Farm-Scale Regenerative Agriculture in two landscapes (WP3), evaluating the benefits of regenerative agriculture in terms of improved soil, wider environmental outcomes and food quality.
Dates: January 2021 to December 2025
Research Questions
How do farmers navigate the transition towards a more regenerative approach and how are they responding to a changing agricultural policy environment?
What are the impacts of a farm-scale transition to regenerative agriculture on soil health, biodiversity, ecosystem services and food quality, and how can farmer groups monitor these?
