it’s not scaling fast enough. Research by the Sustainable Markets Initiative’s Agribusiness Hub found that economic risk and a fragmented support system often deter farmers from making the transition. Today, we are pleased to share that the SMI is taking action to tackle these challenges with a new ‘Routes to Regen’ Lighthouse Project. The project has been launched by leading food and finance businesses within our network including McCain Foods, McDonald's, Lloyds Banking Group, Waitrose & Partners, NatWest, Barclays, Aon, Tokio Marine Kiln, and Lloyd's. Programme managed by The Royal Countryside Fund, the project aims to demonstrate the importance of cross-sector collaboration when it comes to driving the adoption of regenerative farming. By offering participating farmers a comprehensive menu of financial, technical, and peer-to-peer support options alongside expert on-farm guidance provided by Ceres Rural, farmers will receive a bespoke selection of support that suits the needs and ambitions of their farm. The initial phase will take place in the East of England, with an ambition to demonstrate that real progress requires collaboration across the entire value chain. The support options available have been provided by the SMI members leading the work alongside other companies and initiatives operating in the region including ADM, British Sugar, Burgess Farms, Cranswick Country Foods PLC, Farm Carbon Toolkit, LENs Company Ltd, Soil Association Exchange, Sustainable Food Trust and Wildfarmed. The long-term goal of the project is to showcase its learnings and insights to other global organizations, aiming to accelerate regenerative farming at pace and scale around the world.
