This session is the second in a three part series of Regenerative Agriculture Workshops for farmers, supported by North Wessex Downs AONB and Earth Trust. All workshops in this series are designed and delivered by Niels Corfield, England’s leading regenerative soil adviser.

This session: Regenerative Grazing

Ever wanted to know what it is that makes grass grow rapidly and in drought?

Want to know how to convert consolidated soil into friable top soil that doesn’t saturate?
