What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Tom Edmondson took over a 120ha family farm near Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire. Since 2012, he has transitioned the business from intensive pig production and arable farming to a low-input, extensive mixed farm system. His next step involves integrating agroforestry by planting trees in grass and arable fields this winter.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The farm's shift to regenerative principles has already resulted in falling input costs and eased management time. The new agroforestry plan aims to provide weather protection and water management while creating new business opportunities through the production of fruit and nuts.
