Genuinely brilliant day at @Hutchinsons_Ag as part of @RoyalAgUni. I’m not sure I ever expected an agronomy firm to host an agri student day and use words like ‘agroecological’ and ‘the soil food web’ but here we are. Farming is changing.
6 years ago studying a MSc dissertation on Agroecological farming, I asked 100 farmers & agronomists to explain agroecology to me. 1% could do this. Now one of the big uk agronomy firms are holding a packed conference dedicated to this topic. Farming is changing #agroecology
Our final speaker of the Agroecology Conference is Joel Williams (@IntegratedSoils) who is visiting us from Canada, discussing how he's looking into redesigning the farming system to best use ecology where we can
Our Agroecology Conference is kicking off with @EdCTBrown, Head of Agroecology!
Exploring how farmers can make the most of regenerative farming practices to benefit the environment and the bottom line, today's conference offers practical advice on sustainable farming practices
