At the Regen Ag Summit today in Amsterdam. Lots of talk already about the need for a common framework for measuring and reporting on farm level impacts, whilst at the same time ensuring there is flexibility for local delivery #RAFSS@GFMCoalition@regen_10
This is a brilliant way to test new ideas and thinking about regenerative sourcing and design of food and drink products. Fully encourage businesses in this space to sign up!

Beautiful spot to talk to @greenfunders earlier today about the regenerative farming transition. Thanks to Bianca Pitt @SheClimate for hosting at Hoyle or ‘Slow Grown’ farm in Sussex. Wild flowers on point 👌🌷🌸
Very interesting day at the #futurecountryside forum. Great speech from @RoryStewartUK. Government needs to up its game. Protecting/regenerating our rural landscapes + promoting principle of positive health through food must both be at the heart of next year’s election campaigns
At #HayFestival2023 watching @Minette_Batters Tell the Food Story on stage 🎉🎉🎉
