Great week in Texas for Nuffield Farming global focus programme. 👀 Exciting regenerative practices; Respect and pride from the Texans for their agricultural industry; Challenges including rising urbanisation, water shortages and the need for sustainable food production

Great hosting a Nuffield Farm event.
3 scholars discussed: food nutrient-density; impact of farm building design; and agroforestry- the benefits of trees in the farm landscape. Interesting thread: connection between farming and health, both physical and mental well-being 👩🏻‍⚕️👩🏻‍🌾

Saddened to hear of the passing of Dave Brandt. Humbled I had the chance to meet him at their farm field day, as part of my Nuffield travels. A wonderful example of a farmer willing to share his knowledge, build a community and encourage others to try something different

‘The biological, chemical and physical processes of the Earth have been perfected over millennia. Regenerative Agriculture is about remembering and restoring these natural processes’. Great thoughts shared at the Regenerative Agriculture and Food Systems Summit, USA

Had the pleasure of meeting Dave and Anne whilst in Seattle, chatted all things soil, food and health. Their latest book, ‘What your food ate’, is a great insight into how the way we farm and treat our soils impacts the amount of nutrients in our food 🍎🍊🥕🥦Dave&Anne

Fantastic opportunity it’s been to spend 2 weeks in the company of fellow Nuffield Scholars at the 2023 conference. A collection of brilliant people, brilliant ideas, from 15 countries, coming together to discuss how we preserve, progress and innovate our agricultural practices
