About Groundswell
Groundswell is a two-day festival of regenerative agriculture held on Lannock Farm in Hertfordshire. Farmers, researchers and suppliers meet for talks and panels on soil health, cover crops, direct drilling and livestock integration, with machinery and field demonstrations on the farm.
Who it is for
Farmers moving to or practising regenerative and conservation agriculture, agronomists, researchers, food companies and suppliers of drills and cover crop seed.
Why it is worth the trip
A concentrated place to hear farmers explain what has and has not worked in regenerative systems, and to see direct drills and cover crops in the field.
Make the most of it
If you are visiting
Focus on farmers’ own results and on demonstrations of drills and cover crop mixes under real conditions.
Before you go: Pick the talks and demonstrations most relevant to your soils and system from the programme, and bring questions on costs and transition periods.
If you are exhibiting
Bring field evidence and farmer case studies; the audience expects practical results rather than product claims.
A good result: Practical ideas for changing a rotation or establishment system, and contacts with farmers and advisers who have done it.
Questions to ask at the show
Who to meet: Regenerative farmers, soil scientists, agronomists, seed and drill suppliers and food companies sourcing from regenerative farms.
- How long did the transition take and what happened to yields and margins?
- Which drill and cover crop mix suit my soil type?
- How do buyers verify and pay for regenerative practices?
