Wiltshire Farm Visit: Exploring Regenerative Agriculture and Supply Chain Collaboration

Join us for an exclusive visit to Wood Farm in Wiltshire to learn more about regenerative agriculture in practice, explore its benefits, understand how progress can be measured, and discuss future trends.

Hosted by FDF and Argon & Co, the day will include a morning farm tour followed by an afternoon discussion on how to increase supply chain investment in farming.

Bringing together food and drink manufacturers and retailers, the event will provide an opportunity to explore the common barriers and enablers to scaling regenerative agriculture and help strengthen collaboration across the supply chain.

Don't miss this opportunity to visit the historic Wood Farm, see regenerative agriculture practices first-hand, exchange perspectives with industry peers, and explore future areas of collaboration.

Limited spaces are available. Please sign in to register your interest, or get in touch with Emma Piercy if you would like to attend.

 

About Wood Farm

The 700-acre farm covers a diverse landscape, including clay lowlands, chalk and flint hills, rolling valleys, and protected ancient downland

Sustainability and environmental stewardship have long been central to the farm’s approach, with a strong emphasis on regenerative agriculture, managing over 1,000 sheep and growing a variety of crops, including wheat, barley, turnips and maize.

The farm operates under an existing Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) agreement, is part of the Higher-Level Scheme (HLS), includes areas designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and is part of the Duchy of Cornwall’s sustainability programmes.
