Farmers and land managers are a key focus for us as a nation; they provide us with the food we need, but their land can also deliver a huge variety of other benefits to us as a society, such as carbon capture, flood mitigation and biodiversity. In our latest blog, George Chanarin explores how regenerative practices can not only help farm increase the benefits to society, but also how working with nature, through regenerative practices, can bring benefits to a farming business's balance sheet. In my lifetime, I am hoping to see more farmers consider themselves regenerative; looking at ways that they can continue to produce high-quality food, all while increasing soil health, improving biodiversity, holding more flood water and requesting more carbon.

⚖️ One of the key attractions of the GFM framework for farmers is that it takes into account external factors that affect the farm, as well as the outcomes from the farm itself. This increases awareness of the limitations on farmers’ ability to deliver the holistic outcomes for which they are increasingly being asked. On a recent trip to Devon, we spoke to farmers about the challenges they face and how these relate to the GFM categories. The GFM team also explored the benefits to farmers of using the GFM framework to guide on-farm data collection. Using an assessment based on the framework, farmers can track the sustainability of their whole farming system year-on-year. The team have developed an assessment to be used in farm trials this year. 👉 Scroll through to find out what the team learnt from this workshop with farmers. 🔗 To explore the Global Farm Metric framework in more detail, visit globalfarmmetric.org. #GlobalFarmMetric #SustainableFarming #Sustainability #SustainabilityMetrics

I'm excited to announce that my newest article for the Prospect Journal of International Affairs-- Vertical Farming: Lifesaver or Luxury?-- is now published! In this article, I wanted to take an in-depth look at the practice of vertical farming, and how disparities in implementation and success between the developed and developing world might indicate potential downsides of the practice. Building a more equitable food system is a major passion for me, so getting to explore this widely-discussed topic was hugely valuable. You can read my article here: https://lnkd.in/gwMFtpxf.
