Practices that build soil health and resilience over time, alongside — not instead of — strong yields.

What it is

Building resilience into the land

Sustainable and regenerative farming covers practices such as cover cropping, reduced or no-till cultivation, diversified rotations and hedgerow/habitat management — aimed at improving soil structure, biodiversity and long-term productivity.

Benefits

How it helps

Healthier soil

Improved structure and water retention over time.

Resilience

Greater tolerance of drought and extreme weather.

Scheme access

Potential access to environmental stewardship schemes.

Input efficiency

Long-term efficiency as soil health improves.

Where it fits

Relevance to UK farming

Applicable across almost all farm types, though the right combination of practices depends on soil type, rotation and existing management.

Benefits typically build over several seasons rather than immediately — this is a long-term strategy best planned alongside your existing rotation and goals.
