Can regenerative farming save the planet?

Camilla Burrow, Chief Executive of Wild Oxfordshire will give a short update on some of our achievements over the last 12 months, followed by the main lecture given by Jonty Brunyee Head of Sustainable Farming at FarmED (West Oxfordshire). Jonty Brunyee is passionate about regenerative farming, sustainable food and knowledge exchange, and has 25 years’ experience in the sustainable farming and environmental sector. He will focus on Regenerative Farming – what it means, the key principles, what it looks like in practise, and finally the pros and cons of regenerative farming.
