Landscape-Scale Regenerative Farming (WP3) works at the landscape scale, evaluating the benefits of regenerative agriculture in terms of improved soil, wider environmental outcomes and food quality.
Dates: January 2021 to December 2024
Research Questions
How can the competency groups model be used to co-develop self sustaining systemic approaches to soil health at landscape scale?
What are the impacts of a landscape scale transition to regenerative agriculture on soil health, biodiversity, ecosystem services and food quality, and how can farmer groups monitor these?
