For this month\u2019s episode of the Agronomy Matters podcast, we are focussing on Regenerative Agriculture.
\nWe were joined by Joe Stanley, the author of Farm to Fork, which was chosen by our members as the first book for the BASIS Book Club. Joe gave us a great insight into the content of his book, a glimpse behind the scenes of what it\u2019s like to be a published author and provided us with a fantastic introduction to regenerative agriculture to kick of this month\u2019s podcast.
\nWe were then joined by three members of the team at Wheatsheaf Farming:
\nFarm Manager - David Miller
\nAgronomist from Crop Management Partners - Ben Burrows
\nStewardship Adviser from Wessex Farm Wildlife - Alison Cross.
\nWheatsheaf Farming was formed in 2002 and operating regenerative and sustainable farming practices over their 700 hectares is at the forefront of what they do. Together they explain what inspired Wheatsheaf Farming to implement regenerative techniques, how these are monitored and measured, and how they all come together in their different roles to work towards a shared goal of creating a more sustainable farming business.
\nAt BASIS we are committed to supporting agriculture and protecting the environment for a more sustainable future, and many of our BASIS qualifications cover the concepts of regenerative agriculture which will help us achieve this, for example Quality of Soils and the Soil and Water Management Certificate.
