WHAT IS REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE?
"Regenerative agriculture" is not precisely defined, but our friends at Wildfarmed have written and defined their own Wildfarmed Regenerative Standards to hold themselves accountable for the gold standard of regenerative farming.
They define regenerative agriculture as an approach to farming that works with nature, enhances the land and puts soil health first.
Regenerative farms have healthy soil (meaning less flooding and river pollution), produce nutrient-rich food and create thriving ecosystems filled with birds, bugs and bees, just as nature intended.
REGENERATIVE SUPPLIERS
GRASSROOTS
Grassroots advise food companies on sourcing better beef, direct from farmers driving change across the natural landscape.
They work with purpose-driven businesses with bold sustainability targets. Some are well into the journey of understanding regenerative farming, but many are taking their first steps and they work it out together.
By sourcing from Grassroots or other regenerative farms, landscapes can be restored.
Regenerative agriculture creates more resilient supply chains and security for hospitality operators.

WILDFARMED
Wildfarmed is a collective of regenerative wheat farmers in the UK and France.
When a grower joins Wildfarmed they are signing up to the gold standard of regenerative farming, the first ever third-party audited regenerative standards for arable farmers in the UK.
This means they are committing to restore ecosystems and completely remove their reliance on expensive and soil-depleting pesticides.
We have been working with Wildfarmed through our Zero Carbon Marketplace directory which connects and showcases innovative sustainable suppliers to members of our Zero Carbon Forum.
