Not long to go until the #RegenerativeAgriculture festival Groundswell at Lannock Farm, Hertfordshire! Will we see you there? Come and find us at stall number DF B35! bit.ly/41D1S6N #regenag #GroundswellFestival


We are happy to be preparing for 2 new #VR #LTE experiences! One is the Glen Finglas LTE where Robin Pakeman James Hutton Institute is looking at the effects of #grazing on grassland #biodiversity. We will be visiting the site in two weeks to film for it. bit.ly/Gfinglas



We were excited to attend Groundswell for the first time, to meet with farmers, showcase the #AgroEcological #LTEs, & see people’s reactions to the #VR LTE experiences. We were also pleased to see some familiar faces! #Groundswell2025 #RegenerativeAgriculture #regenag
